Luckily, feathers are still fashionably acceptable or else I'd just be one big raging lunatic with my more recent obsession with them (WRIST BLISS bracelet wrap above). Come to think of it, though, this is one material that any designer will always be able to find the perfect spot for. Thing is with feathers, they come in a kagillion different forms and colors and sizes... and now that I've learned how to dye them myself, I am slowly integrating my stock with more known cruelty free, free range, naturally shed and vintage sources. I also love to get some pretty great feathers from BOCAGEand mix things up with a dose or two of other goodies- like these killer patent leather style bows in this TUTTI FRUTTI BLACK OUT hair clip fascinator:
and this SHEER BEAUTY headband....
and this TIGRESS broach...
I like to think I'm enjoying a certain fearlessness, that is very uncharacteristic of who I am, in going nuts with these feathers and whatnot in my designs. But, really, they're less crazy than a first glance might make you think... and more pretty and delicate and classic and stunning pieces of stylin' spanking goodness. Who doesn't need a little bit of that in their life?
