😍 from the product description:

COTTON CANDY-COLORED GOAT HIDES ARE WATER-JET CUT INTO NETTING AND LINKED TOGETHER TO CREATE MY BRUTALIST TOWER INTERPRETATION OF MARLENE DIETRICH’S LEGENDARY SWANSDOWN COAT WORN DURING HER FINAL CABARET YEARS. I’VE OFTEN REFERRED TO MY ADMIRATION FOR MARLENE DIETRICH AND THE DIGNIFIED SEQUENCE OF HER LIFE’S STAGES:

PHASE ONE AS A STEELY GLITTERING SEXUAL PROVOCATEUR
PHASE TWO AS AN EXAMPLE OF DUTY AND SERVICE DURING WARTIME
PHASE THREE AS A TIGHTLY-CONTROLLED CABARET ACT, SPARINGLY STAGED WITH ONLY A SHEER DRESS, A HUGE WHITE CLOUD OF A COAT AND A PINK SPOTLIGHT.

SHE ALWAYS STRUCK ME AS HAVING A VERY ATTRACTIVE MIX OF MORALITY AND ARTIFICE WITH A STRONG SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND GRIT
