Feathers are making a comeback in Fashion circles at the 2008 shows was the peacock feather -- the ultimate symbol of maleness. It was used to exceptional effect by John Galliano in a Dior dress whose overlapping pieces of fabric evoked peacock plumage.
Significantly, feathers were often twinned with tulle at the Paris shows, most strikingly in Chanel's wigs. The effect was dramatic to say the least.
Another reason for a revival of feathers on international runways may be that they serve as a fur substitute, offering warmth without weight and glamour without guilt. Yves Saint Laurent reproduced his famous fox-fur chubbies of 25 years ago in feathers for his fall collection. So keep an eye out for the latest in feather fashion from For you my Queen.
