: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats
by Michael Cunningham, Craig Marberry, Maya Angelou
Book Description: Countless black women would rather attend
church naked than hatless. For these women, a church hat, flamboyant as
it may be, is no mere fashion accessory; it's a cherished African American
custom, one observed with boundless passion by black women of various religious
denominations. A woman's hat speaks long before its wearer utters a word.
It's what Deirdre Guion calls "hattitude...there's a little more strut
in your carriage when you wear a nice hat. There's something special about
you." If a hat says a lot about a person, it says even more about a people
- the customs they observe, the symbols they prize, and the fashions they
fancy.
Photographer Michael Cunningham beautifully captures the self-expressions
of women of all ages-from young glamorous women to serene but stylish grandmothers.
Award-winning journalist Craig Marberry provides an intimate look at the
women and their lives. Together they've captured a captivating custom,
this wearing of church hats, a peculiar convergence of faith and fashion
that keeps the Sabbath both holy and glamorous.

Hats, and Veils With Professional Results
by Claudia Lynch
Anyone who's ever gone shopping for wedding clothing knows how startlingly
pricey veils are. With even the simplest bridal headpieces taking a hefty
bite of the wedding budget, it only makes sense to make it yourself if

(and inexpensive) lace, veiling, silk flowers and pearls that are widely
available, it can be a fun project and not an arduous task. There are tips
for selecting the right headpiece style for your face, figure and dress
(whether it's a simple barrette with bow or an ornate tiara with cathedral-length
veil) ; illustrations to help you decide how elaborate you want your hat,
veil, comb or clip to be; and hundreds of embellishment techniques involving
nothing more complicated than a hot glue gun. The directions are easy to
follow, and for those who don't have a good bridal section in their local
fabric and notions store, the list of wholesale and retail mail-order suppliers
will be invaluable. Amazon.com

Tiara
by Diana Scarisbrick
Book Description: The tiara has played a glittering role in
the lives of the elegant and extravagant--from the doe-eyed Audrey Hepburn
in the film classic Roman Holiday to generations of England's royal family--representing
the height of sophisticated glamour. Worn for centuries by nobility and
high society, tiaras are enjoying renewed popularity among today's movie
stars and modern brides. Created in conjunction with an exhibition of tiaras
at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this magnificent volume showcases more
than 75 of the world's most exquisite tiaras adorned with everything from
delicate feathers to ornately decorated, gold fleur-di-lis scrollwork set
in diamonds, pearls, and sapphires. An essay by Diana Scarisbrick, curator
of the exhibition, traces the tiara's history, and dozens of photographs
show tiaras worn by Russian princesses, British royalty, American socialites,
and many others. Taking a lighter, popular culture approach to a traditionally
high fashion subject, Tiara will delight aficionados as well as those less
familiar with the tiara's artistry, who will be astonished by the array
of styles, shapes, and showstoppers from around the world.

and the accessories themselves--reproduce each original item in meticulous
detail, accompanied by a complete description. The book covers every kind

and parasols; jewelry; scarves, stoles, and capes; gloves and belts; cravats,
ties, and bow-ties. It includes a wide range of streetwear and sportswear,

late-century sports shoe. All the century's archetypal accessories are
identified, from the luxurious ostrich-feather and flower-bedecked hat
of the 1910s and the cloche and pearl necklace of the 1920s, to the velvet
scarf and mini-backpack of the 1990s. A final reference section contains
a comprehensive bibliography and a chart that shows at a glance how accessories
have evolved since 1900. There are biographies of the century's most influential
accessories designers, from Salvatore Ferragamo and Manolo Blahnik to Patrick
Cox and Georgina von Etzdorf, plus short histories of companies and firms
that have played an important role in accessory design. For fashion enthusiasts,
historians, and collectors, as well as designers working in the performing
arts, this book will be the definitive reference work on twentieth-century
