The head scarf has been done a million different ways over the years, but these are some of the most iconic images. Whatever happened to that 40’s movie star style?

Catwalk Copy

Not for the first or last time fashion borrowed from the past, this time with vintage head scarves. D&G went for the classic Grace Kelly look for their fall 2008 collection.

Headscarves and hats

The lovely Greta Garbo was somewhat synonymous with hats, I particularly love the turban style (left) it’s kind of similar to the bonnet style hijab I made see Hijabis in Hats. So just what happens when you cross these two chic Garbo styles?

Well, this is the best I could come up with… It actually kind of works.
