Poke Bonnet.
A friend sent me this image over the weekend.. Before doing my research, I truly believed this could have been some sort of genuine 'courting' device.
Disappointingly, it's not.
'The poke bonnet was fashionable at the beginning of the 19th century, and consisted of a small crown and wide brim to shade the face. From 1830 through to the 1840s, the shape of the brim became more tubular in shape and increased in size until the wearers face was only visible from directly in front.'
The image above is a French satire print on the poke bonnet in the 1810's; 'Les Invisibles en Tete-a-Tete'. The bonnets were called 'invisibles' in France because the face of the wearer was virtually concealed except from the front.
I believe the poke bonnet could have a revival.

Twins are the best models for my conjoined balaclava.
Friday was the last day of the AA2A Welcome show at Artspacefour, so what a better way to meet the students, try on headgear and have tea and cake! It was great to see lots of people getting involved and wearing the balaclavas. This was also a great opportunity to test run a NEW PROTOTYPE BALACLAVA.
I have been back in the textile studio this week, designing and creating individual balaclavas which can be attached/detached from one another. I have been thinking about ways to make the experience more inviting for the public to get involved before jumping, er..., head on into it...
It still had an awkwardness to it, but people were less reluctant to take part. I believe this will be an interesting prop to work with; watch this space for more experiments.
During the Welcome show, I received images from participators who interacted with the pop-up balaclava installation. Here are some of the images from the duration of the show.
