Mermaid Muses: Get Frou Frou with Marabou

Marabou goes hand in hand with old Hollywood glamour and boudoir photography, and I am obsessed with its return to the fashion industry with Betsey Johnson's and Dyspnea's S/S 2015 shows. There's something so sexy yet sweet about these fluffy balls of feather that usually come in shades of pink and white. I'm adoring how it's often used as trimming for gowns the way it was worn during the 50s and 60s and of course, I can't forget those classic marabou mules. It seems that the designers have decided to go for a retro glam look by opting out the silk gowns for tulle skirts, sheer material, and ornate detailing while still keeping the darling marabou trimmings.
