Paris Milliner Extraordinaire ($50.00 hardcover, 9780500517314) highlights the life and work of famed milliner Madame Paulette, whose incomparable creations were worn by such film stars as Greta Garbo and Audrey Hepburn, and such royals as Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duchess of Windsor.
The pictures in Hats by Madame Paulette are just stunning. This is not a flip through coffee table book, but an enjoy-every-picture andspend-a-Sunday-afternoon-with-it book. When you view her creations, you will surely agree with Karl Lagerfeld, who said of Paulette:
She was the last of a line of artists of this kind. She had something in her fingers, a magic touch…

what’s intriguing about this is all the famous people that wore her designs, I love books w/pictures, they tell a story before I even begin to read the book
I just love looking at fashion
The older vintage hats look great
I love that the book has the concept art and the completed hat. My niece would love this.
It sounds like an interesting read. Illustrations are always a plus.
I like that Vogue commented oon the book so therefor found it worthwhile.
How beautiful! I’m a lover of all things vintage and old Hollywood, and the clothing of the golden age is so unlike what stars wear today. I’d love to learn more about hats – something that was once a staple. The photographs, from the cover and the preview pages, are gorgeous. I’d like a history lesson, for sure!
I love seeing the drawing being made into an actual hat.
My mom works with vintage clothing at a historical association, and I know she’d be crazy about this book!
I want to see the vintage Avedon photographs and Cecil Beaton film stills!
I like that it’s in hardcover…and I think the photos would be interesting!
I like that it has so many photos and illustrations, I love beautiful photos.
I like that the book has illustrations from her designs that were worn in classic films. I love old movies and it would be very fun to read about the history and then watch the movie mentioned.
I love that the book has pics of the hats alongside the sketches they came from.
I like that it is illustrated and you can see all the beautiful days.
I like the 40’s and 50’s hats! The best time in Paris fashion.
This would be a great book just all the pictures and all the inspiration I could glean from them.
I love the retro hat looks! The pictures are great to see and I love using them for inspiration in my wardrobe.
I like that it has pictures of the hats worn by stars & that you can spend a whole afternoon looking at the book.
I am excited because the reviews are amazing! I especially love this one –
“An essential guide on the most indispensable fashion item of the mid-twentieth century.” (The Arts by Karena).
I love fashion in all aspects so reading about this book is fabulous! I love trying to figure out millinery for a long time, I do make Renaissance “Garb” for fun (yeah I am alittle strange) The one thing I love and cannot seem to grasp is hat making!
