1970s Yves Saint Laurent Chic Blue Felt Fedora Hat designer-la-mendola I slips over the head

I slips over the head to wear and the arms are cut long so the sides are pretty much open if you extend your arms

The little cut edged early plastic buttons are the cream on this cupcake of a dress

The fabric is a semi-sheer cotton silk voile so the piece does not weigh much but retains its shape when worn

A belt with a flat bow is the perfect finish

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Chic Blue Felt Fedora Hat designer-la-mendola I slips over the headA fabulous, deep blue soft felt Yves Saint Laurent hat that feels fresh and relevant. The brim is top stitched with an array of pretty pastel color stitched stripes pink, blue, yellow and white. These also have been done on the bands that cross over the top of the hat and are anchored by little gold crosses. The colors are very subtle and are a nice little touch that becomes apparent as you get closer to the hat. It feels very on point and modern.
