The Performative Hat
The hat as prop in the worlds of circus, variety, music hall, cabaret, burlesque, striptease, magic etc.
The Master of Ceremonies’ top hat… the clown’s slapstick comedy hat… the hat juggled with… the contortionist doffing the hat with her toes… the ostrich plumes of the fan dancer, the performing dog in a hat…
Each hat has been tailored to an individual burlesque or circus performer and is designed to be performed with.
The styling for the collection is based on a Victorian funeral and circus freak show.
A dance of the dead!
