A former Mexican President had lived in Paris and his entourage imported the fashion statement to Mexico.
There is a French connection here, where the upper-class Mexican women imitated the Parisian women by wearing these hats. José Guadalupe Posada who is the author and creator was a satirical cartoonist from the 19th century and he designed it as a parody of an upper-class Mexican female who wore fancy hats. The most famous of all the calaveras– La Calavera Catrina (“The Elegant Skull”).
