Non-native Italian, I am writing from the outside looking in. While fashion is a global concept, I’ve noticed a trend predominately in Florence since I’ve been here:  Trash bag coats. I’m sure that there is some technical term that I’m not sure of for this material, but to me it looks like a trash bag. Ladies and gents, I could probably grab one of the trash bags in my apartment, stuff it with cotton balls, cinch it with string and wear it. I saw most of them in black or gray, but it wasn’t until I came across this woman wearing a purple “trash bag coat” that I appreciated it just a fraction. For the record, trash bags can be worn correctly. This woman rocks it!
