African Headwraps

Originally the head-wrap, or turban, was worn by both enslaved men and women. In time, however, it became almost exclusively a female accessory. However, it is believed that African cultures used head wraps before the days of slavery so that men could show off their wealth and the level of their social status and so that women could prove that they were prosperous and spiritual.


In this age, the whole world wears headwraps; they are a great fashion statement & fashionable trend.
I love African head wraps, I truly think they are very beautiful and the vibrant colours make me smile; the colourful wraps also kept a person eyes to the face of a woman J

Be happy, do the best you can, be good and kind. x

    Headwraps more than a fashion statement, they are a culture, an identity, a history

    Designers tend to go back to Cultures when they run out of inspiration. Education through Fashion is stimulating.
