When Prada re-introduced the world to turbans
in the labels' SS 2007 collection it was indeed a statement.
“Turbans traditionally represent power and beauty and once epiomized glamour in Hollywood."
While yes, turbans and head-wraps existed before its induction
into the fashion strata commenced when Miuccia Prada's army of models
paraded them down the runway.
And this 2011, the trend continues to spread
like wildfire on the streets and runways.
creeping into the hearts and closets of the fashion savvy.
Not only are they a “bad hair” saviour
but a turban is the ultimate symbol of chic and hollywood glamour.
Classic Hollywood, circa the 1950s
couldn't get get enough of them.
The biggest difference between this trend between now and then?
The diversity of its wearers
Today, our icons couldn't be more diverse,
rightfully so since this trend is a cultural token for men and women
often made from
silk, satin with rich colors and festooned with some bauble
this accessory is best suited for the summer and for that resort like lifestyle.
In appropriate fabrics, it can be used in the winter as well.
