I don't know about McQueen, but I remember Gaultier doing a collection inspired by the Orthadox Jews..............

Oh...and wasn't Alexander McQueen's previous menswear collection inspired by Orthodox Jews?

absolutely

I think in the 90s Gaultier also made a collection inspired by Jews, black clothes, also hair, very rich pattern on fabrics... Ads were photos styled like old photos of a family... It had a sentimental feeling about it, but at the same time powerful and "very nice":-)

I see a sense of Zen in some way in Yohji's S/S 04 collection.

Raf Simons used a lot of images of Buddha and other religious icons.
"May the circle be unbroken" as his theme for S/S 04.

Yes, Raf's collection was actually based on Herman Hesse's novel "Siddhartha" (which is a must-read book, I think ).

Will you need to be referencing any historical beginnings?

I was actually entertaining the idea of buying that T. But I decided it's too much for my style.

Since I'm still in art history mode, this made me think of the Stella Maris... Those are the stars on the Virgin Mary's cloak; this was the best example I could find. http://www.cbft.unipd.it/pdtour/pdpict/virgin.jpg
