Pillbox hat
The Hollywood costume designer Adrian helped to popularise the pillbox with a version he created for Greta Garbo in the movie As You Desire Me (1932). It remained in fashion into and throughout the 1940s. This photograph of a Milne & Choyce labelled pillbox hat was taken by Clifton Firth. He was embracing American Hollywood glamour in his portrait work around this time.
