Donna Karan Black Lace Ivory Floral-Accent Majorette Hat

Donna Karan is no stranger to using an interesting hat to set a look apart. Known for her polished, career-wear aesthetic, Donna Karan has revolutionized accessible women’s fashion since the 1980s. Karan’s collections tend to adhere to a standard of neutral colors (most commonly black, and white), and tend to highlight silhouettes structured with soft lines. This Donna Karan features all of these classic elements.

Made from a black, coated lace, this majorette inspired hat offers a light, translucent way to top off an edgy/elegant look. A loosely pleated black silk hatband grounds the design with a boyish charm. Sticking to the achromatic color palette, a detachable ivory silk flower brooch is affixed to the front adding another layer of theatrics.

Measurements:

Brim: 3 inches and tapers to no brim in the back

Crown height: 3 1/4 inches

Diameter: 23 inches

In excellent condition, this Donna Karan hat reimagines the 19th century theatre hat by combining the dramatic, opulent style with that of an equally ostentatious majorette hat, and refines both inspirations masterfully. Fitted with an elastic chinstrap, the hat has a shallow brim, and features a black, grosgrain ribbon sweatband on the interior. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
