Cap with glasses by C.P. Company and other brands
If once, the stern Roman stoneworker did not polish the smaragd for Emperor Nero, if the Arab Ibn al-Haysam did not discover the effect of a magnifying glass, if in 1285 the first lenses were not made in Italy, and in 1885 the first motorcycle was not invented then, in 1886, the first car, and in 1903 the first Wright Brothers aircraft would not soar into the sky, the world would never have known about such a fashionable trend as a hat with glasses!
What is the name of
Modern hats with glasses are descendants of heavy leather hats, with massive glasses-canned food, which were intended for drivers of cars, motorcyclists, pilots of the early twentieth century. They are much lighter and more elegant than their predecessors, more diverse in color, shape and materials. Only one detail connects them with the distant past: the presence of glasses.
Least of all has changed since that time the cap model with glasses, based on the shape of the helmet. Its name remains unchanged: the Pilot’s Cap, the Pilot’s Cap, simply the Pilot, or the Aviator.
In the process of fashionable evolution, the design of the glasses was transformed, discarding everything superfluous. And, in the end, there were only lenses that have become an integral part of the C.P Company knitted cap.
In models of children's knitted hats Deux par Deux and Molo glasses are present only in the form of a bright pattern, imitating the equipment of a skier.
Fashionable Images
An interest in the theme of military retro was initiated by Jean-Paul Gaultier, in the fall-winter 2009 collection. Inspired by the legendary aviator Amelia Erhart, the classic of French fashion demonstrates a wonderful combination of crocodile bomber jackets and suede, pencil skirts, suede boots that fit the leg and Helmets "Aviator".
In a noble combination of black, gray, and chocolate brown, the image of a self-confident modern woman is born. Helmets with glasses, made of leather and suede, are just the part that, like the cherry on the cake, completes the costume composition, gives the image integrity, creates harmony.
In the autumn-winter 2010-2011 collection, Burberry continues the aviation theme and demonstrates pilot's jackets, watches, leather boots above the knees, bags with metal fittings.
In the same year, Michael Kors showed an interest in military style. It represents shabby leather jackets and coats, massive leather bags intercepted by stylish thin cognac-colored straps.
The Givenchy fall / winter show is decorated with black leather aviator jackets, complete with a skinny black dress, or skirt of reptile leather or velvet. Classical high-heeled shoes complete the ensemble.
Each of the above images could be successfully supplemented with a pilot's cap, but in its original form, it appears on the podium again only in 2012. It was then that Yohji Yamamoto presents its militarist collection spring-summer 2013 at Paris Fashion Week. Unisex and asymmetry - this is the credo of the leading brand designer. The khaki sets in combination with the Aviator cap create free, relaxed images. Nice straight trousers with pleats at the waist, slightly tucked underneath, with various options for a light jacket and boots with high lacing.
In the new season 2016 - 2017 military style does not lose positions.
Raincoats and sheepskin coats in Aviator style alternate the procession of hussar images in the men's collection autumn-winter 2016-2017, presented in Paris by Olivier Rusten, the creative director of Balmain.
There, in Paris, Christian Dior shocks the public with suede bombers lowered from the shoulders of models.
