I still remember "The Great Gatsby" released in 2013, which showed the warmth and coldness of that prosperous era, and the appearance of the heroine was even more fascinating. , caused a retro trend. The most impressive thing is the diamond and pearl headband on the heroine's head that looks like a feather. This time let's talk about this major retro element - feathers!

Feather fashion actually has a history of hundreds of years. If you look closely at the portraits of European aristocrats, you will see them wearing hats decorated with feathers. By the 1920s, hats with complicated designs were abandoned and replaced with a somewhat Indian style. Feathers are pinned to a headband or cloche.
