Rising from poverty to the height of success in her profession, Simone Mirman developed a talent for designing hats to flatter even the most ‘challenging’ faces. Eventually, she launched her own business, designing hats for the British royal family, aristocrats, and celebrities. This chic and comfortable cloche features a deep Art Deco-inspired color work rise and appliqué embellishments in full bloom.
