# Severely Spiked Headdresses Maiko Takeda's Latest Collection was Inspired by Atmospheric Reentry By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-06-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric-reentry References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/06/01/atmospheric-reentry-by-maiko-takeda) & [maikotakeda](http://www.maikotakeda.com/collection-atmospheric-reentry.php) Creating an instant buffer between the wearer and everyone around them, the spiky head wear in the Atmospheric Reentry collection by designer Maiko Takeda is sure to intimidate anyone who wants to get too close. Transparent plastic quills that are dip-dyed for a gradient effect stand to attention all over these headdresses, creating [sculptural body casings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1) that both draw attention, much like the [vibrant tail of a peacock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers), and keep people away like the [protective mechanism of a porcupine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life). In her description of her Atmospheric Reentry collection of extremely spiked and artistically inclined headdresses, designer Maiko Takeda explains that, "while hats are commonly made with substantial and durable materials... I wanted to create ethereal experiences for the wearer through the pieces." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Transparent Headdresses:** Designers can integrate transparent materials into their headdress designs to produce futuristic and aesthetically-pleasing pieces. - **Sculptural Body Casings:** Designers can create headdresses with sculptural body casings to produce unique and commanding pieces that draw attention. - **Gradient Effect Headdresses:** Designers can use dip-dyed materials to create gradient effect headdresses that are visually depicting of natural patterns found in our environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion designers can incorporate spiky and sculptural headdresses to add a new dimension to their runway collections. - **Art Industry:** Artists can experiment with spiky materials and transparent quills to produce headdress sculptures that evoke emotions and reactions from viewers. - **Performance Art Industry:** Performance artists and stage designers can consider incorporating spiky and commanding headdresses into their set and costume designs to enhance their performances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Eco-Conscious Rain-Harvesting Headwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daughters-of-rain.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md)
