Starting GFC
I am Clara, and this is my journey towards sustainable fashion.
Passionate for biblical femininity and sustainability, i kinda have to contribute to a healthier future knowing so many second hand clothes gets thrown in the landfill.
I know that many will turn away when someone says “biblical”. Often times, biblical teachings and femininity are associated as a form of oppression.
Truthfully, the bible actually lifts up and empowers women in profound ways. which can look different from a societal perspective, women are cherished for their god-given gifts and talents.
Testimony
i grew up with Christian parents, but fully became a Christian in 2022 after undeniable encounters with God.
I have friends who are part of the alternative community and being a Christian was something that confused them because I have dressed in a similar fashion to my friends. Not as a way to fit in, I just didn't want to try to fit into the other societal fashion norms.
After trying so hard to fit into societal norms, I took the quest to being content for how God made me, while encouraging others to do the same.
the initial collection
It started as a Final project for a fashion design studio during my third year at Kent State.
I focused in on two things:
creating the collection from dead stock materials only. use what you have in a smart fashion.
a new take on Christian streetwear mainly for women.
the vibes are what i like to call “divorced dad rock”.
you know, the garage beer dad who listens to trivium, creed, deftones, and alice in chains; who looks like he can take your boyfriend out in a front yard wrestle match (maybe he can, idk) but in reality is just a huge teddy bear.
thats the collection vibe. but combining that with feminine streetwear that exemplifies Christianity? that is the journey i’m taking.
come along with me as i continue to show the love of god, empower women, and contribute to a fashionably sustainable future.
