Fashion over Function

Fashion is a powerful expression of culture, and hats have long played a role in making bold statements. From vibrant colours to diverse materials, fashionable headwear reflects both personal style and societal trends. 

 

This exhibit highlights some of the most distinctive hats in our collection, exploring the design elements that define various styles. Spanning from the early 1900s to the present day, these pieces reveal how fashion choices—especially in headwear—can reflect individuality, identity, and the spirit of the times.
