Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) +JMJ I'm trying to find a full-length photo of this rather unappealing chasuble. I have found some with a bit more shown: [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PkACp3wj2cA/TcCJkkjkmiI/AAAAAAAAJ8k/1VGK_hfMksQ/s320/Vescovo_1_672-458_resize.jpg[/img] [img]http://ris.fashion.telegraph.co.uk/RichImageService.svc/imagecontent/1/TMG8489846/m/vicar220_1886145a.jpg[/img] I guess Armani has a 'hideaway' on the Island where the Bishop was dedicating/inaugurating a new church, hence the sea theme. Also, it is green? I thought we were in Easter... vestments are white, no? I'd like to see the rest in the set. Actually, by seeing more of it, it does look a bit better. By cutting off the bottom half, I assumed the seaweed, starfish, et all continued to the hem of the garment. That would have been really tacky. I guess it is growing on me... but it doesn't really bring my thoughts to Christ nor the Eucharist looking at it. I just find the wheat & grapes too stylized and hidden. I don't think I would have realized they were even there if the article hadn't mentioned them. Plus, his mitre doesn't match... that is a terrible faux pas. You would think Armani would have thought of that... Also, some interesting quotes in the story: [color="#333333"][font="arial, sans-serif"][size="4"][quote]Known as a free thinker within the church...[/quote][/size][/font][/color] [color="#333333"][font="arial, sans-serif"][size="4"][quote][/size][/font][/color][color="#333333"][font="arial, sans-serif"][size="4"]Mogavero said the vestments had turned heads, particularly among female parishioners...[/size][/font][/color][color="#333333"][font="arial, sans-serif"][size="4"][/quote][/size][/font][/color] Edited May 4, 2011 by Piccoli Fiori JMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseFound Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Trust the Italians to come up with something like this. Gotta love 'em :-) But I don't like it. It looks tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJon16 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Call me crazy, (or Italian) but I kinda like it. I always was a sucker for silk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
