Some historical context for the custom Jacquemus look Zendaya wore to “The Odyssey” red carpet. Head scarves were enforced through Tignon Law because insecure, hating ass, white bitches tried to decimate black beauty. People have SO much to say about our hair, but we’re pulling and our aesthetic is copied (read Women’s History: Madam C.J Walker). Do note black women with 4c hair can achieve any coif with a product, but the other textures cannot. Perms can make our hair the extreme opposite, but can only go so far in accomplishing the curls/coil range. Stay pressed.
We’re here to serve looks. The headscarves we were forced to wear are now must have accessories. We made it so major turbans evolved into a statement of extreme glamour and leisure. Every bad bitch on the original “Dynasty” donned it. You’re welcome, as usual. Zendaya rocking a head scarf on the red carpet is a nod to the ancestors. Brilliant work from Law Roach. This is art. This is intellect. This is what fashion and style are suppose to be. Bravo. Via: Vogue & BlackHistoryUnlocked
