Chinese New Year 2017: Rooster Style

rooster fashion
Happy Chinese New Year! Eat until you burst, show your family some love and get showered in red envelopes. This is the Year of the Cock, so get your sartorial rooster style on. Lots of designers were game, either creating items specifically honoring the holiday or using our feathered friend as muse.

You can get your rooster chic on at all budgets. The bedazzled Guess rooster tee at the center is only $34. The lovely feather print pants are from Just Cavalli at $442. 

Marc Jacobs put out a cute collection of leather goods with cut leather fowl. The fire rooster card case is $155. Kate Spade is offering an embellished rooster coin purse at $128. On the accessible end, the Heidi Daus jeweled earrings are $90 while the silver and pearl rooster leg bracelet by Givenchy is a splurge at $1595.

My favorite item on this list are the Christopher Kane shoes with the feathered crest. Grab them NOW as they are 60% off.

British label Sibling had their male models wear crested headpieces for their Spring 2015 runway. They had more dramatic looks that looked like a full blown red feathered turkey, but these looks definitely get the message across. Year of the Cock indeed.

Enjoy your Chinese New Year, get decked out in Rooster Style. Celebrate the holiday for what it is, by enjoying the foods, the spirit of family and renewal. Bring good fortune upon yourself by seeking good karma. Gung Hei Fat Choy!!!

Fabulous Headpieces of the Chinese New Year Parade

It's the Year of the Dragon.  Look out for a baby boom from those who celebrate the Lunar New Year.  On Sunday afternoon, NYC's Chinatown was host to a glorious display of cultural pageantry to celebrate the big holiday.

While you can usually count on colorful processions of dancing dragons and confetti canons, most people don't looks to the streets as a runway for great hairpieces and hats.  Some spectators wore  classic embellished chopsticks.  While riders on the floats donned millinery made from flowers, pearls, fur and jewels.

The Easter parade in New York has always been a showcase for flamboyant chapeaux, but this is street fashion with a little more depth. The accessories here were worn in tribute to the tribes and performing arts of China.  A fortuitous occasion indeed.
