Pope Benedict XVI changed the official couturier of Vatican, Annibale Gammarelli, responsible for the outfits of the Pope and cardinals since 1798( actually the Gammarelli family). I don`t know if it was his visit to Paris, of which I`ve let you know the other days, that rushed this decision but we can say that the Pope did not let the people down in the capital of fashion.
The Pope considered the official clothes supplier of Vatican too sober. It is said that some of Pope`s outfits are signed by Prada( ironically, not only the Devil wears prada, huh :))
Moreover, his Sanctity has a thing for Gucci sunglasses and never loses of sight his Apple iPod engraved with his name.
In terms of shoes, the Pope wears cross embroidered red shoes. The Vigevano consortium of shoemakers offered the Pope a pair of red shoes made out of kangaroo leather and some other 15000 pairs of more ordinary shoes. So, the Pope might be a fashion icon but he`s not very into the eco trend, yet...
