Coco Cloche

Coco Cloche Pattern

From “A Head For Fashion“

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s reputation as an arbiter of chic was cemented during the 1920s and ‘30s, when she designed the most freeing and comfortable garments women had ever worn.

Naturally, she designed and wore the iconic hat of the Jazz Age – the cloche. This example, with its narrow, down-turned brim worn low over the forehead, a textured and embellished band, and a sophisticated color combination of charcoal, orchid, and lilac, is inspired by the legend herself.
