Fashion Network & Prayer Group at HTB

The Fashion prayer group at Holy Trinity Brompton in London’s Knightsbridge is now arguably the trendiest prayer group in the country.
Some of England’s leading fashionistas have joined up for the regular morning prayer meetings, which help Christians in the fashion industry stay connected.
The meetings are headed by Pete Greig of HTB, who said fashion has perhaps so far been viewed as superficial by the church, and that it is now time to work with, and pray for, those who work in one of the biggest and most important industries in the country.
Another driving force behind the re-envigorated fashion prayer meetings at HTB is Christina Abbott, a former model and now Director of Client Services, and VIP clients, at quintessentially British luxury brand Burberry.
Other Christians among the nearly 200 well-dressed attendees included people from fashion labels such as Jimmy Choo, and the Chief Operating Officer of the British Fashion Council, Simon Ward.
Ward spoke about his experiences as a Christian in the fashion industry and how his faith now helps him in his work.
The fashion pack were also represented by Christians working in sales as well as shop owners and assistants, designers, models, stylists, patternmakers, tailors, buyers, PRs,  merchandisers, Shop assistants and people working in distribution.

COLOSSIANS 3:14 – Above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in love.

A Daily Mail article shows how one Christian fashionista is finding God playing an increasingly important part in her everyday decisions, such as picking a dress for an important event.

‘I just knew: Jesus is my stylist,’ srites Angela Buttolph in the Mail (Feb 9, 2009). ‘I really don’t pray about my clothes that often. But I don’t see fashion as something I can’t pray about. I think God cares about what I care about.’

‘A lot of women are startting to realise that a cupboard full of Louboutins won’t protect you from life’s ups and downs either. We all hide behind material things a little; it can give a feeling of safety and security, and provide a glossy facade of contentment and success, when everything isn’t always OK.’

‘There are probably villages and groups of friends and rugby clubs doing similar things (setting up small groups who look after eachother), but I’ve only ever found that kind of tight-knit community at church. And I can’t help thinking that is something that won’t ever go out of fashion.’
