Capes of the 1950s


"The 1950's Cape

The cape emerged again as an updated fashion statement in the 1950s.  Paris designers often favoured simplified lines and for bulky tweedy, check and mohair fabrics the easy lines of a cloak were perfect to show the fabric to perfection.
A short cape was promoted in 1955 and this example shows a picture from a magazine of 1955.
