The devil may wear Prada, but a Sicilian bishop has set out to show Satan does not have a stranglehold on designer clothing by ordering new vestments from Giorgio Armani.
Bishop Domenico Mogavero drew compliments from churchgoers when he turned out for mass on Monday on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria in green silk vestments designed by Armani and decorated with symbols of vines, wheat, shells and starfish.
“This is not all about having brands in church or indulging in the fashion of the moment, but about wearing something beautiful to give glory to God,” said Mogavero, 64, who donned the vestments at a ceremony for the opening of a church on the tiny volcanic island.
