The "Lillie Langtry" Hat Collection
Inspired by the notorious and beautiful star of the Victorian and Edwardian stage and mistress of a King, who both mesmerized and scandalized Victorian society and besides her fame, was a setter of Fashion--ladies of the time avidly copied her hats & clothes.....most notably the "Langtry Turban" which she herself created one day from a length of velvet and made Victorian millinery history.....! These hats are exquisite handsewn beauties with 100% pure silk drapings and almost all-antique laces, silks, feathers and embellishments used, giving them a wonderfully historically accurate look. They are also very versatile and can be worn two ways, as an Edwardian toque sitting high on the head, or tilted towards the forehead in a Victorian style suitable for wearing with bustle gowns....fabulous!

My own version of the "Langtry Turban"....which Lillie designed one day in the 1870's when she could not find a suitably matching hat to go with a certain outfit....and very creatively and ingeniously made herself a fashionable turban-type hat from a draped piece of velvet...after seeing her wear this original design, the next day all of London's elegant ladies were imitating it and it became a world wide fashion statement! This exquisite hat inspired by Lillie's turban sensation is made of black silk taffeta and black silk satin, elaborately draped and punctuated with gorgeous antique steel-beaded ornamentation, antique Victorian silver beadwork motifs and a vintage ivory ostrich feather plume as well as a side ornament of black feathers.....can be worn either as a Victorian style turban or more of an Edwardian toque depending on how you tilt it/situate it on the head and what hairstyle is worn with it....An exquisite millinery piece that looks very rich with black outfits whether Edwardian or Victorian!
