Matthew 25:36, 40
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Luke 12:27
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
I have been keeping a blog for about a year now and I was just informed that I had no more free space on my original blog. At first this bummed me out but then I realized that it was a great time to start a fresh new blog, for a new chapter of life! I am a senior Fashion Merchandising student at Point Loma Nazarene University and after graduation I plan to start a non-profit High Fashion Christian Clothing Company in San Deigo, CA. This company will donate basic clothing items to developing or recovering counties in need for every purchase made at its San Diego location. The donations will increase with the price of the item purchased. We will be selling high fashion and donating quality functional pieces. I also plan on donating clothing to the local San Diego Homeless community. I believe in helping God's people across the oceans as well as right outside our doors. I want to have my friends as well as the women from the countries we donate to do the modeling for the store, that will be called Clothe the Naked. I believe in real women modeling and designing modest, classic clothing that will make women feel great about themselves! Anyone can look great, its just knowing how to dress for your body type.
The verses above are what this idea/store is based on. This whole operation is Gods plan in my life and I am so excited to follow this journey He has me on. I first had to abandon everything I wanted my life to be in order to see this plan that is completely better than anything I had ever planned for myself.
I hope to give people the chance to travel the world, and experience new cultures when we deliver the donations to our brothers and sister around the world. I have a vision of the store being filled with maps, pictures of God's people, letters and prayer requests from our customers and the people we have met through our service. This big idea is still a work in progress and is continually growing and changing. I am in the midst of preparing a business plan right now and am approaching the future prayerfully. Please keep checking in for updates and progress.
I will be using this new blog as a portfolio of my past work in fashion as well as a way to keep in touch, and updated with everyone. I am so excited for Clothe the Naked or CTN to become a reality. I will have the wonderful opportunity to exercise my blessings by designing for the store, doing some photography, working on the concept, store design, and advertising. I am so blessed to be able to do a little bit of everything I love about the fashion world, while at the same time incorporating Christianity and loving on God's people into my work life.
