The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently opened a new show which explores how the Catholic Church has influenced the world of fashion. At the press preview, I had the chance to sit down and talk for a few minutes with the Costume Institute's Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton. You might enjoy my story about the exhibit for Christie's here!
Love the title - "from the cloisters to the catwalk". Clever, the entire article wonderfully written. You write with enthusiasm but leave the final analysis to the reader.
ReplyDeleteI would attend the exhibit to see what sort of influence the Vatican had on designers, Balenciaga and Chanel but I've always been a tad put off when viewing riches garnered by any religious order. So that part, not so much.
Hi Gail, Thanks about the article!
