A model wears a suit labeled as a Jacques Fath design, with funnel-shaped cuffs at the wrists and a broad beaver-felt hat that dominates the outfit. The caption card, whose data is unverified, dates the photograph to August 17, 1955, and lists hats and fashions as its subjects. Fath, a Paris couturier known for tailored, feminine silhouettes, died in 1954, so the picture shows designs from a house that continued after his death. Large fur-felt hats like this were a common accessory in the mid-1950s, when wide brims were often paired with fitted jackets.
