For decades, the Catholic conversation on dress has decried the loss of decency in today's fashions. However, indecency is just one symptom of the ravaging disease that has made our world a sartorial wasteland. This disease is a hatred of beauty and a glorification of ugliness. It comes in many subtle forms, but its rotten fruits are all around us. The ugliness of our clothing has a devastating effect on our souls. It is time for Catholics to demand something better. In this book, Anna Kalinowska draws on Church teachings, the Catholic philosophical tradition, and fundamental principles of art to diagnose insidious and far-reaching problems with today's fashions. She argues that the quest for normalcy in a world where normal is ugly leads to the loss of souls, and she provides an alternative to the losing strategy that would have us "just fit in." Written for anyone interested in cultivating beauty in everyday life, Clothed With Beauty provides concrete artistic instruction along with answers to such perplexing questions as:
- What exactly does it take for clothing to be beautiful?
- Why are many of today's modest options actually so unattractive?
- Can clothing be both modest and beautiful?
- Is the quest for beautiful clothing a kind of vanity or waste of time?
- How do we begin a restoration of the art of dress?
