Feathers F/W 07.08

[Spike413]

Seems like Roberto Cavalli's favorite adornment has finally proven itself as a trend, but ironically his collection had no feathers at all....strange for the designer who's single handedly kept the feather business alive and well.

I personally like it best when it's kept sleek against the body like the black and white Marchesa bodice, it just looks a little more interesting than a fluff of ostrich.

I'm kind of in love with the last coat, it's so rediculous looking, it's fabulous!

 

[Salvatore]

Great spotting!
I agree about that last coat. It's just so perfect!

^ I missed those! And I like them, very slick looking, but with a nice texture to it.

how about a fun name for the trend...


birds of a feather...?

the birds

Actually, that was the first thought that came to my mind too softgrey, but I passed on it, it sounded too much like an Elle trend report.

Alejandro's on the other hand, may just be perfect.

Some more additions to the trend...

Dolce

Fendi (the grey one just says "look what my cat hacked up")

I kind of like the feather at Thakoon...but generally I hate this trend.

a few of these are very pretty but most aren't very wearable:-/ i like the michael kors feathered mini dresses; not too over the top.

Just magnificent, trust Emma Cook to sell this trend to me!

I don't mind feathers... in moderation

admittedly i think it works well for some pieces.. i liked it at marchesa, and i like the way michael kors used them..

it often looks too theatrical for practical, real-life wear though...

How does "pretty plumage" sound?
or Feathered Frocks?

 

[Grunged]

this is genius just like the Muppet/shaggy chic thing!
I love the feathers!

 

[Tiffany7]

I see Fendi added some feathers to the muppet bag lol

 

[ilaughead]

Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana did a horrible job with the feathers. Most everyone else did a great job, though. I love the Marchesa dress!

 

[morgan38]

I like the Emma Cook one actually.
