French milliner Jean Barthet rose to the height of fashion in the 1950s and 1960s as the go-to source for innovative accessories. Designing in the traditional manner of great French hat makers, Barthet embellished his creations with trimmings that reflected his own style and imagination, including velvet ribbons and bows. He has dressed the heads of fashion's most iconic women, Brigit Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Loren, to name a few. We tip our hats to this style innovator.
