Fashion Bomb Flashback: Y2K Icons, such as Aaliyah, Beyonce and Jlo’s Swinging Bandazzled Bandanas, China Moon Rags by tichina Arnold

Before decorative accessories became mainstream, Tichina Arnold’s Chinese Moon Rag defined an era. The line was launched after running on Martin, bringing the bold, rhinestone-shaped turban to the forefront of fashion. The iconic magazine on Vibe in November 2000 featured Lisaraye, Mc Lyte, Vivica A. Fox, DJ Sprinderella, Regina King, and Tichina itself.

The brand quickly became the top choice for some of the biggest stars of the early 2000s. Aaliyah, Beyoncé, J.Lo and Missy Elliott all stun the Chinese moon on the music video, on the red carpet, and memorable pop culture moments. The decorative headscarf becomes a symbol of the Y2K style – playing, bold and unquestionably unique.
