The COVID Coat

 

I recently visited the Phoenix Art Museum to see two new exhibits.  One of the exhibits was all about the art of fashion and a recognition of The Arizona Costume Institute which has been a part of the museum since 1966.  This coat was a recent museum purchase with funds from a special endowment for fashion items. It immediately caught my eye when I entered the gallery. 

I decided to include a photo of the description information so you could read the museum's description.

I have to admit, it is an interesting concept in an artistic way.  It certainly isn't something anyone would actually wear.  Or is it?

  2. There are some people who would wear it, not I

  3. It would be a statement to wear, for sure, but it might be hard to sit down!

  4. It certainly puts out the message to "leave me alone".

  7. I think it represents what went on with Covid perfectly.
