Florence Kosky In Feathers

Florence Kosky seems to have had the ideal childhood.

Growing up in Dorset England might just be the dream come true for most kids.

I can't complain, I grew up in Miami.

But just look at this picture, Miami doesn't have anything that looks like that.

Also Dorset is filled with farm land and forests. It's got these stunning old castles, and is all rural, no big noisy cities.

Right, now let us get back to Florence and this magical feather dress she is wearing.

This is from a photo shoot she did last year for Harper’s Bazaar UK.

What is great about this shoot is that it’s totally in vibe with Florence.

She grew up around farms and wood lands, and that's the theme.

The thing I loved about her story was how she got into modeling.

Some guy followed her around at a festival until she agreed to come to the modeling studio.

I bet she just thought he wanted a date.

J.W Anderson 2017 Winter Feather Fashion

To tell the truth I am a bit confused if these styles are from this winter or last winter, but hey what difference does it really make?

It's all mostly fashion eye candy and inspiration fodder anyway.

“inspiration fodder”

I just came up with that and I really like it.

This first article that I read about this line up was from last year, but I found all the designs mentioned on the Vogue website for this year. So you can come to your own conclusion.

Here are the two links so that you can have a look for yourself.

From what I understand he pumped this line out right after a full line of men's wear.

The thing that I like best about it is that it seems very glamorous but yet practical. Like stuff that normal people might wear out.

Of course they would be very rich normal people, but you know what I mean.

These three outfits are not crazy full of feathers but they have a lot more than just a feather fringe also.

The leather jacket it a very nice wintery touch, and it comes in two colors.

But I have one question that is really killing me and it has to do with this leather jacket.

Just because you are wearing a leather jacket, does not mean you are dressed for the winter.

So what is up with the above outfit?

Miu Miu – Fall Feather Fashion – Feather Skirt

So this is a really beautiful piece.

In my humble opinion the price tag is a bit high, just a bit over two thousand dollars. Here are two pictures of the skirt.

But the thing that really interests me about this skirt is the company that makes it.

Miu Miu was created by Miuccia Parada.

And is a fully owned subsidiary of the Parada group.

Now I know that I even mentioned in my last part that I have written about the Parada group before.

But after I see them all over the place it causes me to start thinking. 

Maybe that are part of one of those secret old society's like the free mason’s or something.

Don't we all just love a little conspiracy theory.

Fall Feather fashion - 2017

Get ready to see lots of feathers in this year's fall/winter fashion lines.

Just from the first two things that I saw it seems that the feather trend is going to be bigger than usual this year.



I am just going to start off with what was written in vogue and after that I am going to show you a super easy DIY project that can make a great Christmas gift.



Yeah that's right, you need to start thinking about those already.



http://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/autumn-winter-2017-feathers-trend-guide



So this article by vogue is a great, super short history, of our modern day feather fashion.



And then at the end they give you a nice little intro to this year's feather fashion trends.

I just picked this picture to share with you because I thought it was really interesting.



It's a style by Prada which I have written about in the past.



The second thing that I read was this post on refinery29.com.



http://www.refinery29.com/2017/09/172869/feather-fashion-trend



They have a great collection of awesome feather fashion for this year's fall and winter.



But the one that I wanted to talk about is this feather trim hoodie from Opening Ceremony.



But the problem is it not available anymore.



The good news. .. It's super easy to make your self.



All you need to do is get some of our feather trim and sow it into the inside bottom part of your favorite hoodie, and bam there you go.



And like I said, it can make a great Christmas gift.



Bye for now.

Matthew Williams – Ostrich Feather Trimmed Dress

Coming across this dress was a short and pleasant adventure for me.

I first found it mentioned on the website lyst.com quoting another site farfetch.com, where it was being sold for $2,513.

https://www.lyst.com/clothing/matthew-williamson-ostrich-feather-trim-lace-dress-nude-neutrals/

https://www.farfetch.com/de/shopping/women/matthew-williamson-kleid-mit-strau-enfedern-item-10956144.aspx?utm_source=laurenlyst&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=PHUK&utm_term=UKNetwork

If that seems like an crazy amount to you it is simply because you are not buying fashion designer clothing. I only mention this because I think it’s a crazy amount to spend on a dress, but because I write about the fashion industry all the time I know what this kind of apparel are going for.

The thing that we need to understand is these are not just clothing, but works of art.

This dress truly is a work of art. From the patterns of the lace upper through the long ostrich feather trim, everything is put together perfectly.

True talent can be seen in the way the green lace pattern gradually gives way to the feather trim.

Farfetch.com, where the dress was last being sold is in German. Thanks to Google these language barriers have been torn down while surfing the internet. But the description of the dress said NUDE colored, and thought that this might be a case of bad translation, but its not.

After being educated on nude colors, I had to find a bit more about the designer Matthew Williamson.

Matthew is British and born in 1971. If you really want to hear all about his carrier here is a link to the right page in Wikipedia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Williamson

For me these are the highlights.

Matthew is known for his bright colors. In 1997 he displayed the “Electric Angels” at the London Fashion week. I find these designs to be breath taking.

In recent years Matthew Williams has produced his own line of home decor. His taste in interior design is right up my ally, absolutely incredible.

DIY – Stage Worthy Feather Fans

Now I know that have written in the past about how to make your own feather fans, but these girls totally took this to another level.

Billy Wilburn and Corey Shelsta
South Dakota State University Theatre

These two wrote out in detail how they made these fans so if you are interested in such a project you can take a look at their link below.

http://www.stolaf.edu/nbs/NBS_May_11/ProductionCasebook/ProductionCasebook.html

What they say in the beginning is very true, these fans are a bit expensive, but if you are not into the project you can buy the fan HERE.

But if you are going to go for it with this kind of project then we have just the feathers that you are going to be needing.

If you try this out, take some pictures and share them with us.

DIY Feather Trim Necklace

But just recently I cam across a bunch of pins that were really great.

This detailed instruction post on how to make a stunning feather trim necklace really takes the stage.

Here is the link to the pin:

Danielle is a real DIY, home made blogger that’s been at it full force since 2011.

If you ask me though this project of hers is something that should be coming out of a designer school.

She did such a great job with this project I am amazed. Look at these detailed pictures explaining exactly how to do this.

Here is the link to the full site where you can find all of the instructions.
