Maiko Takeda

Artist

Maiko Takeda is a London-based milliner and jewellery designer. Originally from Tokyo, Japan, she completed an MA in millinery at the Royal College of Art. With her expertise and prior knowledge of jewellery design gained from her BA Jewellery Design (Hons) at Central Saint Martins, her interest lies in creating ethereal adornments to the body. Environmental influences such as shadow, wind and gravity create an experience of wonder and bewilderment for the adorned. The form of her work itself can never be its sole feature, as the extra element is always seeking to transcend the expectations of the wearer as part of the work. Her work experience includes Stephen Jones, Philip Treacy, Issey Miyake and Erickson Beamon. She is known for making headpieces for Icelandic singer Björk.
