I'm a bit embarrassed that I had never come across Piers Atkinson before. He's now one of my main tutors on my BA, and today we met stylist Kim Howells who kept mentioning that she had worked with styling Piers and the hats he has created. So I obviously googled him, to see what he had done, expecting to find a blog possibly or a website of his hobby.
What I found was a profile as a designer for London Fashion Week, press from Japanese Vogue, and a photo of Kate Moss for Showstudio wearing one of his pieces. They're obscene, obscure... it's so anti Ascot yet seems to have used the extravagance the event as a main inspiration. I don't usually like the typical Lady Gaga type headpieces (hair in the shape of a telephone, not really,) but these Barbie doll pieces.. je t'aime.
I think I'll wait a while before I give him any cheek.
