Images of feathery speckled curtain fabrics, home textiles, furniture upholstery and even the facades of cabinets. Portuguese designers, for example, decided to decorate the doors of the dresser with the figure of a golden peacock, and cover the facades of the wardrobe with real feathers (there are hundreds of them here!). Fashion print appeared in the collections of well-known brands: Designers Guild, Sanderson, JAB Anstoetz and others.

Moreover, designers are mostly interested in exotic birds: hummingbirds, cockatoo, peacocks. Remember how Munchhausen was scared when, after succumbing to his persuasion, the swaggering peacock still "sang"? These birds are not melodic, and they make something like cawing. What is really beautiful about them is the plumage that has long inspired artists. Images of peacock feathers were especially popular in eastern cultures. The stylized pattern even got a separate name - “peacock eye”.

No less lush, bright dress, the birds of paradise and hummingbirds. Their images can serve as a winning decorative motif. In addition, this summer, tropics are in fashion not only as a tourist destination, but also as a visual artistic series that is in demand both on the catwalk and in design.
