Welcome to My Fashion Stories Box Podcast\\u2019s Season 4! Starting from now on, the episodes will be available in English and in French. To start this new cycle, we will talk about the local Touraine headdress. I, myself, was born in the city of Tours and my family has been living in the Touraine region for some generations, and it became an evidence for me to dedicate some times researching this fashion item. To share the first results of my researches dedicated to the origins of this headpiece, I organized on November 24 2023 a conference followed by an exhibition, entitled \\u201cThe Touraine headdresses \\u2013 To the origins\\u201d in partnership with the association \\u201cHistoire et Patrimoine de Saint-Christophe-sur-le-Nais\\u201d.\\xa0
