Apparently, while I've had my nose in the books for school, I failed to notice that Prada came out with the most ridiculous accessory for spring.... the female turban. This is a scary, scary thing and here's why. Muiccia Prada is considered the fashion leader when it comes to new trends. When she does something, others will follow. Please. Someone stop her!
Just look at Style.com (where these pictures are from) to see a whole runway of turbans from Prada. I look at this and I think Aunt Jemima? WTF? My head would look like a bowling ball with this on, what with my big cheeks.
This reminds me of another terrible idea: the horrid Balenciaga riding hat from Fall 2006. Woof!What do you guys think? Would you wear either of these looks?

LOL!!!! You said it all.
i would wear both and actually own the helmet.
i love those turbans. i also love the headbands with the knot in the front. and the helmet is awesome. prada's ultimate in everything. you just haven't realized it yet.
I too thought I would look terrible in a turban due to a distinct lack of cheek-bone. But I tried one on (a faux-Prada from the Kylie collection at H&M) and they're actually quite cute and surprisingly forgiving. Just be sure to have your hair showing, else they tend to look like swim caps. I don't know that I'd splurge on a real one; seems to me a silk scarf does just as well, and provide more variety.
I think turbans are great if they're worn with the right clothes. They don't look good if you're looking very... fashiony (ie trying too hard). I think they're better with jeans or a really loose long vintage maxi-dress. In simple colours like cream, white, beige, pastel blue.
Would you like to link swap with my blog, International Style and Fashion? http://international-style-and-fashion.blogspot.com
Thanks! I-S-F
i saw a girl walk past me in camden with a maxi flowery vintage dress, flats, big bag and a turban and she looked stunning
i don't see why it would look that ridicolous

I adore these turbans. I love scarves and headbands and hats, and the like. I don't, however, like those riding helmets.
Love this site. You gotta check out this site I found. I saved at least 80 bucks.
