Feather Fashion In History

I always say the life and the world as a whole are going in a circle. That something that is in style now was in style once before and will be in style once again in the future.

It’s more of a spiral then just a circle because there is always a change.

So feathers in fashion was, is and always will be.

Here are some pictures of feather fashion from the 1800`s.

This first one if from Wikipedia, it is from an article on the feather boa.

They say it’s a picture of a woman wearing a feather boa from 1892.

I really don’t see how you could tell it’s a feather boa from the picture.

Here is a plate from a monthly magazine in 1830 showing women’s hats decorated with feathers.
