Dolce & Gabbana Debuts A Little "Vatican Red"
At their Fall/ Winter 2014 runway show in Milan on Sunday, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana borrowed heavily from Italian religious imagery.
Could Ratzinger have inspired Dolce & Gabbana's latest collection? From the looks of what came down the runway on Sunday afternoon in Milan -- the departing papa may have been the guiding light behind the collection. The show featured a sea of gold-encrusted dresses covered in imagery that appeared to be borrowed directly from the 6th-century Byzantine mosaics of the San Vitale basilica in Ravenna. But perhaps most dramatic was the finale, in which a troupe of models stormed the runway in gilded lace dresses in Vatican red.

Did The Met Ruin Punk?
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's new costume exhibition, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, tries to pay homage to the gritty, subversive, late-1970s movement. But has punk-inspired high fashion added to its legacy-or destroyed it?
