Jean-Charles de Castalbajac has developed ceremonial clothing for 700 clergy when Notre-Dame Cathedral Reopens.
In 1997, he created rainbow-bedecked outfits for 500 bishops, 5,000 priests and a million young people attending the Church’s World Youth Day celebration in, from T-shirtsto the chasuble worn by Pope John Paul II. It was the first time an artist or fashion designer had collaborated with the Vatican. “The Pope said to me the next day, ‘You used color as the cement of faith,'” De Castelbajac reminisced over the phone to WWD.
He has designed 2,000 chasubles, dalmatics and stoles to be worn by 700 bishops, priests and deacons for three days of reopening celebrations starting Dec. 7 through to Whit Sunday next June. They will subsequently be worn for important occasions on the Christian calendar, and each parish of Paris will be entrusted with a chasuble.
