The bandana's back: Paris catwalk show brings back the 1970s

Paris

ON the Paris catwalk on Monday, a reappearance of bandanas - those paisley kerchiefs that were hot back in the 1970s, remember? - proved the lesson that old can become trendy again if you just wait long enough.

Japanese brand Sacai dusted off the accessory and updated it for its Spring/Summer collection, tying it around models' necks to complete layered outfits that were floaty affairs aimed at next year's warmer season. The fusion of hipsterness and hippyness, rolled out by Sacai's founder and creative designer Chitose Abe, was heightened by the addition of floral embroidery and pointy boots.
