Yes, Capes! They are all over the runway in New York for the Fall '13 collections. Capes as chic dress covers seen at Zac Posen and Naeem Khan or as utilitarian outerwear presented by Vera Wang and Derek Lam to bejeweled boho versions at Oscar de la Renta. There is nothing quite like the movement from a long, flowing cape; it seems to add so much mystery and elegance. My favorite capes from the New York collections are the dynamic jersey versions from Donna Karan (see previous blog entry). So bold yet so feminine.
I can't help but think this trend was inspired by none other than the fabulous Tom Ford; his stunning white dress/cape ensemble worn by Gwyneth Paltrow at last Year's Oscars was at the tip of every fashion editor and fashionista's panting tongues - it was just a question of time before his vision would surface with an encore from his peers.
Now to find out what Paris, Milan and London have (or rather, don't have) up their sleeves for their Fall 2013 collections.
