When you think of capes, you probably think of superheroes, villains, wizards or the obvious thought of vampires. Well gone are the days where Count Dracula and Superman are rocking the latest fashion. Capes are no longer for the dead and frightful or out of this world, but for the chic and fashionable. This soon to be must have piece for the wardrobe has been seen on the runways this past season and I doubt you have seen the last of this trend. The piece can be dressed up or dressed down. Jeans, pants, skirts, joggers, you name it you can wear it with anything and everything.
As seen in Marc Jacobs F/W 2019 collection ,“Grand shapes were back again for Fall, but this time Jacobs was looking in the mirror, rather than at the couturiers of old. His repertoire is full of cloth coats and capes, of shredded tulle party dresses, of A-line skirts and crewnecks, of Prince of Wales pantsuits. Only here, in many cases, they were taken to extremes, the coats and capes pumped up with air, the dresses made more expressive with layers of crinolines. Stephen Jones–designed hats on nearly every model added inches to their stature.” ( Vogue Runway)
Miu Miu wasn’t far behind with the arsenal of capes, as well as many camo inspired ensembles.
