But what is poised to becoming the season’s must-haves were the fringed capes and matching bucket bags that were decidedly bohemian. Continue reading

Wang’s shapes were straight out of the archives: a cocoon coat, rounded jackets with stand-up collars, bubble skirts—all of it decorated to the hilt with paste jewelry, like the ladies would’ve done back in the day, only with the real stuff.
