Bonnet
1935-1942
Ferdinand Badin’s meticulous study of a bonnet captures the intricate textures of historical fashion with almost photographic precision. The deep brown silk is gathered into endless, cascading ruffles, contrasting beautifully with the delicate white lace trim that frames the face opening. A large, bold plaid ribbon tied into a dramatic bow at the chin adds a playful, rustic touch to the otherwise elegant headpiece. Created between 1935 and 1942, this piece reflects Badin's talent for costume illustration, preserving the fleeting trends of a bygone era in stunning detail.
