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:

i love the history, in 1900 not many women dare to do what she did, she dared to be herself and make a name for herself.
I love vintage fashion and hats are the number one fashion statement of vintage fashion. Good vintage fashion. The photography is wonderful and it shows the fashion off really well. LOVE IT!
I’ve always wanted to wear a hat, but growing up they were either functional or for people who were showing off. O am now comfortable with who I am, just need to expand my hat knowledge.
I just love the cover, makes me smile every time I see it!
I like that it actually has a good amount of text. I like to have information with my pictures.
My favorite part of the book would be the photographs from Avedon, Newton, Horst, and Klein and I would love to learn more about fashion from the 40’s and 50’s!
I love these old Hollywood hats, would love to wear a classy hat to Derby sometime!
Always loved hats and especially love the old Hollywood glamour associated with this book ~ My Fair Lady, etc. 🙂
The pictures hearken to a much different time and give me ideas.
I love that it was a woman designing all these amazing hats at a time when most women stayed at home to take care of the house.
I like that it includes 150 photos of hats throughout history!
I love collecting fashion books, namely vintage, but I don’t have one that is solely dedicated to my favorite accessory: hats. I also love looking at fashion books that have a lot photographic images, such as this one.
What a fascinating book! I love hats and found it very interesting that Madame Paulette designed hats for My Fair Lady and Gigi. Thanks for the great giveaway.
this book would be for my daughter, she is in to vintage clothes and always wears hats they are her favorite, plus she has Audrey Hepburn plastered on her walls she adores her
One of my fav genres is historical. This is set in the 1900s. One of the things I liked about historicals is their fashion.
I like the headwear especially the one she is wearing on the cover of the book. It is a blast.
I loved the picture of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady!! I have always loved that hat! 🙂
I love hats and wish they would come back in style like they were before. this book illustrates the many beautiful styles that women of glamor used to wear.
My grandma LOVED hats and purchased and wore them all the time, especially to church. this book would remind me of gram and see other hats!
i LIKED the aspect of all the detail of the hand drawn sketches and the style of hats worn by the lovely ladies. Such sophistication.
