Francesco De Molfetta, 31, said he created the work to “denounce a society based on the cult of appearance through the use of a brand that represents the search for ephemeral happiness.”Desperate times, desperate measures? Jus' askin'.

ARTIST ADORNS THE VIRGIN MARY IN LOUIS VUITTON, ART OR BLASPHEMY?
To answer your question Blaze, No right on! The push for people to be studded in name brands, luxury items for the "good " of all has been beyond the breaking point- and the artist is just bringing it front and center- Would we listen to Mary or Jesus or others if then didn't have a gimmick.... or a video... or a rap about where they have been and now they have changed??? or would they just be left out in the cold- ignored because they weren't
