This interesting book follows the turban on an epic journey from the Arabian Peninsula through the Ottoman Empire to Europe and the Americas. Along the way it explores traditional and religious uses, international trade and diplomacy, Renaissance paintings (Rembrandt was a fan), 18th-century masquerades, Hollywood glamour and modern fashion, right up to Sarah Jessica Parker in a gold silk wrap by Ralph Lauren. It also celebrates the turban’s continuing importance today, from the distinctive headwraps of Sikh men to its place in Black culture across Africa, the Caribbean and beyond.

Lively, colourful and full of surprising stories, it’s a must for anyone who loves fashion, art or cultural history.
