Antonio Banderas Is Attending Fashion School So He Can Bring Back... The Cape!

September 13, 2015

A few weeks ago, Antonio Banderas tweeted from the inside of a classroom at Central Saint Martins, a fashion school in London with an outstanding reputation. And now, we know why he's there.

"I'm here to gain knowledge, basically," he said in an interview with 1Granary. "I got to a point where I've done 92 movies — I am not going to stop — I'm going to continue doing movies and producing, and I want to direct more—but there were other things in my life that I was interested in."

The Zorro star added that there's one piece in particular he knows he wants to resurrect: the cape.

"There is one garment that I love that was lost in menswear a long time ago, and I would like to experiment with it: the cape," he said. "For me, it's actually easier than a coat, you walk into a place and you just BOOM! throw it off."

Make this happen, Antonio. PLEASE let capes make a comeback in my lifetime!
