Another popular material for creating this fall/winter feminine style is feathers. Expressing the elegance and lightness of couture, feathers appeared in a variety of colors. The key was to keep the silhouette of the base piece simple, highlighting the volume of the feathers.

Dries Van Noten's dress, inspired by cheek dance costumes, was embroidered with feathers and crystals, making you want to dance. The vibrant colors, such as canary yellow and pink, are fresh. Pair it with stiletto sandals for a truly feminine look, or mix it with a masculine jacket and pants for a bolder, more feminine look.

Nina Ricci's pale pink dress featured feathers adorned between layers of organza. This delicate and elegant design showcased the true talents of the Parisian couture house. At London's Christopher Kane, feathers were used as a motif to symbolize the theme of nature. Oversized jackets and mini dresses were decorated with feather lines, and tulle dresses were adorned with corsages made of feathers.
