Happy Halloween my fellow style historians! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the story of the witches hat. Have you wondered where the witches hat originated from?
I think the most intriuging fact is that this hat was born from folklore. There are stories about witches keeping organs inside of their hats and using for magical spells. Old Stories claim witches were only meant for evil and the hat was used to intensify their scary appearance. Good thing it's all fiction.
I have always been drawn to fashion and obsessed with it's history. I am not sure where it came from because no one in my family is into it, but my dad says I that I get it from him. I enjoy discovering traces of fashion in my own family history and enjoyed exploring this mysterious photo.My grandfather passed away seven years ago in Ennis, Montana which also happens to be his place of birth. Ennis was his favorite town because it was filled with lots of family, great memories, and beautiful scenery. His parents lived there and he was very close with his mother who was well known in the community. We had fanastic experiences when we vacationed as children. Unfortunately, the last time we were there was to lay him to rest. Over seven years ago I saved this photo when we went through his belongings. I didn't remember a lot about my great grandmother but I loved this picture of her. So, I tucked it away until I was looking for artwork to put in our office.
