The Piers Atkinson Spring 2014 collection is for a more adventurous dresser.

The British designer is known for being the master of designing eccentric headgear. You may remember [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) Japan's editor-at-large Anna Dello Russo donning a bodacious cherry headband during Fashion Week a couple years back? Yep, Atkinson was the man behind that notorious headband, and he's shown no sign of slowing down when it comes to designing his latest collection.

The latest batch of [statement-making headwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patch-cap) features offbeat, [peculiar accouterments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive): think googly eyes, unicorns and cupcakes. The result is a series of headgear that is playful, curious and most importantly, larger than life! Caution: do not wear these pieces if you aren't prepared for the attention you will receive as a result!
