Erté’s ‘Der Rosenkavalier’ Shako

April 2019

The shako for the Erté ensemble has been created using buckram as a base, with black melton steamed to shape above it. The crown and peak are made of black leather and is lined with a simple black cotton.

The details are 3D printed (either using a 3D printer or a 3D printing pen). The braid is a typically used military braid that I created using the same braid as the frogging and painted to match the bronze details.
