DACHÉ Lilly (Milliner)

Lilly Daché decorates a half-hat with feathers, autumnal berries and dried flowers for American Vogue. Towering turbans, draped toques and snoods, and knitted or openwork nets that enclosed the hair at the back of the head were other millinery confections characteristic of Daché. Trained at Caroline Reboux's atelier in Paris, she emigrated to the United States and in 1924 became, like Hattie Carnegie before her, an assistant in the millinery department at Mary's. Two years later she set up her own establishment in New York and became one of the most eminent milliners in America, challenging Paris for the title of millinery capital. She adorned the heads of New York high society and of Hollywood stars such as Betty Grable and Marlene Dietrich _ as well as Carmen Miranda. Her most outstanding discovery was Halston, who designed pillbox hats for Jacqueline Kennedy before moving into fashion.
