Leopard, cheetah, snake – all are having a major moment.  Yet, there is another…  Monday Obsession: Feathers.  Use of feathers in fashion dates back to the 11th century, when Kings, Queens & high society used feathers to decorate corsets, and headdresses; Venetians used them to decorate Carnivale masks. It was in the 18th century that feathers made its way to the masses via cabaret dancers, and bonnets for women.  Fast forward to the 21st century where we can find top designers sending feathers down the catwalk like Fendi, Michael Kors, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo.

Today’s photo posts feature fine feather finds for Fall 2012 like this Asos dress.
