</span></u></b><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Friday, Jan. 18</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">, 6:15pm - 7:30pm, Norman Public Library WEST (300 Norman Center Ct.)<br>
"Byzantine Art and Contemporary Fashion" presented by Rozmeri Basic, Professor of Art History, OU School of Visual Arts, Art History, University of Oklahoma<br>
Dr. Basic will discuss the controversy created by Dolce et Gabbana’s Byzantine fashion collection, created in 2013-14 and presented during the popular Milan Fashion Week. The designers found inspiration in what are commonly described as the “Byzantine style
mosaics” of the twelfth-century cathedral in Monreale, Sicily—but some people protested against the use of religious symbolism for commercial gain.<br>
The Medieval Fair Free Lecture Series is cosponsored by the OU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
