Beautifully made and subtly bizarre, this is a jacket that, while beautiful, just doesn't seem to fit. Is it to be used in a performance? Possibly, but then why lock it in a box? The truth is that this is an article of clothing that has no practical use other than for one to contemplate it and admire its beauty and the skill of the artist's execution.
