This is most definitely not a look that the masses can pull off; even though H&M has probably already gone into pre-production for their Spring 2011 collection. Call me old school but something about accessorizing with a turban just doesn't quite fit in to my morning routine: stilettos, check, massive hoop earrings, definite check, turban.... check? I'm just waiting for the day that these are in a Forever 21 sale bin with a $3.99 price tag, available in various fabrics and maybe even sequins (ooooh sequined turban, I can't lie, the thought of this is enchanting).
After that thought it's official, my appreciation for artistic fashion makes this is an "Ahh". If you disagree you can blame Prada for bringing this back on the catwalk in 2007; see how long runway-to-retail takes? But for the love of god only on runways and on the craniums of seasoned fashion vets. So no Dad, before you think that wrapping an old brewery tee-shirt around your head is considered fashionable, I beg of you to think again.
These pictures are proof that this trend could go both ways:
Yes, this outfit is dope
Get it girl, Solange definitely won the turban battle against her sister
How cute is she? The urban turban works well when the outfit is casual
Come on Bey, from one big-headed girl to another, this trend is NOT for us
And Selma, ummm NO, just no
Wow, I am NOT feelin this one, but can see it has promise for some. Definately takes a small, somewhat exotic shaped head and a flare for subtle, yet equisite style -- a t-rag on your dad is a NO GO, although now that I think about it he might have tried this look while fishing...
ReplyDeleteIf there are pictures of D.J. with a t-shirt wrapped a round his head, I want a copy for Christmas! Maybe I can use this some how to avoid the high cost of a Halloween costume.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a man and it's not part of your religion or cultural heritage, you ain't got no business with one of these things on! Homie looks too affected. And yeah, Solange finally outdid her sis in one thing at least.
