BDMOTP is here in Madrid, ready to kick off another edition of MB Fashion Week Madrid. The very first show of the season, Amaya Arzuaga, (who recently started including menswear into her collections) did not disappoint. The catwalk this season embodied what I consider to be one of the greatest fashion classics of all time: the cape.

Obviously the cape for men is walks a fine line…you really don´t want to go overboard and look like you are in a Harry Potter or Scrooge movie. But when done correctly, the cape can be amazing for men. Especially when the trend is not executed in full-maybe just a coat inspired by the cape design, or a small silhouette change. We also see some retro colors and silhouettes, like the tan suit.

Arzuaga also used a large variety of fabrics. Just within menswear we see cotton, knits, leather, fur, and even vinyl (everyone needs a waterproof raincoat!). It wouldn´t be a Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection without fur, of course. Cuffed pants made an appearance and so did the color evergreen, which I haven´t actually seen a lot of for the coming season.

BDMOTP favorite: fur vests, tan suit, evergreen…well, everything!
