Vintage Christian Dior Black Silk Satin Turban hat
Turban style hats have been incorporated into western fashion since British aesthetes began questioning restrictive dress during the 19th century. During the mid-20th century, everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Audrey Hepburn wore variations on this theme. This early 1960s-era turban from Christian Dior was likely worn with a posh skirt suit and arched eyebrows. Made from a black silk satin, the hat’s controlled ruching and wrapping is kept tidily intact with hand stitching. A pliable but well-formed crown fits over a wide range of hair styles including smart up-do’s and close crops.
