A Feather in One's Cap

In my opinion, a feather not only looks fantastic in one's cap but in various other accessories too. I've brought together some of my favourite feathered items below.


These rings are by Brazilian designer Paulo Segatto and I'm immediately struck by the Brazilian Carnival influence. I'd really love to own something similar one day! The Mynah bird bra by artist Emily Bullock has won an award for its unusual design, yet it does bring controversy back to the table. Were it not for the heads remaining, the bra could perhaps avoid dispute as people are far more concerned if the animal products resemble what they came from. The shoes, on the other hand, have no beaks or eyes attached so the lack of this connection doesn't bring up the feeling of guilt. They were designed by Nicholas Kirkwood.


Below is the Valentino Crystal-Embellished Feather clutch bag and the eyebrows are taken from Australian Fashion Week and designed by Bianca Spender. Lastly, the feather choker is by Peter Farago.
