The stylist created the new liturgical vestments worn by priests, bishops and deacons this Saturday, December 7, during the reopening of the cathedral.

He saw it as a real “achievement”. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, in fact, was asked to create the new liturgical vestments of Notre-Dame de Paris, worn by the men of the church at the cathedral’s reopening this Saturday, December 7. He felt a “terrible emotion” when the building burned down in 2019 , the next day he posted a drawing of his new stained glass roof.

Before adding: “We decided with the bishop that there would be no painting and that I would do a very simple work with ornaments that create a neighborhood.” “Knight” tires, which he designed with the help of the best French artisan houses such as Lesage or Maison Michel, a year and a half grouped in the 19M workshops in Paris. “Today it’s almost more rock and roll to work for the Church than to be on the Thames in ’77 sex with guns,” joked Jean-Charles de Castelbajac in an AFP column.
