Ex-Victoria's Secret model creates God inspired clothing line. I thought that was what Nuns were wearing?



Courtesy of Today:

Kylie Bisutti, a former Victoria’s Secret model who left her runway career because it conflicted with her faith, has launched a Christian line of clothing she hopes will help spread religious beliefs, particularly among today’s youth. 

“With all of the bullying that goes on nowadays, I really wanted to have clothing that focused on uplifting kids and verses that would maybe put a smile on someone’s face if they were having a bad day,” Bisutti, 23, told TODAY.com.  

God Inspired Fashion, the clothing line she co-founded with her aunt, includes numerous women's styles, including skinny jeans, tank tops, peasant skirts, blazers, and scarves, while the men’s collection features T-shirts and button-down tops. Clothing for children and toddlers also are available. 

Each article boasts a biblical verse or motivational phrase, such as “Trust,” “Fear God” or “The Lord is My Strength.” Bisutti said she hoped the words would inspire “someone sitting in a classroom who read the verse on the back of someone’s shirt or jacket, or intrigue them enough to ask a question about its meaning.” 

Bisutti said she developed the line after growing frustrated with her own search for Christian clothing beyond hats and T-shirts. 

“I couldn’t find blazers or stuff you can wear to a business event, or something cute for girls or guys to wear at school," she said. 

Do you know WHY this woman could not find clothing with Bible verses on them? Because that is what crazy people wear.

And if she thinks that walking around looking like a billboard advertising Christianity will keep somebody from being bullied, well I have some bad news for her.

I checked through the site by the way and found the clothing to be very modern, somewhat revealing, and not exactly designed for your usual, never miss a church potluck dinner, Christian.

Personally I find this kind of "in your face" religiosity to be very off putting, and though it may attract interested consumers along the bible Belt, I am not sure that in this day and age, with more and more young people abandoning the church, that it will find a large enough consumer base to support the company.

Besides if Ms. Bisutti, REALLY wanted to start a line inspired by God and the Bible, wouldn't THIS be more appropriate?

Honestly does she really think that the founders of Christianity would be cool with halter tops and skinny jeans?

Pretty sure that would be a stoning.
