This spring you can leave your LBD in the closet and go for next season’s must-have feather fashion! Downy frocks will be all the rage for spring and summer 2009, so plan early and jot down ‘feathered accessories’ on your wishlist for Santa.
The gallery shows a few examples of how big-name designers suggest this look might be carried into everyday wardrobes. That being said, I’m pretty sure that unless your name’s Bjork, not all these looks would be possible to pull off.
Flick through the gallery, then make sure to keep feathered fashion on your style radar!
