# Historically Influenced Headpieces Emily Soto's 'Divided Perception' Editorial is Fierce By | Published 2013-04-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divided-perception References: [conveyerofcool](http://conveyerofcool.com/post/49211049811/cool-photography-divided-perception-los-angeles) & [emilysotoblog](http://www.emilysotoblog.com/divided-perception/) Emily Soto's new editorial called 'Divided Perception' brings new meaning to the word "headdress." Soto's photographs are sleek and soft, complementing model Stephanie Pearson of [FORD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-bronco-bricc), whose simple, yet elegant outfits are topped with [elaborate headdresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyper-malone). Divided Perception uses these headdresses as the focal point of each photograph, stretching far above Pearson's rather fierce visage. Each headpiece is from a clear historical era. There's a feather headdress, making for a very haute couture Native American, as well as chainmail, giving way to a fashion-savvy Medieval knight. The headdresses were produced by Maddox Leather Design, Miss G Designs, and Bebe, with the clothes coming from Topshop, All Saints, BCBG Max Azria and [Mother of London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-your-mothers). This editorial proves that headdresses don't have to remain lost in history. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Historically-inspired Headpieces:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by creating modern interpretations of historical headpieces. - **Sleek and Soft Photography:** Disruptive innovation potential in the photography industry by exploring sleek and soft aesthetic styles for editorials. - **Fierce Fashion Portrayals:** Opportunity to disrupt the modeling industry through fierce fashion portrayals featuring elaborate headpieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can capitalize on the trend of historically-inspired headpieces to create unique and contemporary designs. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore the sleek and soft aesthetics showcased in the editorial to innovate their own photography styles. - **Modeling:** Models and modeling agencies can embrace the fierce fashion portrayals and incorporate elaborate headpieces into their portfolio. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Unique Elevated Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Premium Headwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyper-malone.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md)
