What is Christ Couture?
A concept I dreamt up as a fresh graduate keen to take over the world with a ‘Christian version of ID magazine’. In the words of a younger version of myself:
‘Christ Couture’ is a reference to women who have accepted that Christ is their creator and therefore that they have been designed by Him in ‘high fashion’. So Christ Couture is just a fancy term for Christian women! In Christ Couture, it is ‘fashion’ that brings women together and Christ who leads the way.
CRINGE. But look, I was young and I was passionate. And the message of a life of both style and substance still stands.
Okay, so what tea will you be spilling in this newsletter?
Well first of all, I’m calling them essays because if you want the news you can Google it. My role here is to share the life lessons from my personal perspective as a Christian who is also a model, a magazine editor, a creative director and a presenter. I am never not trying new outfits while also trying to make sense of adulthood and obnoxiously (but passionately) trying to convince people to try orange wine. It sounds so cheesy to say this but I really do love Jesus and believe He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Life is both wild and beautiful - Desiderata describes it perfectly - and I want to encourage you to believe that whether you call yourself a Christian or not.

What else do I need to know?
Please don’t take everything I say on here seriously; sarcasm is my love language.
