STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- I took my three teen daughters to The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the beauty that is The Costume Institute's spring 2018 exhibition, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."

And you should, too. It is amazing.

Plan to spend the day and wear comfortable shoes. It is a feast for the senses and you'll want to drink it all in and savor each spectacularly beautiful piece.

The exhibition is a combination of medieval art and spectacular fashion pieces by iconic designers like Versace, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Yves St. Laurent, and Chanel, among others, who for the most part were raised in the Roman Catholic tradition in order to delve deeper into the fashion industry's connection with Catholicism.

While their lifelong relationships to Catholicism may vary, it is clear from the pieces in "Heavenly Bodies" that the designers' creativities have been influenced by their religious upbringing.

On a hazy Saturday afternoon, the Met was crowded with tourists and locals alike, quietly strolling down the exhibition hallways adorned with Byzantine and medieval treasures on either side, their gaze pulling upwards every few steps to delight in the exquisite dresses by some of the world's most celebrated fashion designers.

The meticulously curated "Heavenly bodies transports the viewers' mind from medieval times to the runways of Paris and the red carpet paparazzi of the Met gala -- "fashion's biggest night out" -- to the Anna Wintour Costume Center and concludes at The Met Cloisters, which I will have to schedule to visit with my children another wonderful day.
