-Right period, Focus on the 20s -

As Joanna said in an interview, a model in a some parisian art studio around 1920 in Paris (France) is one of the inspirations for the HOOM cover photo. For that post, I was planed to speak about 1920's flapper and kind of "the great gatsby" style. In pointing the headpice that Joanna wear on the picture. It's not visible in great details. And knowing the time period, and based on what I can see, I asumed it was some kind of "clasical" well knowned 20's headband. It was verry dificult to find an historical image that match well enought with the shape of that headpice. Lucky me! After houres of reserch, I think I found what Joanna was wearing during the photosoot day. Here it is :

A 1920's Rare Art-Deco Brass Egyptian Revival Flapper.

With those key words, you will can find more informations on the web. Here is what I learned on a Etsy page:

"This is for ONE of these authentic 1920's adjustable brass flapper head piece.

If you search "Egyptian Revival Brass Headpiece" on Pintrest you will find great pictures of these on models and alot of information…These are highly collectible and pretty rare to find for sale.

"These beautifully hammered metal art-deco headpieces were the “must haves” of the roaring 1920’s Egyptian revival period.They were fashioned with green-enamel drops and faux pearls dripping from a circular motif decorated tool bar. The pearl loop is attached to a metal rod that moves freely in a circle so as you move your head they will stay draped properly. Bilateral design and head brass bars are adjustable either way. The headpiece can be slightly bent by hand to match your head and then hammered down to keep that shape.

Only sign of age is some natural patina that is fairly even all over. This patina makes these pieces beautiful and truly antique. Headpiece does adjust to fit up to a 24 inch head comfortably."
