1978. This hat chignon, inspired by a Pillbox Hat, is as inspirational today as it was way back then. The veil, a hot new trend in 2015, with hair or a hat, was added for drop dead chic. Antonio da Costa Rocha invented this no-pins original chignon using a mistake-proof satin pad. How to do it and more hat chignons, click along in this album, click here

From the 1978 Hat Chignon Collection, this stunning and original hair idea by the one and only Antonio da Costa Rocha of La Coupe was inspired by Pillbox Hats. Here’s a unique hair idea for all of you, just in time for the Holidays. It was created on very long, all-one-length hair – with no pins. The chignon innovator shows how it was done and you can see other versions, by clicking here:
