Hairstyles Take Flight

Feathered Styles

Feathers are flying into style this season as we're seeing for the third time with the crazy new hair styles by master stylist, Joe Paciorek. These images were captured by photographer, Michael Kostopoulos, and give a good visual of how the look is being taken to the extreme for high fashion shoots. Some looks are softer, while others have the more quirky look reminiscent of a Cockatiel's 'do.
