It started on January 3. At 9 pm. On PBS. The final season of Masterpiece Theatre’s “Downton Abbey.” With inspirational programs before and after the 9 pm event. Catch up if you have missed it. Worth it for the fashions alone.
In later episodes, watch for bobs, bandeaux, browbands, like this beaded version worn by Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary Crawley. See “The Downton Times” article in “The New York Sunday Times” today. Check how the Howard Carter discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922 influenced jewelry, fashion, furniture, film, art – and hair. The Egyptian Bob, inspired by Egyptian art made an appearance, and headbands had an ancient Egyptian look, as worn by flappers of the era, and in one scene in Downton, not shown here. What should catch on will be the headband bandeau, worn this way and that with many hairstyles. Stay tuned …

No one does costume like BBC-TV. No one. Anywhere. And what they do can often look very modern, very relevant today. The fashions. The hair. The hair accessories. Well, just about everything. Take Michelle Dockery wearing this ancient Egyptian art-inspired wide bandeau in the Final Series of “Downton Abbey” on PBS-TV. It just makes her and her bob look that more marvelous. The look is so striking in so many scenes of the hit series that the bandeau is hot news. Easy to copy. Just find some similar fabric and tie it on. The final episodes take place between 1925 and 1927 and King Tutankhamen’s tomb, discovered in 1922, influenced everything in the ’20s, from hair to fashion, furniture, jewelry and more, so there could also be a return to deco designs on everything.
