Knotted Turban Editorials

The Daria Werbowy Vogue Nippon Cover Shoot

The Daria Werbowy Vogue Nippon cover shoot for April’s issue has the beautiful model’s head garbed in a twisted, heavily knotted turban against the backdrop of the tempestuous sea. Photographer Mikael Jansson captures the model as she embodies a modernized water goddess while balancing the heavy and complicated turban on her head.

These knotted turbans almost steal the show, as Daria Werbowy has different variations of the headgear throughout the shoot. Does this mean that this spring we should throw away our sun hats for these eye-catching turbans?
