I personally dislike the coats! There is some creativity in the designing but I just don't think it's very practical. He even said himself that they were intended to be "winter coats" but the fabric was made of felt and ended up being more of a sculptural concept. Mainstream people anywhere would not wear that, to stay warm. I believe fashion should be practical.

Bill is amazing! I love that he can just pull these analogous things out, or give a history like with down coats. And these coats are amazing!

He sort of brought the mediums to a blind date, in order to create a relationship between art and fashion. The analysis was concise, not too in-depth, um Bill's cool. :)

Bill's juxtaposition with Picasso's cubist form, or the cutout as well as Matisse's hue tone, is interesting.

Brilliant, clownish, conceptual and faboulous.
