Clothing Fashion

Mongolian wool and silk, cut short to sit at the shoulders. Clothing here is presently a single contemporary short cape or shoulder wrap from China, made of Mongolian wool and silk. Garments in this section are chosen the way a textile is chosen, for the hand of the cloth and the cut. Wool from the herds of the Mongolian steppe is generally valued for warmth without much weight, and silk brings a soft sheen against it.

The cape is cut to sit across the shoulders rather than hang to the waist, an easy layer over a sweater or a dress through the colder months. Between wearings it can rest over the back of a chair, where it does no harm to the look of a room. Pieces come and go in this section as they are found. A wardrobe of one, for now, and in no particular hurry.
