It's a bit of a toughie to follow a post with THAT stupendous jacket but thankfully a fashion student from Chicago called Danny was here to save the day from becoming a roomful of tumbleweed in Style Bubble HQ. He tipped me off about Chicago-based duo Creatures of the Wind. Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters started their label only a few seasons ago but have already picked up the support of stockists like Stand Up Comedy and Chicago-based Hejfina. Actually this tip-off comes well-timed with Jennine from The Coveted, who I FINALLY met in Amsterdam, telling me she's moving again from Germany to Chicago. With a gust of wind, she can float away in Creatures of the Wind's A/W 09 collection of sheer black sweeping ruffles of chiffon and dresses that are longer in length (a current gripe of mine that there aren't enough past-knee length things…).
I’m absolutely in love with the sheer cape. Bravo, Creatures of the Wind (and thank you for sharing)!
Love,

Wow, those capes! Will give me nightmares when I see someone posing like that model did but I’d love to wear them! To scare other girls, too. 😀
love the last two!!
Capes = love.
TELL me about the “not enough past the knee” things. It’s friggin IMPOSSIBLE to find a past the knee skirt or dress these days apart from in M&S. It’s driving me nuts!
Im in love. I love sheer fabrics.
Yay Chicago fashion!
The sheer capes really remind me of Stevie Nicks – wonderful!
absolutely beautiful
