ELIZABETH AND JAMES Kimono-Sleeve Cropped Blazer

Part cape, part menswear-inspired blazer, this cropped kimono-style jacket delivers the couture-calibre tailoring and details that Elizabeth and James --by the Olsen-powerhouse-twins-- has become known for.
Done in a smooth viscose fabrication, this universally figure-flattering piece moves with your body yet never binds, pulling your look together in an easy, cocoon silhouette that's oh so lovely and chic.

VANESSA BRUNO Cape Sleeve Dress

Vanessa Bruno is one of those French designers who’s so perfect that all the ladies we know are always drooling over her clothes in their flawlessness.
Cape-sleeved pieces are a subtle interpretation of the kimono sleeve, and we’ve always been a huge fan of that trend. With dramatic yet comfortable sleeves, a nipped-in waist, and a universally flattering length, this design by Vanessa Bruno would look good on anyone.


P.S.: Not only does Bruno produce lust-after items season after season, but the serene beauty of her creations spills over into her poetic campaigns as well. This one is for Spring/Summer 2010.

(WARNING: This clip will make you want to move to Paris, wear your hair in a messy bun, and prance around in lacey camisoles and delicate pastels to the sounds of piano virtuoso Gonzales. And dang, who else but Lou Dillon to make stomping around in a cloud of chalk dust look so cool?)
