Case in point, lookee what Jil Sander came out with this winter:

Punchneedle embroidered coats. Whodathought?
Even more exciting, at least to me, is the continuing popularity of the maxi dress. With these I think handmade is definitely the way to go. I mean, the possibilities!
Look at this one, made with Anna Maria Horner's "Good Folks" fabric line. C'est fabuleux, oui?

I'm totally gonna have to make me one. I could get the "Village Market" fabric set and more or less make the dress in the photo. Or I could go thrifting and find myself about four yards (that's a guess at how much it would take) of repurpose-able fabric. Either way, it's less expensive than $100 + for any of these, lovely though they are.
