Magical Experiences by Maiko Tekeda
In many cultures the hat is a status symbol and wearing a hat is still an obligation to attend certain ceremonial occasions. A hat makes its owner appear taller, more important and gives the person a certain presence. A hat can enable a person to slip on a different personality and let him or her become someone different.
Maiko Takeda’s creations seem like a surreal creatures from fantastic dream world. The headpieces of her latest creation, ‘Atmospheric Reentry’, are excitingly different, delicate and futuristic. The Tokyo born graduate of Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, seeks to ‘create surreal, subtle dramas around the person wearing a piece and the people near them’. She imagines to give the people wearing her pieces the opportunity to ‘experience or share surreal moments in their daily lives, at a party or in the privacy of their own home’. ‘I want my pieces to give people those magical experiences’.
