Love It or Hate It? Gaultier Technical Tartan Trench Coat

Jean-Paul Gaultier is fashion’s enduring renegade. His latest collection, inspired by the tartans of the Highland, is certainly a love it or hate it kind of collection. Take this Gaultier Technical Tartan Trench Coat, which you can pre-order through Saks for $4135. The price is rather high for something that doesn’t exactly seem like a wardrobe staple. It reminds me of the packaging for Scotch tape actually. But I do love Gaultier’s flair for the original and unexpected. I’m undecided. What do you think?
