# Over-Sized Feathered Headdresses Valentino Boasts Vibrant Colors in All-Encompassing Hat Designs By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-01-26 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feathered-headdress References: [vogue](https://www.vogue.com/article/valentino-couture-lavender-pink-lips-feathered-hat-kaia-gerber-paris) The most captivating part of [Valentino's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) couture collection for Spring 2018 is the ethereal feathered headdress. It is more of a statement than an accessory and more of a sculptural masterpiece than a hat. It wasn't just a luxurious detail, the piece brought out the colors in the collection as it was customized to accompany every outfit. The models strutted down the catwalk like a group of otherworldly characters. Their delicate and elaborate plume headpieces either [sprouted like flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown), revealing only a small portion of facial structures, or relied on a more bowl-like and gravitational-dependent design that delicately engulfed the air. While the blue feathered headdress mutely complimented the yellow frilled trench, Kaia Gerber's appearance stood out to the audience with Valentino's bold head-to-toe fuchsia pink ensemble and similarly nuanced feathered headdress. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ethereal Feathered Headdresses:** Opportunity for designers to create unique, statement-making headpieces that are more like sculptural masterpieces than traditional hats. - **Customized Accessories:** Opportunity to offer personalized headpieces that match and enhance individual outfits and collections. - **Bold and Vibrant Colors:** Opportunity to experiment with vibrant color palettes that further enhance the impact of the feathered headdresses. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory designers and retailers can explore the creation and customization of unique feathered headdresses. - **High Fashion:** High fashion designers can incorporate bold and vibrant headpieces into their collections to make a statement and enhance the overall aesthetic. - **Event Planning:** Event planners and organizers can use oversized feathered headdresses to create unique and visually stunning experiences for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Bird-Inspired Ethereal Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md)
