Laced-Up Metal Headwear

'Maria' by Krasimir Marchev Shows Off Avant-Garde Headdresses

I'm a sucker for avant-garde fashion, and the unusual headwear in 'Maria' by Krasimir Marchev caught my eye the moment I saw it. The odd metal hat in the first image, for example, is laced together in corset-like fashion using thin black braids. And the headdress in the second and fifth images uses those same black braids, cascading them down the model's face like a half-wig.

The model's porcelain skin helps the unusual fashions in 'Maria' by Krasimir Marchev stand out even further. See more images from the shoot above.
