The Luxe Report: Fabulous Feathers

Hello, La Dolce Vita readers - it's me (Rebecca from Young Sophisticates) again! This edition of the Luxe Report focuses on the fanciful feather trend!

When I saw a trio of fabulous women - designer Jenna Lyons, actress Uma Thurman and model Natalia Vodianova (pictured below)- in American Vogue wearing feathered eveningwear a few issues back, I knew this was one trend to watch.

Take a style cue from J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons and incorporate feathers into an unexpectedly chic ensemble: a feathered skirt paired with a casual cashmere sweater.

Or, embrace your inner girly girl and wear a gorgeous gown with ostrich feathers - think Elie Saab, Marchesa or Pamella Roland's Fall 2011 collection.
