Why, to Become a Fashion Designer, You Need to Strive Toward God
I often hear the question: why do you connect your profession as a fashion designer with faith? At first glance, these seem like completely different worlds. But for me, they are beautifully intertwined.
When I first picked up a pencil and tried to sketch, I realized that creativity is not just a craft. It’s breath, it’s inspiration, it’s something that comes from above. And the deeper I searched for the source of that inspiration, the clearer it became — it wasn’t within me alone, it was with God.
As designers, we work with beauty. But beauty comes in many forms: superficial, loud, fleeting… or the kind that awakens light within a person, uplifts them, and stirs their best feelings. That’s the kind of beauty I want to share. And to see it, you have to look deeper than fabric, silhouette, or trends. You have to learn to notice the Creator’s design — the harmony of lines in nature, the proportions of the body, the way the world itself is arranged.
For me, striving toward God is about inner alignment. It’s not just “I create clothes to sell,” but rather, “I want my work to help people feel lighter, more beautiful, more confident, and also purer within.” That, to me, is the true purpose of a designer’s work. Clothing is not only decoration or protection from the cold — it can shape mood, culture, and even values.
When someone wears a piece created with love and respect for harmony, they can feel it. There’s a new ease in their step, a clarity in their gaze, a sense of dignity in their movements. This isn’t magic — it’s simply the energy of the right intention. That’s why I believe a true designer must strive toward God. Because only through this striving can we create clothing that doesn’t degrade a person, but elevates them; that doesn’t reduce them to an object, but reveals their true self.
