Cloche Hat
The head because it is a hat.
A cloche hat tends to have the brim that flops down, and is close to the face. It is normally for women. A fedora had a horizontal or upturned brim, and is normally worn by men, but occasionally by women too.
the cloche hat was deigned AND created by a french fashion designer Caroline Reboux This above statement is NOT TRUE and is misleading....This is not a factual statement, if you are inferring by the word "created" that Caroline Reboux invented the cloche hat. While it is true that Reboux designed cloche hats, and created cloche hats, and was one of the handful of milliners especially known for them in the 1920's, she was not the first to do so, and certainly did not invent them. The cloche hat was seen and mentioned in women's French fashion magazines as early as 1917, with credit being given to other French hat designers of note. The statement of Caroline Reboux being the inventor of the cloche is a common error and seen on numerous websites, but educated millinery historians such as myself would certainly disagree. Someone needs to set the record straight as I am tired of seeing this misinformation on the web. It simply is not true that Caroline Reboux invented the cloche hat.
