"A Century of Hats…Former Hollywood Designer Shares Chapeau Chic"
Christensen has a mission to place a hat on the head of every woman. From her Lake Mills studio, she travels the country hosting millinery teas and preaching the power of a well-placed chapeau.

". . . hundreds of hats representing the eras of the last century. . . Edwardian basket hats, cloches of the roaring twenties, whimsical straw hats of the Depression, the 1950's brought the Christian Dior dish hat, to Jackie Kennedy popularizing the pillbox in the 1960's. . ."
Assoc. Press 2003
