CAPES and cape style jackets are not just for superheroes anymore; designers and models alike are showing the world that they are a continuing trend during this season’s fashion weeks. Over the past few seasons, the cape has been showing up on runways all around the world. While the idea of a cape may at first frighten many a fashionista, the idea behind this cape trend is the cut of jacket that would be compared to a loose fitting shrug or wrap, which has always been a hit on the runway. Aren’t long tailed tuxedos currently worn by those willing to bleed over the edge harkening back to an era of otherworldly elegance in the 1960s? Then it only begs asking, why not a cape!?

Cape style jacket was a prominent feature on the European runways for A/W 09/10 collection.
