The Cape - hot or hideous?

With each new season, it becomes more and more apparent that the fashion industry is out to test me. It’s almost as if, prior to designing the collections, all the fashion designers get together, in one of their fabulously chic townhouses no doubt, and decide to re-invent some hideous
