Gainsborough hat. Paintings have inspired a number of fashions, but no artist has been more influential than English portrait painter and landscapist Thomas Gainsborough in this regard. The Gainsborough is a wide-brimmed, large hat, turned up at the side, similar to those included in many of his por- traits. Gainsborough (1727–88) did not invent the plumed vel- vet or taffeta hat, but painted it so well that it has been revived several times by designers, as have a number of the gracious fashions he depicted. |
