# Eccentric Helmet-Haired Runways The Yoshio Kubo Fall/Winter 2014 Collection Features Wild Wigs By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-05-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoshio-kubo-fallwinter-2014 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/yoshio-kubo-fallwinter-2014/) & [ykgf.jp](http://www.ykgf.jp/) The Yoshio Kubo Fall/Winter 2014 collection was presented during [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amg-parfum) Fashion Week in Tokyo. The eccentric menswear line featured a range of printed suits, layered outerwear pieces and patterned knits that were worn by helmet-haired models. From blonde and brunette to the odd red-head, models sported sculptural wig headpieces that were a modern translation of the traditional hairstyle of Japan's Sumo wrestlers. Whether dressing up or opting for a casual look, the Yoshio Kubo Fall/Winter 2014 collection stole the show at [Tokyo fashion week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-tokyo-fallwinter-2025) thanks to its wild hair looks that infused an element of humour into the evening. The [bold menswear line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips) was also a nod the the 60s with its fresh take on op art patterns and cocooned garment silhouettes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Printed Suits:** Opportunities for innovative printed suit designs that combine bold patterns and traditional tailoring. - **Layered Outerwear:** Disruptive innovation potential in creating unique layered outerwear pieces that combine functionality and fashion. - **Patterned Knits:** Opportunities for inventive patterned knitwear designs that add visual interest to winter collections. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can leverage the trend of eccentric helmet-haired runways to experiment with unconventional styling and creative hair accessories. - **Menswear:** Menswear industry can explore the use of wild hair looks and humorous hair accessories to inject playfulness and uniqueness into their collections. - **Textile:** Textile industry can benefit from the demand for innovative printed fabrics and patterned knits that are used in fashion collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Measured Winter Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-fw26.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Reconstructive Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses.md) - [Ambitious Luxury Menswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips.md) - [Classic Fall-Ready Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mki-miyuki-zoku-11.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Winter Apparel Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-tokyo-fallwinter-2025.md)
