Christian Dior expanded its hauses to London and New York. This hat is from the New York store designed by Marc Bohan who had milinary experience as well as fashion design. He took over the hause of Dior from YSL. This turban is made out of a matted gold silk. It is hand pleated in several different directions. The Fremont pleats make a rosette. The lining is a gray faille which gives it stiffness and structure. Worn in evening sometimes even with a matching dress and coat ensemble. The size is 7 3/4. Excellent condition.
