From the Victoria and Albert Museum: "See the Surrealist Glove Hat created by British artist Eileen Agar — a striking work that blurs the boundaries between art, fashion and wearable sculpture. Inspired by legendary fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, Agar transformed an ordinary straw hat using leather gloves and an ammonite fossil brooch, creating one of the most unusual objects associated with British Surrealist fashion."

Get closer than ever before and see how padding, zips, and quilting have been used to construct such an elegant yet surreal garment."
