# Laced-Up Metal Headwear 'Maria' by Krasimir Marchev Shows Off Avant-Garde Headdresses By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2010-05-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-by-krasimir-marchev References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Maria_/527320) & [atelie056](http://atelie056.com/) I'm a sucker for [avant-garde fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens), and the [unusual headwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era) in 'Maria' by Krasimir Marchev caught my eye the moment I saw it. The [odd metal hat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection) 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.
