This season our wardrobes will be invaded again by birds, in all colourful shapes and forms that portray their vivacity. This obsession for birds in fashion is not something new and this print has migrated regularly into the designs of the top fashion brands.
Multiple species of birds have decorated the fabrics and been a part of the most sophisticated pieces in the past decades. If we look back at the collections of the last few years, we can see it has been present in various brands. Miu Miu for example presented a collection full of flying swallows in their fashion show Spring-Summer 2010. Rochas previously used them. Five years later, Pradas smaller sibling reused the idea for their Cruise 2016 proposal. The owls by Burberry Prorsum in 2012 marked a turning point.
This year, the direction of the wind has situated the nest on new garments in the current spring collections. This is the case with Loewes geese prints, that give them an earthly counterpoint to their futuristic touch proposal. Birds are also present on the Gucci, Valentino and Alexander McQueen fashion shows. From the most decorative to the most minimalist designs. Is it a short lived trend? Not at all, birds are high up the trends this autumn. Moreover, the most exotic birds such as the hummingbird or tucan are often reserved for accessories and jewellry in tropical style combinations.
How can it be worn in everyday wear?
Birds and more birds can be seen on the top celebrity styles. In Hollywood, actresses such as Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley or Dianna Agron have sported on the red carpet spectacular satin and silk dresses with bird prints. There has always been a close connection between these flying animals and cinema. Beyond Hitchlers terrifying avalanche of these flying creatures, there has been some legendary moments where birds have gained a particular symbolism. A recent example, in the film “The Hunger Games” where the Sinsajo bird gains promincence as an icon also in the clothes worn by the Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.
And from Hollywood to the high Street. The vitality of the birds has also succumbed the fashion bloggers who share on their web and video blogs the latest trends or styles that can be worn by real women.
