Basha Gold
Yves Saint Laurent YSL Soft Blue Silk Hat, 1970s
$0
Hats and other accessories were employed by Yves Saint Laurent to contextualize his runway shows. Each look was carefully curated from quite literally head-to-toe to ensure the most effective composed look was created. From fezzes to wide brim derby hats, Saint Laurent runways during the early decades were rife with a variety of colorful headwear.
This 1960s sky blue seamed hat is made from a dupioni silk in a simple high-domed style. The brim of the hat is ribbed with concentric ice-blue stitching and is fairly wide. Around the base of the hat is a thick band in the self fabric that creates a faux bow in the back. The pale color and the traditional style evoke a demure esteem. A light, elegant option for a calm day or early evening ensemble.
Measurements:
Brim: is 5 inches in front and tapers to 4 inches at the back
Crown height: 6 inches
Circumference: 23 inches
Lined in a similar blue silk, the interior also features a Tiffany blue grosgrain sweatband as well as the Yves Saint Laurent label. It is in excellent condition.
