About

Why this artist matters now

Caroline Reboux was a French milliner and hat designer whose innovative creations shaped women's fashion in Paris from the 1870s through the early twentieth century. Working primarily in felt, silk, and feathers, she pioneered streamlined silhouettes that departed from the heavily ornamented bonnets of mid-Victorian style. Her atelier on the Rue Saint-Honoré became a destination for wealthy clientele across Europe. Reboux's designs were characterized by architectural precision and restrained elegance, establishing principles of modernist millinery that influenced fashion for decades.
