Hanae Mori Sheer Flower Cape and Gown

A breathtaking example of Hanae Mori’s poetic approach to fashion, this vintage sheer cape and gown set encapsulates the legendary designer’s fusion of East and West, tradition and modernity. Rendered in whisper-weight chiffon, the ensemble floats with ethereal lightness, enveloping the wearer in a monochrome dream of oversized camellia blooms—Mori’s signature flower, evoking femininity, resilience, and grace.

The gown beneath is cut in a sleek, column silhouette, allowing the delicately layered cape to take center stage. Printed with a soft-focus grayscale floral motif, the cape drapes gently over the shoulders with a weightless elegance, featuring handkerchief edges that enhance its fluid movement. The print—precision-dotted to create subtle depth and shadow—reads almost like an airbrushed painting, a hallmark of Mori’s couture-trained eye.

Perfect for evening wear, art galas, or formal events where quiet drama is key, this piece is both rare and timeless. It is a wearable work of art, channeling Hanae Mori’s belief that fashion should feel as light and effortless as the flutter of a butterfly’s wings.
