![Wikipedia entry on Fedora history
▲ History
The term fedora was in use as early as 1891. As a homburg style in the shape of a Panama Hat, its popularity soared, and eventually it eclipsed the homborg. [2] The word fedora comes from the title of an 1882 play by dramatist Victorien Sardou, Fédora, which was written for Sarah Bernhardt. [10]
The play was first performed in the United States in 1889. Bernhardt played Princess Fédora Romazoff, the heroine of the play. During the play, Bernhardt-a noted cross-dresser-wore a center-creased, soft brimmed hat. The hat was fashionable for women, and the women's rights movement adopted it as a symbol.
