The most captivating part of Valentino's couture collection for Spring 2018 is the ethereal feathered headdress. It is more of a statement than an accessory and more of a sculptural masterpiece than a hat.
It wasn't just a luxurious detail, the piece brought out the colors in the collection as it was customized to accompany every outfit. The models strutted down the catwalk like a group of otherworldly characters. Their delicate and elaborate plume headpieces either sprouted like flowers, revealing only a small portion of facial structures, or relied on a more bowl-like and gravitational-dependent design that delicately engulfed the air.
While the blue feathered headdress mutely complimented the yellow frilled trench, Kaia Gerber's appearance stood out to the audience with Valentino's bold head-to-toe fuchsia pink ensemble and similarly nuanced feathered headdress.
