Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination Part II

“Heavenly Bodies” features the work of designers who for the most part were raised in the roman Catholic tradition. While their current relationships to Catholicism vary, most acknowledge its enduring influence on their imaginations. On the surface, this influence is expressed through explicit Catholic imagery and symbolism… On a deeper level, it manifests as a reliance on storytelling, and specifically on metaphor - which sociologist Andrew Greeley describes as the essential characteristic of a particular sensibility he defines as “the Catholic Imagination. -The MET

“Catholics live in an enchanted world, a world of statues and holy water, stained glass and votive candles, saints and religious medals, rosary beads and holy pictures. But these Catholic paraphernalia are mere hints of a deeper and more pervasive religious sensibility that inclines Catholics to see the Holy lurking in creation.” - Andrew Greeley, “The Catholic Imagination” (2000)
