Peacocks have been a heavy influence for a wide range of fashion designers this season who sought inspiration from the brilliant blues, turquoises, greens and purples of the arrogant birds.
Fashion has been inspired by nature since the days the first humans donned animal furs and headdresses, and no wonder when there are creatures roaming this earth with tail feathers as extravagant as those of peacocks.
The gallery shoes accessories like real peacock feather hair clips to fully-patterned dresses. If that's a bit image too eccentric for you, however, you can still emulate the majestic birds by incorporating their jewel toned hues in your wardrobe. Female peacocks tend to have feathers in shades of white, which is where Fendi sought inspiration for their silver peacock evening bag.
Also the other items featured in the gallery are available on Shopbop.
