Edward Mann was a London-based hatmaker and milliner popular in the second half of the 20th century.
While Mann was working as a milliner in the 1950s,[1][2] he became particularly known for his creative 1960s designs, such as designs with incorporated pockets and lace baby-bonnet-style caps.[3][4] In 1967 he produced a collection inspired by the Common Market, which was shown in Germany as well as in London, and presented on models from across Europe.[5] He was also the designer of the hats worn by Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in the 1960s TV series The Avengers.[6] This led to Mann becoming, briefly, one of the most desirable milliners in London at that time.[7] In 1967, one of Mann's hats was chosen by Felicity Green of The Daily Mirror as part of her Dress of the Year selection for the Fashion Museum, Bath.[8] The hat was made to match an orange and pink striped trouser suit by David Bond for Slimma.[8] In the mid-1970s Edward Mann owned a clothing brand called Buckle Under.[9] By 1982, the Edward Mann company operated as a concessionary brand, selling its hats through eighteen department stores and other retailers, rather than having their own shops.[10]
