Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination



The Met's spring 2018 Costume exhibition, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, explores the relationship and influence of Catholicism on fashion. If you frequent the annual fashion installation, this one will have a bit of a different feel.

For starters the exhibit is on view The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters in New York. Secondly, the exhibit is seamlessly integrated amongst the Met's Mid-evil collection and the exhibit is on view almost immediately after walking into the museum. This feels like less of a production and more of a natural extension of the Met's permanent collection. Nonetheless, the fashion on display features unworldly embellishment, craftsmanship, and opulence that could only be demanded under such holy circumstances.

Tips for visiting:
  • Make sure to visit The Anna Wintour Costume institute to see items that are on view for the first time ever outside of the Vatican
  • New York Residents can pay admission by donation
  • Check if your employer or bank is a corporate sponsor, they often offer discounted or free admission 
  • Visit during a weekday or early mornings on the weekends to avoid large groups
  • Make the trip up to the cloisters to see the rest of the exhibit, same day admission to the Cloister is included in your ticket

  1. That's very interesting post. Everyone wants to look stylish even at the gym and this is why they prefer purchasing designer stuff. Even I recently got amazing deals on the ultracor leggings and tops. They are not only beautiful but provide superb level of comfort too.

  3. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
