Iconic, out of this world vintage cape by Bill Gibb, from the Fall/Winter 1976 Byzantine collection (see drawing reference amongst photos here). Designed in collaboration with close friend Kaffe Fasset, this piece features an incredible geometric intarsia inspired by Moorish arches, in a striking color combo consisting of grey-white and purple on black. Lovely cut that is essentially a full circle, with stitched passages for the arm to slide through on each side. Capelet layer on top matches the trim, which features a zig zag design throughout. Self tie closure at front - one at the neck and one below the bust line. An essential piece of this legendary designer's legacy.
