Who was John Frederics?

This millinery label was a partnership of John Pico Harberger (a/k/a “John Pico John” or “Mr. John”) and Frederic Hirst. The Coty awards gave John Frederics a special award for millinery in 1943. When John Pico and Frederic Hirst dissolved their partnership in 1948,  John Pico formed the Mr. John label and Frederic Hirst kept the John-Frederics label .  Healso designed hats as “Mr. Fred.” 

After the split, Hirst did not fare as well as Mr. John. John-Frederics was mentioned and/or advertised in fashion magazines in the 1920s through the 1950s. John Frederics Charmer hats were advertised in 1950s magazines after Mr. John left the label. Labels include: John Frederics Made to Order, John Frederics, John Frederics Charmer (less expensive line), “Sweet Young Things” “Miss Frederics.”   Hatatorium, An Essential Guide for Hat Collectors, 2nd Edition
