There is a lot to unpack—literally and figuratively—in the Metropolitan Museum's Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” which closes on September 2. It's about nature and the cycle of life (and as it turns out, there is a lot about death). It also touches on chemistry, biology, mythology, and so much more, all told through the lens of fashion. Added to this litany of themes, the show also tells the story of The Met itself, and the goings-on behind the scenes. It's about how archived garments are preserved and how they are disintegrating. It's not just about clothes, but about how they were worn and who wore them. It tells the story of us. It's a visceral exhibition of over 400 years of fashion that engages the senses. It can be a heady experience. There are the sounds of waves crashing, and birds calling, and poems being read aloud. There is textured wallpaper you can touch—and courtesy of the German artist Sissel Tollas, wallpaper you can scratch and sniff and tubes you can snort. Frankly, this portion of the exhibit kicks like a mule and is unforgettable, with scent being such a powerfully triggering memory force. “Sleeping Beauties” was curated by this week's guest Andrew Bolton, the Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, who previously helmed such blockbusters as “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,” “China Through the Looking Glass,” and “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” which were some of the most visited exhibitions in the museum's entire history. Today's fashion-exhibit-heavy museum landscape has a lot to do with Bolton's successes, but with his trained anthropologist's eye, he never fails to zero in on the intellectual and human connotations in the garments.

Each year the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute hosts a fundraising gala. Vogue's own Anna Wintour chairs the event, where a theme is selected and its corresponding exhibit is revealed.  This year's theme, which comes to a close in early October, is "Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."  We discuss how Catholicism, Catholic icons and iconography permeate in popular culture, as well as within the Filipino Identity and its undeniable impact.  We revel and delight in the fashion of this past year's Gala red carpet (and yes, you can never be too late for the party).  Finally, we unpack and take a deep personal dive into how the Catholic tradition of discernment is the key to understanding and incorporating diametric points of view within ourselves and the world around us.   In the Mix this Week: Pandesal, The Cultural Impact of Kanye West | J. Bailey | Palgrave Macmillan, Met Gala 2018 Live Blog: See Every Red Carpet Arrival, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination Gallery Views, Flores de Mayo, Flores de Mayo at Santacruzan, Discernment of Spirits, Catholic Cemetery Myths for Catholics

Contemporary couture and Medieval art on view at “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” at The Met Come October, The Met will probably declare “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” exhibition their most visited ever.

He's had a few outbursts in recent weeks. Calling stock analysts boring. Criticising his critics over the performance of his cars. Is he a genius, behaving like a playground bully, or both? Tim Urban, a US blogger who has interviewed Mr Musk, says his lack of a PR team means his opinions come unfiltered, but his innovations make him a genius. We also hear from Melissa Schilling, a professor at the Stern school of management and the author of Quirky: The Remarkable Story of the Traits, Foibles, and Genius of Breakthrough Innovators Who Changed the World. She says he shares a number of traits with Nikola Tesla, the namesake of his cars. Not everyone though is so enamoured. James Moore, chief business commentator for the UK's Independent newspaper, reckons he needs to engage with his critics rather than calling them names, or else run the risk of having them think they are right. Thomas Asterbro, professor of entrepreneurship at the HEC Paris business school, says his pioneership may not be such an advantage business-wise. Companies like Amazon and Facebook were not the first in their field, but they are now dominant.(Picture: Elon Musk and Grimes attend the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018 in New York City.

Each year, The Met Gala which is formally called the Costume Institute Gala hosts an annual fundraiser which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. Each year's event, celebrates the theme of that year's Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night. The guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit. This year's theme was called “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” and featured vestments that were borrowed from the Vatican. Celebrities adorned garments that exploited sacramentals such as the Holy Rosary and distorted images such as the Seven Sorrows of The Blessed Virgin as well as vestments worn by religious during the celebration of the holy mass, etc. How should Catholics respond to this year's Met Gala and what message does this send to young Catholics? In this segment of The Discerning View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to author, Mark Mallet about his opinion piece lambasting the participants of this event as well as the clergy involved.
