Lilly Daché

Lilly Daché was the foremost hat designer in the United States from the 1930s to the 1960s. A French-born milliner, or hat maker, Lilly Daché arrived in America with nothing but thirteen dollars in her pocket, and founded a veritable fashion empire. The name Lilly Daché became a revered and coveted brand. In an era when no respectable woman would be seen in public without a hat, Lilly Daché reigned over both the art and the business of millinery. The legions of women who wore her creations ranged from stars to stenographers. Considered by many to be the essence of chic and wit, Daché understood what her customers wanted. She astutely forged a persona as a fashion authority whom other women could trust on matters of beauty and style.
