• Turn Back Thursday: Kanye Wearing Bandana

In Turn Back Thursday #3 I discussed the emergence of the all-over print hoodie that took the fashion industry by storm in 2006/2007. Another staple that complemented the all-over print trend during those 2 years was the bandana. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Pharrell was the one that started the entire trend and made it “cool”  to rock one as part of your daily outfit. Even Kanye West caught on and started wearing a variety of multi-colored bandanas. Whether it was a Louis Vuitton rag or some vintage thrift store-inspired find (most likely the former), Kanye wore the bandana with much swag at shows, music videos, magazine photoshoots, and random public appearances. Here’s a photo from 2006 of Kanye rocking a teal/orange bandana at the Karmaloop flagship store in Boston. Speaking of Louis rags, check Don C on the right with the Murakami LV print.

How many of you rocked bandanas back then? Leave a comment and let me know!
