Abstract

A detailed analysis of the contemporary fashion collections of some of the leading firms and designers reveals the links between two seemingly distant worlds such as the Middle Ages and the contemporary catwalk and visual culture. The comparative study between medieval religiosity and its expression from a profane approach in fashion, in haute couture, as well as in prêt-à-porter or ready-to-wear, will allow us to approach the use of gemmed crosses, reliquaries, Sacred Hearts , Arma Christi, etc., both in garments and in a wide selection of accessories. Added to this is the construction of the image of women as an object of worship-desire. A concept that, once again, has its roots in the medieval world, and in which we are presented with the personification of Nature as the embodiment of feminine essence and sexuality.
