Photograph depicting two women, the actress Colette REPERT (on the left) and the singer Maya CASABLANCA (on the right), during a reception on "the stars" of the Eiffel Tower. The ladies are modeling new headgears called the "Nefertitis" by René GARRAUD. To prevent the woman from being disheveled by the wind during her car rides, René GARRAUD has created a series of hair protectors with a new style and originality. These hats called "Nefertiti" are composed of a cone of straw and a skilful draping of gauze.
