Unsolved Mysteries: Alexander Wang pink jacket with cutout back

Now, this would be just perfect with The Back Vent Dress, from yesterday, no? In fact, we think the two might actually have been made for each other. Well, we can't really think of any other reason you'd need a bright pink 80s blazer with a giant hole in the back.
Can you?
(if you can, this is by Alexander Wang, and it's $795 from Shopbop. We hate to sound like our mothers, here, but if we were paying that much for a jacket, we'd want the whole thing, with no bits missing, thanksverymuch.)
At least it does not have the creepy ruffle around the opening.
What is with that model’s posture? She looks like she is heavily weighed down under the burden of being photographed in that jacket!
YAY! More for the Whale-people
Oh, also..from the front it looks like one of those sort of..tabardy/overall things that people make cleaners wear so they all look uniform.
She has taken on a classic zombie pose for some reason. Also, the jacket is bizarre.
Hmm. I like it from the front, but the back, ehh. Open backs + blazers = too much!
I like Alexander Wang, I like the front of the blazer, but the back is just…why?
