Spring 2019’s series of fall Fashion Weeks kicked off the season on Friday, Feb. 8 in New York City. The first in the tour of the world’s most bustling cities featuring the most incredible runway shows, New York Fashion Week was filled with feathers, fluff and frill. The rest of the Fashion Week locations followed suit, as designers debuted over-the-top pieces highlighting the upcoming fall season’s favorite trend.

Oscar de la Renta’s fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear collection kept things pretty neutral, but included grand, intricately designed dresses. A true modern wedding dress, everyone is saying “I do” to de la Renta’s one-shoulder feather gown. The late-designer’s official Instagram account posted a picture of the dress of February 12 saying, “Ethereal feathered frocks are a dream backstage,” and VALLEY couldn’t agree more. This dress is already so popular that acclaimed actress Lupita Nyong’o wore it to the 91st annual Oscars.

Moncler described the line of colorful and intricately patterned pieces as “couture that connects cultures” on their Instagram, as it is inspired by Ethiopian artisans.
