Visual Language: Chosen Object





vintage woman's hat circa 1950's (still searching for an exact date/manufacturer)

My target audience would be vintage enthusiasts, more precisely those interested in apparel and accessories. Hats have always been an important piece of clothing history. Women in particular have made it an iconic part of fashion. Perhaps it would evoke memories of the first vintage store my audience had visited or the first time they saw a lady wearing a beautiful old hat. Hats have also been instrumental in the identity or association of title or employment ('man of many hats') and social status. I think that there can be a lot of interesting information uncovered about hats and their cultural connotations.
