Aage Thaarup
Aage Thaarup (1906–1987) was a Danish-born Millinery, milliner who ran a celebrated hatmaking business in London between the 1930s and 1970s. Among his notable clients were the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Queen Mother and Elizabeth II, Queen – for whom he designed the bearskin Tricorne hat, tricorn worn at the annual Trooping the Colour parade. When this famous hat was displayed at an exhibition in 2003, Suzy Menkes said in ''The New York Times'': "There is a particular combination of madness and dignity to the dashing tricorn that Aage Thaarup created". There was certainly an eccentric element to many of Thaarup's hats – he once created a design modelled on the Royal Albert Hall for a British Pathé news feature – but this was underpinned by hat design skills garnered from a long apprenticeship in Copenhagen, Delhi, Paris and Berlin. During a more than 40-year career, he was beset by financial difficulties on more than one occasion and still retained a loyal custo ...

Leo Mathisen
Leo "The Lion" Mathisen (10 October 1906 – 16 December 1969) was a Danish jazz pianist, composer, arranger, singer and bandleader. He was a leading figure of the thriving Danish scene during the years around World War II—a period which has been labelled the Golden Age of Danish Jazz—and he is considered to be one of the most significant and original jazz musicians of his day. Mathisen's main source of inspiration was Fats Waller, both his piano play and his singing, but the later years of his career saw some bebop influence. His most famous tracks are "Take It Easy" and "To Be or Not to Be". His nickname is a reference to his first name as well as MGM's mascot Leo the Lion. He is also remembered for his characteristic appearance with his flat, centrally parted hair, his thin moustache and, most notably, his fondness of large cigars. Biography Early life and career Leo Mathisen was born in Copenhagen in 1906. He worked in a record shop, listened to records and tr ...
