Fashion Is Getting Fluffy Again
Feathers, beading and all the texture making fall clothes interesting again.
Fashion is getting fluffy again. After seasons of restraint, fall is leaning into clothes with a little more personality: feathers, beading, tapestry, plush finishes and fringe that actually earns its place. Carmen Says goes all in with feathered separates, while Kim Shui and Lamarque use texture in ways that feel less costume, more night-out uniform. Alice + Olivia’s embellished coat makes the case for outerwear that does not politely fade into the background, and Marques’ Almeida takes the idea all the way down to the shoes. Even knits and accessories are getting louder, from Farm Rio’s tapestry cardigan to Apparis’ furry fringe bag. The point is not one specific texture. It is that flat, overly sensible clothes are starting to look a little boring.
