To designer Pierre Cardin, every aspect of an ensemble—including hats and accessories—was important. Along with bold, geometrically designed gloves, Cardin worked in felt, fur, wool, and velvet to create hats in new shapes that were in dialogue with the entire outfit. “…the important thing was the shape and the height,” said Cardin. “I wanted to be noticed.”
