If at age 11 you cried yourself to sleep over not receiving an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, rejoice! You can still live out your magical fantasies, well sartorially at least, through Lindsey Thornburg's cloaks.
Growing up in Aspen, Colorado, Thornburg studied philosophy (to make mystical stones, who knows?) in Santa Barbara and attended design school in Los Angeles, where she made her first dresses under the label Fabric. A trip to Machu Picchu in 2006 and her collection of Pendleton blankets inspired her to create a cloak collection. The indigenous prints of many of Thornburg's designs perfectly complement the draped silhouette of a cloak, resulting in an edgier alternative to the good old jacket or coat. If you're not really the cloak wearing kind (I guess muggles deserve pretty things too), Thornburg also makes other ready-to-wear pieces that are equally stunning.
