Toulouse, France – The famous Black Madonna of the Sea Bream needs a new wardrobe. According to our colleagues from
La Dépêche , the Toulouse association responsible for her protection contacted ten of the most fashionable fashion designers to agree to design new dresses for her.
A hand-embroidered robe for every Christian calendar occasion in addition to her usual attire. The black Virgin and Child located in the Basilica of La Daurade and venerated by pregnant women for centuries, has seen its wardrobe decrepit over the years and manipulations.
The association for the promotion of the heritage of the sea bream, failing to be able to count on the embroiderers, long gone, called on the big names in current haute couture:Valentino, Prada, Gucci, Christian Lacroix or Jean-Paul Gaultier, only capable of renewing a wardrobe full of finesse, embroidery and lace.
The call from the association dates from last week and it seems that no couturier has yet answered.
