For three consecutive years, designers has captured the gestures and garments from the monasteries, to bring that into the Fashion shows, and therefore the new trends. Colours as black and white, long concealing garments, wide fabrics that hide the women´s shape, triangular hoods and capes have promoted this Nun look, so sober and abstemious.
From 2009 examples like: Rick Owens, Fendi, Jean Paul Gaultier or Bruno Pieters...

Pop Magazine in the autumn winter in 2008, did an editorial showing the relationship between fashion and religion, I selected this two images to show that sometimes, unfortunately not always people in the media treat religion with respect.
In 2011 (spring summer) Hussein Chayalan has proposed outfits that has such a spiritual strenght that somehow remind me to those paintings by Zurbaran about saints and monks, specially to Saint Seranpion. Surely, that might be just my impression.
I hope you take note of this gracefulness idea, because this trend might be continued not only in catwalks but downed to street style!
The visionary in this photo shoot was Muccia Prada (stylist), and the photographer Sebastian Faena.

Yves Saint Laurent 2010 A/W, presented an amazing (seriously, one of my favourites) collection. It had all this Nun feeling through all the show, but rather than resulting boring, or too dark... the combination of new materials like plastic films,with traditonals, and the sudden intense colours, made the show a total success.
In 1959 Audrey Hepburn stared "the Nun´s history" telling the life of a nun, how she was meant to be and the difficulties she found in her everyday way of living. Now that watching classics is so common among people in our twenties, please rescue this movie, becasue is a must be seen.
