Life
The hat maker , daughter of a master baker from St. Pölten , had her heyday in the 1940s and 1950s. She worked closely with the fashion designer Gertrud Höchsmann , with whom she organized fashion shows, and was considered to be extremely quality-conscious and "strict", also with her customers. Adele List liked to experiment with material that she alienated. She often formed a hat directly on the customer's head from wet material, exactly to match the face. Her studio was on the corner of Kärntner Strasse and Krugerstrasse in downtown Vienna. As early as the 1930s, List was also working for large German fashion houses and exporting their hat models to Belgium and Turkey. She was buried at the Döblinger Friedhof .
