While Prada resurrected the turban from fashion obscurity with a particularly riveting SS07
collection, after a short absence the centuries-old accessory is back. Vogue Editor-at-Large Andre Leon Talley went through a turban-
phase last summer. Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs included a handful of silk varieties on his namesake runway at New York Fashion Week this spring. And, with the help of milliner Stephen Jones, model Kate Moss crafted her own
gold version, which she wore earlier this month to Vogue’s annual Costume Gala at the Metropolitan Museum. But perhaps some credit for the turban’s recent return to the sartorial spotlight is owed to
Edie Beale. After all, the iconic relative of Jackie O who was first canonized in the Maysles' unforgettable documentary
Grey Gardens and subsequent Broadway show and HBO drama, was perfecting the head-wrap long before Miuccia entered onto the scene.
