Breaking Fall Trends 2014 – Feathers and Birds

November 05 2014 – Julie Oriola

NY, London, Milan, Paris Fashion Weeks–Fashion designers flocked to two distinct micro trends this season: feathers and birds. Whether embellishing their designs with actual feathers or using bird motifs in prints, knits, or accessories this trend is flying high!

Feathers have a bit of retro glamour and sophistication to them. They are somewhere between fab costume & a demure fashion forward style.  Sported as apparel, it  appears to dance and move at the slightest wind blow and is irresistible.

How to wear feathers without looking overdone? Instead of draping yourself in feathers choose one item. Here, a luxe skirt spotted at Second Time around by Calypso St. Barth is one of our faves.

Worn as an accessory, feather motifs take on a more organic vibe. Here are some feather faves with a touch of gold and glam. Shop these looks at ChicStreets.com.
