Fashionable nuns!

Is fashion finding religion? Lots of shows for the winter season seems to have a religious atmosphere. On many catwalks were the models holding rosary beads and walked to chants. There were an almost medieval touch to many of the huge designers collections. As Bruno Pieters explained it, "Nuns were not an inspiration - more the result, I think." But it's of cause not the first time designers change religion into fashion. One of the most outstanding examples of that would be the haute couture collection John Galliano made for Dior in the spring of 2006. 

Fashionable nuns and priests, why not?
