Kitchen Hats (1959)

South Molton Street, London. Madge Chard has a whacky range of hats inspired by her kitchen. Designer Madge Chard is seen in her typical 1950’s kitchen, including lovely gaudy print curtains, a sink area with white tiles and plenty of pipes showing. She is wearing a brightly coloured print shirt and is drying up a colander and looking at it. She takes it into her living area and places it upside down on a wine bottle. She starts to sketch it. C/U shot of her dog, sitting next to her. M/S of a model looking into a mirror and trying a spotted colander hat. She is debutante, Deirdre Newton-Woof. She uses a hand mirror to view the back version of the hat. M/S steaming kettle on hot plate, pan to shot of a model , Madeleine Hobbs, wearing a bright yellow kettle shaped hat - don’t get steamed up - it’s made of papier mache. Back to Madge, sitting on her sofa looking at a plunger, with a pan across to see another model, Christine Harris, wearing a white feathered plunger shaped hat, decorated with sequins.
