Feathers with a flair. That's exactly what Zac Posen did in his Spring 2011 collection that takes the utilization of feathers from frilly to ferocious (in the best way of course!). One of my two favorite trends in this collection uses feathers to emphasize the shoulders but not create a harsh line. It gives the look a dominating yet angel-like appearance that commands attention. The bright orange dress above has a sophisticated but still daring look. The asymmetrical up-do adds a dose of quirk that is complemented by the red lipstick which brings out the fiery color of the dress. I LOVE the degree of elaborateness in this collection and absolutely FEAST on the details Posen has livened his collection with.
Warning: If you wish try and wear feathers on your own, keep it to a minimal amount as you do not want to appear as though you are preparing for flight any time soon. Try a bright pop of colored feathers with a headband, some earrings, or even a bag! To recreate a version of one of these looks, try a feathered scarf with an appropriate evening gown. Wear it around your shoulders or even tied to a part of the dress as an accent.
Can guys wear feathers?
