Fashion Features

There's something whimsical and eye-catching about feathers in fashion. They add a touch of fun to outfits, transforming simple dresses into unconventional pieces. From pop entertainers to the red carpet, feathers are everywhere lately. But feathers are not new in the fashion world. In the 1920's, feathers made a splash in fashion during the flapper era, as dresses were decorated with feathers to create more movement.
