well the good news is the butt plugs are facing the wrong way so they're not functional

This is really superb - I don't know how the man has time to put together such involved and fresh shows with everything else he's got going on. Jackets and coats in this collection are stellar and I imagine we're missing an awful lot seeing these in 2d - notice the colour blocking on the back of the jackets for example. The collage of patterns, materials and trinkets here is really fun and I love how playfully some of those jumpers look like art school projects.

Choice of venue/backdrop is terrific as well.

i'm glad walter took a stand against terrorism and that it's still a super fun collection.

the butt plug necklaces are a reference to paul mccarthy's tree sculpture like odradek said.

mccarthy was punched in the face during the installation and then the sculture was deflated by some people who disagreed with him. :/
