Although ostrich feathers are all the rage in today’s fashion, this elegant look isn’t new. In Europe, feathers first became common as a hat decoration in the early 14th century. During the 16th century, hats adorned with ostrich feathers were in demand by those wealthy enough to purchase them in the fashion centers of Europe: Paris, Vienna, Florence and Prague.
