Fashion Rebels: Modeling for Modesty

The models are sashaying down the runway, decked out in the latest fashions. One sports a bright cotton dress paired with a sweater. Another wears a flowered jacket over a pink pleated shirt. Yet another is modeling a green plaid dress with a matching jacket. The clothes are stylish and the models pretty.

But there's a big difference between this fashion show and the kind you would see in Paris or Milan. For one thing, the models are smiling, and they look healthy: no "heroin chic" here. For another, the clothing is modest.

It's the latest form of rebellion—and as the father of three daughters, I can tell you I welcome this kind of rebellion.

Fashion shows like this are put on by a faith-based group called Pure Fashion. The group encourages teen girls to "live, act, and dress in accordance with their dignity as children of God." The shows feature ordinary high school girls modeling clothes that are trendy and tasteful. the rest image-Pure Fashion
