Teal Silk Dupioni Draped Turban Headwrap

1990s · 1990s · African American

A luxurious turban constructed from lustrous silk dupioni in a rich teal-turquoise shade. The fabric is artfully wrapped and twisted into voluminous folds that create dramatic height and sculptural dimension. The silk's natural slub texture catches light across the draped surfaces, emphasizing the complex geometry of the wrapping technique. The turban sits close to the hairline with fabric gathered and twisted upward, forming cascading pleats that spiral around the crown. This sophisticated headwrap represents the intersection of traditional African diaspora head-wrapping techniques with 1990s high fashion aesthetics, when cultural identity became increasingly celebrated in mainstream fashion.
