- Society & Culture
The link between fashion and religion is much closer than one might imagine. Indeed, fashion has always drawn inspiration from sacred iconography and cult objects as underlined by Fiona Dieffenbacher, associate professor at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Carol Woolton, jewelry historian, speaks about the history of symbols, focusing on their meanings beyond religion on culture, spirituality and the desire for self-expression. Monsignor Alberto Rocca, director of the Veneranda Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, explains what a symbol is and why Dolce&Gabbana's use of crosses, rosaries and sacred hearts is a sign of homage and devotion.
