A former Muslim will showcase her own fashion label, ‘Saviour Clothing’, at the Northern Christian Resources Exhibition later this month (Oct 19 to 21, Yorkshire Events Centre, Harrogate).

Six years ago, Inshana Hulton was arranged to be married at the age of 16 to her 49-year-old cousin. But on the eve of their wedding, her aunt snuck her out through a bedroom window.

Now 22 and a Christian, Hulton testifies that her life has changed since then.

“My parents divorced when I was 10,†she recalls. “This was seen as a great shame and dishonour to my family. My uncles arranged for me to marry my cousin to restore my family’s honour. It was an enforced marriage and I was rescued by an aunt who was a Christian. I climbed out of my bedroom window, to embark on a new life in Manchester - with a new name and identity.â€Â

Now Inshana, who studied for a fashion degree at Salford University, has designed a range of clothes communicating that "Jesus is relevant to the 21st century and Christianity is fresh and exciting."

She believes creativity is a gift from God and wants to design clothes "that honour him". Her hope is that Saviour Clothing becomes an established Christian brand, much the same as mainstream fashion brands.

“My inspiration can come from things you wouldn’t necessarily connect with Christianity,†she explains. “I pray if I feel stuck. I often feel full of inspiration after reading a particularly encouraging piece of Scripture.â€Â

Alongside Inshana’s t-shirts, a collection of vestments, choir gowns and Christian urban and skater wear will be on display at Faith ‘n’ Fashion, a unique catwalk show on the first day of the Northern CRE (12.30pm, Thur 19 Oct).

“Our aim is to present a positive response to some of the negative aspects of the fashion industry,†explains CRE marketing executive Joy Gilmour. ¢â‚¬Å“At the heart of it, we want to encourage people to use their buying power to speak up for those who have no voice.â€Â

Former Muslim Shares Astounding Christian Testimony

Inshana Jones, a former Muslim, will showcase her own fashion label, ‘Saviour Clothing’, at the Northern Christian Resources Exhibition later this month.

The 22-year-old, now a Christian, recently gave her testimony on how her once appalling life has changed since she fled from her bedroom six years ago.

At the age of 16, Inshana was forced to marry her 49-year-old cousin. But on the eve of their wedding, her aunt snuck her out and helped her build a new life.

“My parents divorced when I was 10,†she recalls. “This was seen as a great shame and dishonour to my family. My uncles arranged for me to marry my cousin to restore my family’s honour. It was an enforced marriage and I was rescued by an aunt who was a Christian. I climbed out of my bedroom window, to embark on a new life in Manchester - with a new name and identity.â€Â

After moving in with her aunt, Inshana chose a new name.

“I made up a name - Inshana. It was the first thing I had ever chosen on my own. It felt wonderful,†she said.

With financial help from her aunt, Inshana enrolled on a fashion course at the local college and started socialising with other teenagers.

Now Inshana, who studied for a fashion degree at Salford University, has designed a range of clothes communicating that "Jesus is relevant to the 21st century and Christianity is fresh and exciting."

She believes creativity is a gift from God and wants to design clothes "that honour him". Her hope is that Saviour Clothing becomes an established Christian brand, much the same as mainstream fashion brands.

“My inspiration can come from things you wouldn’t necessarily connect with Christianity,†she explains. “I pray if I feel stuck. I often feel full of inspiration after reading a particularly encouraging piece of Scripture.â€Â

Alongside Inshana’s t-shirts, a collection of vestments, choir gowns and Christian urban and skater wear will be on display at Faith ‘n’ Fashion, a unique catwalk show on the first day of the Northern CRE.

What an encouraging testimony, in light of racial tensions being highlighted now in UK, & of NW-UK having been a flashpoint for racial riots a few years ago

I do encourage Inshana & other Christian designers to make Christian fashion statements in line with Joshua 1 etc

Joshua 1 (New International Version)


The LORD Commands Joshua

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to themâ€â€to the Israelites.

3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphratesâ€â€all the Hittite countryâ€â€to the Great Sea [a] on the west.

5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.

7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."


For a week or 2 now, I've been praying that Christians will brighten up the winter, for neighbours & colleagues etc, by making & displaying Bible posters & T shirts etc

Having long experience of using multiple Bible placards, in themed series, at major T junctions, so drivers have maximum safe reading time, while waiting for lights to change, I'd urge folk to use letters at least the size & thickness of licence numbers, for easy reading: some readers may recall Chester Chronicle front page featuring my diplays between 2 bus stops @ Mynnydd Isa, bewtween Mold & Buckley, '85-'87

Others may have seen me @ Lord St/Eastbank St junction, Southport, '96-'98: in both locations, I'd do @ 90 minutes each at morning & evening rush hour & calculated @ 3000 a day would see my Bible placards

I used to use a different colour for each letter & stand where the sun made them look best, but you can make Bible posters on your PC for display in your bedroom windows, or wherever they'd look best & reach most people

Finishing on fashion, I used to buy £2 2-packs of plain white T shirts & put messages front & back

Pray that Christian fashion statements become even more popular than in the '70s 'Jesus Revolution', OK?

I came on to post this link @ UK peak in unemployment, having heard Matthew Ashimilowo's "The Coming Wealth Transfer" series continue today from http://www.kicc.org @ Isaiah 60 & Genesis 12, etc, urging Christians to seek the Abraham blessing & become a blessing to their communities & to the whole world

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18102006/344/j ... years.html

Aussie Pastor Phil Pringle said almost the same thing on a different Christian Channel right afterwards, & I'd read Isaiah 52-66 yesterday pm & eve
