Ducks Through The Decades: A Timeline Of Duck Fashion Show Trends

Are you in the middle of something? Doesn't matter, stop whatever it is, we're reviewing the very best fits from every duck fashion show. That's right, there are duck fashions shows. And every year, the ducks come to serve looks. So this year we are going on a journey back in time to review our favorite outfits. In case you missed the memo, this is single handedly the most serotonin inducing thing ever. Like, come on, ducks wearing dapper costumes and prancing around? Yes please.

According to My Modern Met, the duck fashion shows, which are thrown as part of the Sydney Royal Easter Show, were started by a farmer in Australia named Brian Harrington. ". He's run it for the past three decades, and works with a professional dressmaker who individually styles each duck to a theme or era. They've covered daywear, evening attire, bridal outfits, and more. Currently, they're showcasing costumes from the 1800's era as well as favorites from the past."

Pip pip Watson! We love this group photo, these outfits honestly knocked it straight out of the park, such a good fashion moment from the 2008 show. The question is, which of the dapper ducks is Watson, and which is Sherlock Holmes?

Wow, princess duck is in the building. We've said it before and we'll say it again, this entire look is giving off big duck energy and we love it. Shout out to the costume designer of this one, you killed it!
