okay, so this is not old...

But it was created by one of my favorite sustainable designers -- Suzanne Rae. This heavenly, velvet, honey-colored cape took a little turn down her runway yesterday at New York Fashion Week and I just so happened to be on hand to snap this photo -- see the rest of my pics and Yuka Yoneda's story here. 


I love that Suzanne has no fear taking inspiration from the past, but unlike some designers -- *cough cough* banana republic *cough cough* -- she always adds her own daring twist. In this collection it was all about color, sexy draped backs and a little bit of humor.
