Video of 1939 Walter Florell hat, exhibition text read: As dynamic accessories, hats often allow designers and wearers to stretch the edges of traditional expression. This playfully oversized hat draws inspiration from the designer’s heritage, recalling the Tyrolean hats worn as part of German tradition and at Oktoberfest celebrations. Typically worn by men, this piece was marketed as a women’s accessory, the whimsical scale and dramatic feather shifting the design from folk to fashion and from masculine to feminine. Vanessa Lopez (American) "Old Fashioned" hat, with artist statement: Artist statement Chicago is the birthplace of not only Bes-Ben millinery but also the hometown of a 1940s favorite cocktail, the Old-Fashioned!

The central button base evokes a dragon’s hoard, encrusted with several hundred beads and 140 hand-drilled polyhedral gaming dice individually stitched to the hat. A hand-painted miniature hero figurine poses as if challenging the dragon. Bes-Ben was also a storyteller in hats, and I was inspired to combine the exuberance of both D&D and his work in my design.
