Four years ago I posted a collage of head wraps and scarves and since then I realized I have an obsession with images featuring woman in elaborate head adornment. I've done several posts with head wraps (see here, here and here) and even did a little doodled illustrations creating elaborate versions of my own.
Right now it's a fashion trend that has been revisited and brewing for the last few years but I know my love for this look has a lot to do with my mother who frequently rocked a head wrap in the summer when I was little. Every time I see designer collections or ad campaigns showcasing the hot accessory I think of the above picture and those hot days at the local pool.
Check out these head-wrap/turban looks from UO, The Future of Frances and Malene Birger.
