Inspired by Hollywood dreams of the Deep South, by Marlene Dietrich&#8217;s gorilla-suit striptease in &#8216;Blonde Venus&#8217;, and by glorious Technicolor, Atkinson has created a collection to evoke the magic of the moment as the house-lights dim and the curtain rises on our glamorous Prima Donna. Her stage is set and she is bedecked in the craftsmanship of the costumiers, the make-up artists, the hair stylists, the milliners!!! She is adored!  <\/p>\n<p>The lights and action banish the outside world and fantasy becomes, momentarily at least, reality. We can worship our Cleopatra, our Cinderella, our Scarlett O&#8217;Hara. <\/p>\n<p>This season&#8217;s pieces come in a tropical palette of Deep Fuchsia, Parrot Red, Macaw Blue and Jungle Green mixed with neutral Ivory and Honey. Twenty-inch macaw tail feathers balance atop straw berets, clouds of ostrich float over pillboxes and crystallised exotic beetles pose proudly on hairbands and combs. High-Priestess of Print, Zandra Rhodes, has pulled a classic textile from her archive and collaborated with Atkinson. The Banana Leaf print makes an appearance as a turban, a snood, a simple bow.   <\/p>\n<p>Styles range from last season&#8217;s fedora, now in Fuchsia Pink straw, to Atkinson&#8217;s signature beret shapes from micro to maxi. Straw Boaters and Turbans make their debut, while the floral straws make a glittery come-back. This collection, retaining Atkinson&#8217;s signature sense of humour, is as ripe for an outing at Royal Ascot as much as the society wedding, a night at the opera or for simple, dressed-to-kill style.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, Piers Atkinson presented his Spring\/Summer 2012 &#8220;Hot Voodoo&#8221; collection at The Sanderson Hotel with a cocktail reception and hat parade featuring swimming costumes by Zandra Rhodes and shoes&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30090],"tags":[52836,52849,57801],"class_list":["post-2005527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-luxsure-international-en","tag-london-fashion-week","tag-piers-atkinson","tag-ss12"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2005527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005527\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2005527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2005527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2005527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
