Love turbans? They are great to pull out and wear this holiday season — not only glamorous, but who needs to worry about “hat hair” in cold weather when your turban stays on at the party? Right now, there’s a sale on Norma Kamali turbans: Buy one at $65, or get two for $115.
Of course, I’m partial to the gold lamé? How about you?
Designer Norma Kamali Turbans
There is an episode of PBS American Experiences about First Lady Dolley Madison. She brought a lot of French fashions to the new nation and LOVED turbans. The episode is a dramatization of a first person interview/conversation, but most of the dialogue comes from Dolley’s letters, as she was a prolific letter writer her whole life.
–the episode is available on both Netflix and Hulu. I am not affiliated with the program or either streaming company.
I just thought of this unique profile on Dolley and all the gorgeous turbans she wore. They really give a better idea of the range of turban styles–I think a lot of people think of either Carmen Miranda (the Latin dancer/actor who sashayed around with a fruit filled turban and was immortalized in Bugs Bunny cartoons) or Ghandi when they think of turbans.
