The parka debuted at the brand’s Fall 2018 runway show in March during Paris Fashion Week, and, now, it’s available for pre-sale on Matches Fashion and Barney’s. (“Finally!” said no one ever.)

It goes to show you that sometimes fashion can be a gorgeous haute couture gown that takes months to create, and other times it’s literally putting one jacket on top of the other to create one giant f*cking parka.

But let’s give credit where it’s due—because when it comes to layering clothes, Joey was WAY ahead of the trend.
