Proportion, whether in the human body or in a sacred building, came to be considered the distinct mark of beauty and a reflection of God’s cosmic order.
Now look at the fashion and work out the connections for yourself, although you may have trouble with the Gothic because you are used to it being always associated with ‘dark’ and ‘gloomy’ thoughts and influenced by much older ‘Goth movements’ that many people still subscribe to.
So we know now that ‘dark’ is not what the original intent of the Gothic style at all – it was really all about the light’ dispelling the darkness. About goodness overcoming evil.
Will the pundits and fashion dictators however get it right?
