Daché, Lilly. Talking Through My Hats. First Edition. 1946. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good condition—jacket shows chips to the upper and lower spine, as well as small edge tears.
Must one choose between American glamour and French sophistication? Not necessarily. Consider the story of milliner extraordinaire Lilly Daché, who loved all things American but interpreted them through her Gallic heritage. She became the most successful hat designer of all time (Halston was once her apprentice). This memoir, written at the height of her career, covers her childhood in France, immigration to America, and the thirteen-dollar loan that blossomed into a one hundred-fifty-employee business. Uncommon in jacket.
“I do not have a crystal ball, and never have I studied palmistry. I cannot read tea leaves in a cup—but I can tell your character by the way you buy a hat.”
--Lilly Daché
