KENNETH HOPKINS - 1940s Pink Velvet Turban and Gloves Set

A glamorous statement ensemble by renowned milliner Kenneth Hopkins, this dramatic 1940s set pairs a sculptural blush pink velvet turban with matching gloves featuring oversized velvet cuffs. The towering turban is masterfully draped and gathered into an extravagant bow-like silhouette, centered with a striking faceted gold-tone metal embellishment that serves as the focal point of the design. The coordinating gloves are finished with voluminous velvet ruffles, creating a beautifully theatrical look that embodies the elegance and sophistication of 1940s fashion. Adding to its exceptional provenance, this remarkable set comes from the estate of Joan Castle Joseff, wife of Eugene Joseff, founder of the legendary Joseff of Hollywood jewelry company, whose creations adorned countless Hollywood stars during the Golden Age of cinema. A museum-worthy ensemble of outstanding rarity, this is an extraordinary acquisition for collectors of important vintage fashion and Hollywood history.
