Indeed. I hate the whole symbolism thing, but you can't escape it with this birdcage around a woman thing. I hate that I am thinking that way. LOL, violet. Indeed.

They must have different definitions of those words than I do in relation to clothing. “Fully functional wearable…”

For like, everything. Yeah Evil, I was trying to stay away from the symbolism word, but the birdcage may just be the most perfect metaphor ever. For like, everything.

Check out the rest of the site too - among other things, there is a Habitrail skirt and a very glamorous dress made of binder clips. The cage has wheels at the bottom so she can maneuver around.

I'm not an artsy-type (but I have been known to f... nevermind). So I don't agree that "This dress screams "fabulous"". Nor do I think it's "Hot" or "Fierce", nor do I think it "pops". C'mon people... it's a BIRDCAGE DRESS. A. BIRD. CAGE. DRESS. Sometimes the ridiculous is art, but most of the time it's just ridiculous. Right on, DaveL!!!

This dress screams "fabulous", makes no apologies for it, and though I myself am not fond of bird cages being that I have to clean one every week and I associate them with budgie poop, there's something so out there about this that I have to love. Would I wear it if given the opportunity? No. Not unless I was invited to a high end costume party by some random noble family. Since that's never going to happen, then it would be safe to say never. I generally hate artsy fartsy overanalysis of the subjective, which is what art ultimately is, but this sort of inspires me to use words like "appreciation" and "symbolic".

Sort of showing how fashion and beauty can be cages themselves. But eh, nothing amazing or all that original. I think it’s a neat concept.

This is...I don't know....I just kind of love it. But I have a birdcage thing. They are somehow deeply sick and beautiful at the same time. A cage? For birds? Birds being among the only living things that can do something so amazing as FLY?? It's so obscene and awesome.
