Gucci is Rumored to be Held Fashion Show at Westminster Abbey.
For more than a millennium some of the greatest figures in British history have walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey, many are married, or then prayed when closing ages.
Now, there is another history that will tertoreh in Westminster Abbey. Gucci, a leading fashion brand, is planning a fashion show at a church almost 1,000 years old it.
Italian label next June it will showcase a collection of cruise on the porch of the convent. Model will waddle in a sacred place for the churchmen, which is about 15 meters from the location of the wedding of Duke of Cambridge, aka Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci, absurdly happy with the idea. He called it a moment of 'magis'.
On the other hand, the priests found to make Westminster Abbey as the location of the fashion show is like 'Disney'-fication
"I think it was like 'Disney'-fication of all traditional sacred space in this country," said Reverend Peter Owen-Jones told the Independent.
He continued, the use of the church beyond the things that smell can confuse religion and church functions.
"The Church iconic center of Christianity. It comes to spiritual peace and love. Not part of capitalism, "added Owen-Jones." It means we're in the process of selling the soul for a pair of pants. "
Indeed, the fashion show is not held in gejera. But only in the foyer. In addition, Gucci also has obtained an agreement with the Abbey. On the other hand, the vestibule of the church over the last few years, often hired the corporation for the location of various events.
"So far the reaction is positive," said the spokesman who declined to be named.
Nevertheless, discordant sound is also coming from the observer of fashion. "Is not it a fashion show in the church is a strange concept?" Says critic Mode and Director of the New York Times Fashion Vanessa Friedman through his Twitter account.
