Los Angeles: Burberry ‘The Cape Reimagined’ Exhibit

‘The Cape Reimagined’  an exhibition of Burberry’s limited edition made-to-order couture capes, is now on display at Burberry’s Beverly Hills flagship store until April 30, 2017.  If you’re in Los Angeles or visiting as a tourist, this is an exhibit worth seeing.  Burberry has been making exquisite capes for years, as far back as World War I by my recollection.

The Burberry Capes on display are truly works of art.

‘The Cape Reimagined’ exhibit  features  these Burberry capes : The Baroque, The Beaded Feather, The Ceramic Lace, The Chandelier, The Embroidered Scallop, The Gem Hood, The Jewel, The Metallic Pearl and The Silver Wing.

The capes in the exhibit were first introduced as part of the Burberry February 2017  London Fashion Week show finale.  Each cape is truly a work of art.
