Feather Fashion Summer 2015

Even though the summer is just a bit more then half way through here may be just the thing you are looking for.

If you are looking to spice up your wardrobe with some of the color and magic of feathers here are some of the hottest fashion out there this year.

This denim jacket with feather trim is beautiful for those cool summer nights.

You can buy it from Burberry.com or if you want be just a bit creative you make it yourself very easily.

All you need is a denim jacket and some Ostrich fringe. Just simply sow the ostrich fringe to the bottom of the jacket and you’re done. You can take a look at are line of fringes and choose a different color and style of feather also.

These Native American styles were a big hit at the Milan Fashion Week this year.

Take a look at this picture from the Rolling Stone website and you can see that this is a style not reserved for the fashion show.

Adding feather earrings, feather hair extensions and a feather necklace to you’re out fit will add plenty of color and beauty.  

Serkan Cura

Serkan Cura studied fashion at the Royal Academy of Antwerp and then sharpened his talent while working at the Parisian fashion house Jean Paul Gaultier.

To the best of my knowledge all of his pieces are made by hand from start to finish.

No need to mention that he likes to use a lot of feathers in his work. 

It may seem that a lot of the Serkan pieces are a bit on the dark side, but with a lot of color, like this picture by photographer Christian Lartillot which can seen on the Dark Beauty Magazine website.

As you can see by this piece which he designed for the Victoria Secret show, he also creates much lighter designs as well.

I think if I was to write a book about him I would call it “A dress for the goddess designed by Serkan Cura”.
