About the Item
This beautiful hat was designed by the late Frank Olive for Neiman Marcus. His hats were collected by the rich and famous all over the world. This hat came from the closet of a well known Palm Springs Socialite and philanthropist. It’s a menswear inspired hat done in a beautiful gold metallic.
Frank Olive must have been a delight. "A hat is basically a prop", he says. "It gives you a moment of joy, mystery, fantasy". He derived much excitement from providing this sort of millinery magic, in a scene he describes with great satisfaction -
With this joie de vivre, Frank Olive connected with women on a very personal level. He understood innately their needs in fashion, and in particular in millinery. He just seemed to know.
Frank Olive was born a twin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1929. As a child, Frank created costumes and sets at home after watching movies in the theater. It was a pleasure from the beginning.
He came to New York to create for the theater, likely in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Designers Norman Norell and Adri, also Midwesterners, became interested in his work and his life, and their support prompted Frank to begin designing hats. He had the knack, and with time, business was flourishing. Then in 1971 his twin died. In mourning, he plunged into millinery work for comfort and escape. In the same year he moved from a tiny boutique he'd originally opened in the early 1950s (La Boutique) to Frank Olive's World, a larger establishment on the West Side that also sold dresses.
Frank Olive hats were often inspired by men's wear with confidently feminine details. They tended to have clean, chic lines and simple details in the best of materials.
Frank Olive hats were sold at I. Magnin, Neiman-Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bonwit Teller. He also collaborated with or designed for Lillie Rubin, Oscar de la Renta and Pauline Trigere. At the time of his death in 1995, Frank Olive's company was still active and exhibited just as much exuberance as ever.
