Description
Paper photograph depicting a woman wearing a dark dress with long gloves and three sting pearl necklace, with an elegant greige boater hat, bordered with a strap of the same color. The press paper is saying that the great Parisian fashion designer Pierre BALMAIN, has just presented the hats that will accompany his summer 1956 toilet: most of his models are strangely reminiscent of the shape of the three-cornered hat, so dear to the 18th century.
