Andy Warhol’s rise to fame was not easy. Haunted by his profession as a commercial artist in New York he struggled to gain recognition as a real artist, yet he kept trying.

Shortly before his death, Evelyn Waugh prophetically declared ‘‘To have been born into a world of beauty and to die amid ugliness is the fate of all us exiles.’ Despite this seemingly straightforward reflection, Waugh previously appeared conflicted as to what significance beauty and aesthetics should hold in his satires, and particularly to what extent characters allow a reliance on beauty to corrupt their judgement. In his early fiction, a simple progression from beauty to ugliness cannot be found

This particularly was the case with the famous cathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres (Our Lady of Chartres) in the town of the same name, 80km south-east of Paris, built in the 13th century.

Through cultural preference and materials available there is consistency as well as diversity in clothing. Though clothes in the Middle Ages were somewhat primitive compared to today’s garments, the quality clothing had no effect on the people’s freedom of expression through fashion.
