100 Fierce Feathered Fashion Innovations

From Tribal Influenced Headwear to Gorgeous Evening Gowns

— November 17, 2011 — Fashion
I may be a little biased in creating a gallery of gorgeous feathered fashion innovations because the flimsy, whimsical fabric is my all time favorite accessory and evening wear material (although I certainly prefer faux feathers to the real deal).

However, it's hard to deny that feathered fashion adds an incredible sense of whimsy and glamor to any outfit. Whether you're looking to go the hippie, boho-chic route with a couple of feather extensions à la Ke$ha, or indulge in a luxurious, stunning feathered gown (a red carpet staple during any awards season), feathered fashion innovations are truly a great way to add a touch of femininity to your wardrobe.

Check out this gallery of breathtaking feathered fashion innovations for some elegant, red carpet-worthy looks.
