As a consequence of the integration of the Oriental fashion in the Western fashion it can be difficult to distinguish it. With a method of semiotically analyzed photographs this thesis has studied the turban as a symbol of the Oriental fashion. From the analysis, it has been proven that the turban has undergone a transformation from dress and masquerade to fashion. A pattern which has been linked to a process of deorientalizing.

Furthermore, the thesis has studied the significance of the contextual meaning within fashion as well as the globalization of the fashion system. (Less)
