Queen of hats

Mme Schakie was born in Paris into excentric and bohemian circles. She qualified as a modiste, a milliner, and created a niche for herself with her exclusive, hand-made paper hats which she makes for the big cabarets and hotels abroad. We watch how the hats are made in the rather humble workshops and how the collection is shown at the best hotels in London and the apotheosis - New Year's eve!
