November 25 is traditionally a festive day for 25-year-old, virgin and husbandless women!
It is also the occasion to decorate the Holy Catherine. If this festival has, over the years, fallen into disuse, the custom persists in the fashion trades where the little hands continue to make hats more extravagant than each other.
The Montaigne Committee is inspired by its heritage and revives this tradition of Parisian fashion. If 25 year old girls «Always » singles were pointed at one time, it is now full of pride that a hundred of them march on the steps of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
Chanel, Dior, Nina Ricci, Fouquet, Louis Vuitton, Maison Blanche... the most beautiful Houses of the Montaigne Committee compete with know-how and creativity to realize their famous hats composed of green, for hope and knowledge, and yellow for faith. A jury composed of members of the Montaigne Committee, personalities and journalists elects the most beautiful hats.
