Inspired By: Capes

By -
Lupita Nyong'o and Amy Adams at the Globes and Cyndi Lauper at the Grammys all had something in common -- capes. I can't hide it any more. I suffer from cape lust. (Sorry, Eda Mode.)

Capes are simple shapes that provide high drama. Simple drama is my jam. I also happen to swoon for crazy sleeves, but my sleeves and coats are at war. This cannot happen in the year of the POLAR VORTEX (vortex vortex). Capes to the rescue. My current goal is to have one of these for spring even if I have to make it myself. Pictures if when it happens.

Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print.

His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!

I love Miu Miu's harlequin themed show from Spring Summer 2008, especially this sweetly sexy striped mini dress. Kensie created a cute green version that's more wearable for everyday life. It's $118 at Macy's and perfect for spring. Now if I could find an inexpensive version of that show's teacup heels... Runway image: style.com .
