The Men’s Fashion of La Boheme from the Costume Shop

August 30th, 2010 by Sara M. K. Neal

As promised, here’s some of the men’s fashion from La Bohème. During the 30’s almost all the men would be wearing hats, so here are some of the assorted styles the men of the chorus will be wearing:

And here is the hat of the toy vendor, Parpignol, show off by our milliner, Carmen.

Although the hat looks finished from this view, Carmen explained that she still have to make the lining for the cap, but she’s waiting for the actor to coming in for the costume fitting. Then she can make any changes to the cap’s size, then finish the lining!
