This look from Ann Demeulemeester F/W 09 has got me thinking. Would you ever wear a crazy over the top head piece like the one pictured here? I kind of want to see more of these on the street, but alas it hasn’t happened. Who out there is brave enough to pull this off?

LINKAGE: the feeling’s back and you just can’t stop it

If you guys are still into headpieces (I know they were really in last season) designer  Susannah Lipsey has her spring collection out, and it’s very girly and unique. I like the use of color, and the mix of feathers combined with silk flowers.

These headpieces by Little Doe are both excessively ornate and unapologetically ethereal. Leave it to fashion to turn a Native American trademark and hippie motifs into an overpriced accessory. Nevertheless, one can’t deny the appeal of one-of-a-kind, handmade quality and an excuse to waft around barefoot in your peace beads and gauze peasant blouse. Each piece is custom made out of antique materials and things found in nature; think flowers, feathers and peacock tails. This is one of those things you’d want to be careful to wear on the right occasion to avoid looking costumed…but I doubt that’s possible, or if someone bold enough to sport one at any given moment would even care. I know I wouldn’t.
