It’s time to be controversial but Clair The Cape Queen and the editor have a strong feeling this is the best shoot to date. Sometimes it’s hard to know why, but with such an elegant rain cape to the fore, combined with the excellent post-war …

You’ll find Longnor nestling in the Peak District and, if you’re lucky, you might spot the Cape Queen there too. Clair took to the highways of Staffordshire for some architectural exploration and took a cape with her, in this case her heavy 1970s one. And …

A friend of Pluvmantelo told us ‘the shinier the cape, the closer to God’ and it’s certainly a sentiment we’d agree with. And The Cape Queen took that shiny and God theme further as she explored Longnor’s church. The day was bright, the cape was …

Sunny, yes: but is that any reason not to be wearing a cape? Clair The Cape Queen needs no downpour-induced excuse to get caped and on a bright sunny day her longer Rukka cape really looked the part as she swished through the streets of …

Looking back just a few weeks to that VERY wet day in Macclesfield it’s lucky Clair The Cape Queen was more than adequately prepared for the deluge to come. And rain it did, to paraphrase Sister Rosetta Tharpe. But the 1970s plastic cape did the …

We’ve decided there aren’t enough black and white images of The Cape Queen, so it’s time to make up for that. And here’s a selection from our recent Congleton trip. No further comment’s needed from us, but what do you think? Should there be more …

What a contrast to that cape-right rainy day in Macclesfield, but while Congleton was bathed in sun that didn’t stop The Cape Queen getting, well, caped-up for some town-centre shopping. This time it was a short Rukka number that’s not been worn very much but …

That Macclesfield day more than summed up the usefulness of an old-school cape, whose rain shrugging-off prowess came to the fore as the skies opened up. And in the homely surrounds of Macclesfield, Clair The Cape Queen’s cape laughed off the rain as it fell …

A few days after The Cape Queen had the biblical-like dousing in Macclesfield she set off for Congleton, accompanied by much more friendly weather. The town’s filled with fine red-brick architecture and many buildings date back a few centuries – these made a top-class backdrop …
