Why fuss about growing out your hair when you can own something from the Piers Atkinson AW10 collection, such as a [fringe beret or headband](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-disgracefully-collection)? Better yet, when you’re living in the past throw on ‘The Morgana,’ a [full-on Afro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oribe-partners-with-thandiwe) with disco-star detailing and a spear going through it.

The Piers Atkison AW10 collection, called ‘It Is Later Than You Think’ was recently launched by the London-based designer. Telling a tale of [Tragedy, Despair, Murder and Redemption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25), the designer’s lookbook is anything but forgettable.

Check out the gallery to fully understand how crazy Atkison’s designs really are.
