Urban Turban

Year: 2018

Material: Pleated silk, hand-sewn

The turban is a head covering with a global history – worn across cultures as a sign of dignity, faith, belonging, or style.

This version in hand-pleated silk is conceived as a fashion homage: sewn rather than tied, easy to wear – even in everyday life. It gestures toward past times and other traditions without imitating them.

The turban has many faces – worn by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and Greta Garbo, by Joséphine de Beauharnais and Nina Simone. In this interpretation, it becomes a contemporary piece: confident, functional, and ornamental all at once.

A textile object poised between memory, elegance, and practical beauty.
