Does anyone besides me love the Swiss Guard/Vatican outfits? [View all]

I've always loved their colors and style. In fact, they remind me a lot of the clothes from the TV show The Nanny. I was trained in fashion and these designs are quite attractive. Michelangelo didn't design them, as rumored, but the colors were inspired by him.
