Hoed van zwart, doorschijnend stro c. 1918 - 1920

"Hoed van zwart, doorschijnend stro" (Hat of black, transparent straw) is a hat designed by Maison Marcel, a millinery house active in the early 20th century. The hat, created between 1918 and 1920, is crafted from black, transparent straw and features a geometric design on the crown. This design, composed of a cross within a square, suggests a modern sensibility typical of the Art Deco movement that was gaining traction in the 1920s. The simplicity of the hat, combined with the bold graphic design, reflects the era's appreciation for both functionality and visual elegance.
