Sartorial Savior

I saw an article about the Pope's shoes yesterday.

Yep.

Apparently, there are rumors floating around about the Pope’s suspiciously fashionable footwear: that they may, in fact, be made by Prada. So, the Vatican came out with a statement refuting these scurrilous rumors—indicating that he does not wear Prada shoes after all, but the shoes of a cobbler from Novona, Italy (that’s going to be good for that guy’s business—Papal props).

Though this article was full of gems--including that his Holiness’ “brightly colored red shoes and attractive sunglasses have prompted many to deem him a 'style icon' "-- my favorite was the assertion of a Spanish writer named, incidentally, Prada.

“The Pope is not dressed by Prada but by Christ," he said.

As if JC didn’t have enough to do, now it appears the Thou-Shalt-Nots may extend to fashion faux-pas.
