Turbans gained their fashion status in the late 1920's as a sign of wealth and the means to travel to exotic far away lands. Into the 1960's they came back as a regal accessory (see Elizabeth Taylor). By the mid 70's the IT girls of the era wore with hair loose and straight underneath, setting the precedent for a Bohemian luxe (see Barbra Streisand) which is seeing a resurgence now.

2014 is a year of looking back for inspiration and creating an eclectic mix of the old and the new. Bringing old trends up to date can include textures, materials, colours, styling and bold make-up (see Oriana Layendecker for Make-up Artist Magazine and Damian Foxe for How to Spend It ).
