Doris Duke wore many pieces by Christian Dior, one of the most important couturiers of the 20th-century, Dior launched his “New Look” in 1947—a style which revolutionized women’s silhouettes and was a sharp pivot away from fashion during the war. This hat features a wide round brim and a small crown made of woven wicker. A grosgrain bow is attached at the back base of the crown. Two long ribbons come down from the interior of the hat to affix hat to head. Label “Christian Dior Paris Made in France.”
