“Atmospheric Reentry” – Headdresses by Maiko Takeda

Tokyo-born, London-based designer Maiko Takeda presented her collection Atmospheric Reentry at the Royal College of Art Fashion Show last month.

The collection was inspired by imagery from the Philip Glass opera Einstein on the Beach and sets out to explore the conditions of blurring surrounding space. The nine headresses consist of transparent plastic spikes tinted with colour gradients at the bases and tips, which are held in place between sections of acrylic joined by small silver rings.

“While hats are commonly made with substantial and durable materials such as fabric, felt, plastic, leather so on, instead I wanted to create ethereal experiences for the wearer through the pieces.” – Maiko Takeda ¹
