FEATHERS: A TREND IN HAUTE COUTURE

March 20, 2020

FEATHERS, FEATHERS AND MORE FEATHERS… THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE EMERGING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

The use of feathers in clothing reminds us of the wonderful decade of the 1920s, a time when different cultural movements emerged, such as jazz in music and the feminist revolution in politics. A current example we have from this era is the television series “ Cable Girls ” of Netflix . There you can travel back to this era and understand what we're talking about, where feathers were all the rage in haute couture. You'll see how feathers were used, especially in the arts: dancers, cabarets, masks, and costumes. From the very beginning, they conveyed an aura of mystery and seduction. What do you think?

THE FEATHER TREND

As we all know, fashion is cyclical, and nothing is immune to change. More and more brands are embracing this trend, incorporating the mysterious allure of feathers into their haute couture designs, transforming them to add a distinctive and elegant touch to their dresses.

Like good “ CoolHunters” Trend hunters, #Acuslovers today we show you that Feathers are the height of haute couture, and we have examples that prove it.

Take note, we're starting.

THE SAFE WAY: FEATHERS IN DRESSES

If there's one classic element in feathered attire, it's undoubtedly the dress. The first things that come to mind when we think of feather dresses are the mystery of the night, dancers, cabaret… But now, many brands have given the feather concept a twist, making it subtle and stylish while still maintaining that air of mystery it evokes . We want to show you how you can adapt this trend to your next event and make a statement.

We cannot talk about feather dresses without referring to Ze García , the brand that has impressed us with designs like the one worn by influencer Carla Hinojosa , is one of the brands that has been using feathers most frequently in its designs lately, and none of them have left us indifferent.

Influencer Marta Lozano also favors feathers in her outfits, making them her trusted allies in many of the recent events she has attended, such as this stunning dress by Jesús Peiró , which she wore to the wedding of Maria Pombo and Pablo Castellano.

Following the same feather theme but with a completely different style, this mini dress she wore Jessica Goicoechea on the 25th Anniversary of GQ Spain magazine.

This short dress does remind us more of an old-fashioned ballerina; it's ideal and it's also by Ze García .

Alberta Ferretti has also surprised us by embracing this trend, as seen in the fabulous green dress worn by Nieves Álvarez at the 2020 Goya Awards. The dress not only featured feathers, but also ruffles that mimicked them, adding volume to both the top and bottom. Only someone like the supermodel could pull off this design so well.

Another brand joining this trend is Monique Lhuillier , who presented this beautiful feathered cape in a pale salmon tone for this winter. Would you dare to wear it?

Vicky Martín Berrocal 's label, Victoria , also makes a statement with its designs, such as this one, featuring rhinestones on the bodice, draped organza at the chest, and exquisite feathers on the shoulders. A daring combination, but perfectly harmonious. In the photo, Mónica de Tomás looks stunning at the San Sebastián Film Festival.

FEATHERS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

We're not just seeing this trend in dresses; it also applies to other accessories, such as these shoes from Bianco. which shows us Nina Sandbech and they have won us over.

One accessory we love is the wide-brimmed hat , and with feathers, even more so! Mariquita Trasquilá incorporates this one into her black & white smocking dress.
