A year after R. Turner Wilcox received rave reviews for her ultimate fashion reference, The Mode in Costume, she decided to zero in on one chic category to give it the close-up it deserved. The result is this extraordinary handbook that covers the worldwide evolution of almost five thousand years of hats, hairstyles, and headdress for both sexes. Since ancient times, men and women have used hats and headgear for everything from adornment and protection to establishing their rank in society. With hundreds of illustrations and fascinating text, this comprehensive survey extends from 3000 B.C. to mid-twentieth century.
The showcase depicts an astonishing range of women's styles -- Egyptian headdresses, Spanish mantillas, French straw sailor hats, buckle-trimmed tam-o-shanters, wedding veils, bonnets, snoods, and jeweled crowns. Men's headwear includes feather-trimmed turbans, soldiers' helmets, cowboy hats and top hats, derbies and boaters, berets, sombreros, and Homburgs. Hairstyles run the gamut as well: ringlets, topknots, and spit curls, ponytails, pageboys, and poodle cuts, as well as pompadours, mutton chops, and crew cuts. With delightful details on jewelry, cosmetics, and beauty treatments, this is a unique reference that fashion designers, stylists, and historians will treasure.

Sturdy and Easy to Move
Color: Black, Size: 132"- 6 Panel
This 6 ft black partition on wheels is exactly what I needed to divide space without sacrificing style or stability. It’s sleek, professional-looking, and blends in well with any environment—from office spaces to home studios. The build quality is impressive—very sturdy and doesn’t wobble at all once it’s in place. The wheels glide smoothly and lock securely, making it easy to reposition or keep stationary as needed. Assembly was quick and straightforward, with all parts clearly labeled. Overall, this partition is a perfect combination of functionality and design. Highly recommend it if you need a durable, mobile room divider that looks great and performs even better.

Nice once put together.
Color: Black, Size: 88"- 4 Panel
I really enjoyed these ones. They got put up, putting them together was a two-man task and not very easy at all. They work really good. They're very heavy duty. You can hang things on them. I kick mine out of the way and they work like a charm!

Very useful

I’ve been using this room divider to separate my space from my daughter’s, and it has worked out really well. It provides just the right amount of privacy while still keeping the room feeling open and comfortable. The design is simple yet stylish, so it blends nicely with our decor. It’s also lightweight and easy to move when needed, which is a big plus. The material feels durable and well-made, not flimsy at all. Overall, it’s a practical and attractive solution for shared spaces, and I’m very happy with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it to others.

This product is a great room divider that decent quality and worth the price tag. The look is sleek and fits seamlessly into any room without complaint. The assembly was easy to follow and the quality is long lasting. Not only that, I need it as my sons share a room and we’re looking for some privacy. The divider is able to extend across a decently large area really divide the room as it has 4 panels. Overall, this is a great product for its cost and if your looking for a room divider that’s not too costly, this is the pick.

Great for creating a workspace
Color: Grey
I needed a room divider that could be easily folded for storing to put behind my chair during my work calls. This works perfectly! Was very easy to put together. Lightweight but sturdy enough that it won’t fall over.
