This is for when you're

This is for when you're having one of those Hunchback of Notre Dame days. ;-) I know Kawakubo's work is very important conceptually, but I think it tends to work better as scuplture than as something to wear. If I were six feet tall and rail-thin, I'd love the trench coat on the MCAD website.
