Fashion Exhibit at Met Inspired by Catholicism

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced a major exhibit planned for 2018 which examines how fashions have been inspired by Catholic iconography and style.  It will feature a large collection of garments and accessories on loan from the Vatican.  The show is entitled “Heavenly Bodies:  Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”  The New York Times reported on it today  see link.

Mr. Andrew Bolten,  curator of the exhibit, admitted that it could be a provocative exhibit.  But he said that he has “consulted with representatives from different Catholic groups including Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan.”  So I guess we can assume that all will be in the best of taste.

We will at any rate look forward to viewing the collection that is being brought over from the Vatican.
