Turban + Menswear: Will we see it on the streets?

I usually don't cover menswear but it was hard to escape Jean Paul Gaultier's latest SS2013 collection. The Indian-inspired collection made me think: would men (in particular non-Indians) wear Turbans as a fashion item? I, personally, would love to see it but it's going to take some rather metro, fashion-forward trendsetters (in NYC perhaps?) to set this off on the streets.  Then again, if men dress for women then we might be seeing it soon because the Turban is looking rather sexy.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 featured Turbans for men.

BBA 2012 Picks: Menswear

So it appears the Indian theme for 2012 has found its way to menswear. I often get asked why I don't do menswear for Haute Trotter. The truth is, I have yet to understand men so I have to wonder how I could ever begin to understand their fashion! lol. While women dress for other women, men dress for... women. Or at least the straight ones seem to. And women I understand! So, my best advice for any man trying to impress a women with fashion? Go for a name brand that resonates - like Dolce & Gabbana. Even if it is hideous, wear it and tell her it's D&G and watch her face transform. She'll be on you like a fat kid on cake.

Here are some of the looks I love from Dolce & Gabbana:

The other designer who went further with the Indian theme was Frankie Morello. Apparently he used his show to take a spiritual journey through the Himalayas. Neither the model nor the clothes were worth talking about but here's some pics anyway:
