Sorelle Fontana was the first to base designs upon clerical wear. Inspired by the habits of nuns and priests strolling Rome everyday, they created the “Pretino” in 1956, here worn by Ava Gardner. Federico Fellini fell so in love with this dress that he decided to use it for his film “La dolce vita” in 1960. Fellini went on to celebrate liturgical fashion with his Ecclesial fashion show in the 1972 film “Roma”. - Source
