Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination in MET

Share/Bookmark

This thematic exhibition featured a dialogue between fashion and masterworks of medieval art in The Met collection to examine fashion’s ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism. The museum’s largest show ever, “Heavenly Bodies” showcased more than 40 liturgical garments on loan from the Vatican. Catholic iconography has long inspired designers, from Coco Chanel to Gianni Versace to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Catholicism, of course, has nearly 2,000 years of symbols to rely on, and so its influence looms large on fashion.

2016 Coney Island Mermaid Parade in NYC

Share/Bookmark

Each year, thousands of spectators flock to Surf Avenue, Coney Island’s main drag, to watch King Neptune and Queen Mermaid lead a procession of beglittered seminude marchers in costumes through the neighborhood. Three thousand marchers and half a million spectators attended to see the celebration of culture and art, which featured floats, marching band and mermaids. The Mermaid Parade specifically was founded in 1983 with 3 goals: it brings mythology to life for local residents who live on streets named Mermaid and Neptune ; it creates self-esteem in a district that is often disregarded as “entertainment”; and it lets artistic New Yorkers find self-expression in public.
