Fashion and Chastity: How it all ‘fits’ together (For all-girl high school assemblies, retreats, or rallies)
Leah Darrow
  • In this seminar, Leah focuses on the lifestyle choices she made, and how her fashion style was a reflection of it. She shares how her attire made it easier to succumb to poor lifestyle choices, and explains how clothing can be a powerful communicator - it can tell the world who we are, where we are going, and even our beliefs.

    Leah explains, "When I dressed immodestly, modeled immodestly, it told those around me that I was a party girl, there for a good time, and had very few boundaries/limits. I attracted people, friends, jobs, boyfriends, etc... that also behaved in this same way. This makes perfect sense; when you believe in garbage logic, all you get is garbage. After my reversion, I chose to allow Christ to change me . . . although I didn’t think Jesus was a fashionista! As a fashion model, one of the things that defines us, is our clothes - what we wear and how we wear it. I could handle changing my friends, dropping the garbage excuses for "relationships”, etc... but my clothes?!

    In her presentation, Leah shares how modesty inspired others to look at her, and treat her differently than ever before. When her styles changed, her friends noticed that something was up. In Leah’s words, "And they were right ... something was up—my morality for the first time in my life!” People knew immediately that something had changed. And she was then expected to act like she dressed. She was expected to act respectful, with honor and with grace. She learned from experience that dressing with dignity spoke louder than any fashion runway.
The Faithful Fashionista - Where Faith and Fashion meet (For all-girl high school assemblies, retreats, or rallies)
Leah Darrow

What are the fashions of today? What does it really mean when we say that we are making a “fashion statement”? Can faith really play a role in fashion?

What we wear is a portrayal to the world of our own personal image of who we are. So… who are we? While there are many different answers to this question, each intrinsic to the person, we all have one common denominator. We are children of God. We are made in the likeness and image of God, the Father. We are made out of love and for love.

At times, clothes are the only visible clues to our personalities and even our beliefs. Today, clothes have become a means for one human to evaluate another. Our clothes tell a lot about us. It can tell others what we want, our talents, our needs, our personalities, our dispositions and our destinations. It can build as much as it can destroy our image. Clothing is silent but a very powerful communicator.

In this fun yet informative presentation, Leah goes over the current fashions, the influence of the media and how to live out your faith with your everyday fashions. This comprehensive presentation gives the audience a Christian perspective to fashion by relying on biblical verses that support modest, pure and beautiful fashions. Leah gives practical advice on the how to wear the current fashions as well as fashion no-no’s. A longer Q&A is provided for this presentation.

"Build schoolhouses then for the religious education of your children as the best protest against a system of education from which religion has been excluded by law."

~ Bernard J. McQuaid, Bishop of the Diocese of Rochester; in firm command to his flock, after the failure of the State to remedy the injustice to Catholic parents who were forced to pay education taxes to support public schools detrimental to their faith.
