Headscarves have many histories and meanings. They can be worn for fashion, practicality, cultural tradition or religious observance, and those contexts should not be treated as interchangeable.
We all come with different cultural references, traditions, and opinions. At ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ we love a silk headscarf for two reasons:
1) there is no better way to protect the hair with stylish elegance wherever women live and whatever their religious beliefs are.
2) It’s a great opportunity to display our stunning scarves designs
Headscarves have also appeared repeatedly in twentieth-century fashion imagery, including looks associated with Queen Elizabeth II, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. When this article was first published, headscarves were again receiving fashion attention for the 2013–2014 season.
The archive photographs above show several ways a square silk scarf can frame the face and complement an outfit.
