A brilliant exploration of fashion's complex engagement with the
great art and artifacts of Catholic faith and practice Since
antiquity, religious beliefs and practices have inspired many of
the masterworks of art. These works of art have, in turn, fueled
the imagination of fashion designers in the 20th and 21st
centuries, yielding some of the most innovative creations in
costume history. Connecting significant religious art and artifacts
to their sartorial expressions, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the
Catholic Imagination provides a critical analysis of fashion's
engagement with notions of the divine. Exploring fashion's complex
and often controversial relationship with Catholicism, Heavenly
Bodies probes what dress reveals about the state of religion and
spirituality within contemporary culture, and how it may
manifest-or subvert-Catholic values and ideology. Art objects, such
as devotional paintings and altarpieces from The Met's collection,
are presented alongside fashions from designers including Cristobal
Balenciaga, Callot Soeurs, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, John
Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Madame Gres, Christian Lacroix, Karl
Lagerfeld, Jeanne Lanvin, Claire McCardell, Alexander McQueen,
Thierry Mugler, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Gianni Versace. The volume
also presents a selection of ecclesiastical vestments and
accessories from the Vatican collection, many of which have not
been published before. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of
