When you think of “provocative headwear,” balaclavas and face masks are probably among the first to spring to mind. Having long sat on the sidelines of seasonal collections with few designers daring to roll them out as a serious in-line accessory, such pieces are set to make a big return this winter. For style wildcards like Bloody Osiris, it's the only headwear to be seen in.
