The Traditions Of Yesterday Meet The Vision Of Today In A Missoni Turban

By Jennie Sandoval


Historically, turban head-wear began in the sixth century as a definitive statement denoting cultural religious affiliation or social status. Commonly worn by women from the West Indies and of middle-eastern descent, the Missoni turban has revolutionized the torque's renaissance as an iconic, fashion-forward expression of today's modern independent woman.

Sharing the notoriety of the iconic French beret, today's turban blends the exotic reputation of the past with a new visual spin of vibrant colors and uniquely distinctive patterns that renders a revitalized rendezvous in creativity. While myriads of new fashion concepts leave the runway to end in a blaze of obscurity, the Missoni name allocates a classic ethnic-chic quality to its line of head-wear.

Italian heritage inspired the couture creativity ascribed to the Missoni fashion house started in 1953 by the family design team. A reputation for innovative colors, patterns and fabrics defines their longstanding, easily recognized, extraordinary knitwear line. Abstract wearable art classifies their infamous patterned inspirations coloring fabrics in wools, cottons, linens, and silks in demand by a cult of celebrity personalities.

Never a follower, the brand leader continues to be a trendsetter with an element of surprise in elevating old classics to renewed star power. The rejuvenated toque is head-wear that weaves a limitless spectrum of the color kaleidoscope and dynamic patterns for today's fresh spin on yesterday's classic. A new vision makes for a powerful fashion statement that covers the bases from casual to formal wear.

From the realm of an ancient head-covering, coveted crochet-knits elevate modern to a new standard for free-thinking women. Beach chic defines casual couture that keeps the hair off the face while highlighting the beauty of facial bone-structure. A cornucopia of colors insures an unforgettable look that stands out in the crowd.

Spanning the globe of diverse, personal style, turbaned wear is designed to suit a preference for the dramatic, worldly, blaze' or eclectic. Collections honor traditional headbands or 'tied in the back' with tails in keeping with the designers trademark distinctions in a myriad of colors and patterns. The innovations of today melds with the classic past in versatility that offers stylized renditions that completely cover the hair to headbands that suit free flowing manes.

In the best and worst of times, the fashion world realizes that clothes exist for more than covering the body, and as more an expression of the inward spirit. Today, there is a stylized work of art in each unique turbaned headpiece to suit the personality of every independent spirit.

Successful fashion designers understand the driving force within the human psyche that links clothing with the need to express individuality. The catwalks continue to ply apparel that is unique, aesthetically interesting and anything but a carbon copy. The design of Missoni's uniquely beautiful turbans satisfies the quest for a look that personifies a distinctly personal vision of today's diverse, fiercely independence woman.

Uniqueness give a woman that special quality of beauty, her edge. Whether the woman projects an attitude of casual elegance, a flair for the dramatic, a blithe spirit or artistic quirky charm, a Missoni turban was designed with individuality in mind. Center stage is where 'that girl' stands apart from the ordinary. Turning heads is good for the ego.
