The death knell for the turban trend has sounded.
Funny, since Vogue has engaged in full-on turban mania for the past few months. Remember the photo of Sasha in a turban, followed by Rachel Roy and Liz Goldwyn as her disciples? Try to forget it – the magazine has officially MOVED ON.
You may not have thought it was possible, but they’ve found a trend to hype that could be even weirder:
The babushka.
As in, that thing your Russian grandmother wore on her head that looked like an oversize napkin. Or the one you wore in the chorus of your 10th grade production of Fiddler on the Roof. Now it’s on the runway.
Will this trend have more legs than the turban?
We’re thinking possibly:
Maybe the babushkas will be adopted by stylish Muslim women, who could re-drape them as hijabs.
Or maybe we’ll be reaching for one on a really bad hair day.
