Tyger talk...: Tyger Fashion Fix

As promised, Tyger Eyes will not only keep its pulse on the hottest beauty trends, we'll also be giving you ladies (and gents) out there a regular fix of the hot fashion trends you need to know about. This week is all about this season's most coveted item, the CAPE.

This item certainly doesn't get the credit it deserves as a timeless wardrobe stable for every respectable fashionista, however, the cape is back with a bang for Winter 2010-2011. It is highly individualistic, can be dressed up or down, is flattering on women and men of all shapes, sizes and ages. It can take you from daytime or night and can be worn all year round. How many pieces can truly attest to such versatile properties? Very few in my humble opinion.

Last Friday, I met a friend in Spitalfields market for a quick bite to eat. As usual, I couldn't stop myself from checking out the latest offerings from London's up and coming designers. As expected, capes featured heavily in most of the outdoor wear stalls and they came in every style and colour you could possibly imagine. I picked up the most gorgeous cape from a South African designer by the name of Chantel Koning. Fashion favourite Kate Moss has included this hot pick in her final collection for topshop. If this isn't an indication that capes are here to stay, then I don't know what is. So ladies and gent's make sure you get your hands on this item as it is definitely a worthwhile investment.

Here are our favourite selection of capes:
