Va Va Plume

Bird season has arrived.
It seems one of Fall's hottest trends this year will be the feather. Although we've had some taste of the plumage this past spring (via the whimsical creations of style god Alber Elbaz at Lanvin), the feather is coming back with a vengeance, and we're taking note. Sprinkled throughout various fall collections, feathers are gracing everything from clothing to shoes to handbags, giving fall styles a rich, textured look. These eye catching creations are definitely statement pieces, designed for the bold and daring at heart (sophista-funks, get those pocketbooks ready).

Here are a few of my personal favorites:
