Trend of the week: The cape

Get wind of this season’s fashionable flight of fancy – the cape, says Annmarie O’Connor

INSPIRATION

The iconic cape continues its trend dominance for another season with Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Saint Laurent offering interpretations straight out of a Grimm’s fairytale. Think Little Red Riding Hood meets the enchanted forest with a supporting cast of Prince of Wales checks and tortoiseshell toggles worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
