Designers Swear by Religious Inspiration for A/W Runways

The stunning holy looks featured above are from Fendi, Alexander McQueen, Rue du Mail, John Galliano, Matthew Ames, Bruno Pieters, Giambattista Valli, Marc Jacobs, and Jean Paul Gaultier, respectively.

Is there nun better than religious fashion? I say, hallelujah!
