“The Hat of Passion”

1920’s Style Fedora
Made for a Women

This amazing hat, which we call “Le chapeau de l’Ardeur”, is inspired by the hauntingly sensual fedora worn by “The Young Girl” in the famous best selling semi-autobiographical novel “The Lover” by Marguerite Duras, and again with such great effect when the fedora was worn by actress Jane March, playing “The Young Girl”, in the cult classic 1992 MGM Motion Picture, “L’ Amant” (“The Lover”), based on the book , and directed by the legendary Jean-Jacques Annaud.


As Ms. Duras describes how “The Young Girl” feels when she wears the fedora: “…Suddenly I see myself as another, as another would be seen, outside myself, available to all, available to all eyes, in circulation for cities, journeys, desire… I take the hat and am never parted from it. Having got it, this hat that all by itself makes me whole, I wear it all the time.”

The symbolism of this glorious hat, exclusively reserved for young men bursting with economic power ready to be explored, is ironically perfect, seen on the head of an innocent young schoolgirl, bursting with sensual power ready to be explored.

Please note: The color of your hat will be just like the original. However, because of the many variances in computer monitors, the color you see on your screen may be slightly different that the actual custom made hat. Rest assured, you are getting the original hat in the original color!
