Trend hunter- Bandana Print
As we all know (and remember) bandanas have been around since we were born. But as most of fashion trends, even a silly looking bandana scarf has its history. To me bandanas were/are in a way some kind of symbol of the Western world and have a strong association with American culture.
Some say that Bandanas came to the Americas with pirates who came to the Caribbean sea to plunder gold filled Spanish galleons. Later the bandana came with the British colonists and the Red Coats and stayed in America ever since. Even the Native Americans wore bandanas on their necks and as bandanas were often exchanged as gifts or traded with the American Indians. And don’t forget the robbers too, who used their often black bandanas to cover their faces during a robbery (good to know:)! But not straight away bandanas became a fashionable and stylish accessory. There are opinions out there saying that bandanas were introduced to the wider public since Hollywood started making movies known as ''westerns'', in which the scarf was an inseparable attribute of cowboys, Indians, Zorro and other bad asses.
The second source of mine says that Bandanas were first seen on androgynous women in the 60s fighting for equal right. Fast forward to the 80s bandanas became a cultural lifestyle amongst young men. Tupac, Snoop Dog, and even the beautiful Aaliyah just to name a few, followed this trend by putting their own individual twist.
Whichever story is true, the fact is that banadans are definitely on a hot spot and I'm seriously considering getting some stuff ala Zorro :P. Take a look and face it: Bandana is a hot s*#/!
