What exactly happens at a fashion show for Jesus? I journeyed to Tampa, Fla., to find out.
This year, the second annual Christian Fashion Week came to Tampa.
Tampa-based founders José Gomez (a minister and entrepreneur) and his wife Mayra (founder of the group Model4Jesus) launched Christian Fashion Week last year. At 2013's event, eight designers showcased over 100 garments in front of more than 300 in-person attendees and over 2,000 online viewers.
The Gomezes created Christian Fashion Week to "celebrate the idea of fashion from a Christian worldview, reflecting common values such as modesty, boldness, and integrity." But what does that MEAN? What makes a blouse Christian? Here's what I saw when I went to Florida to check it out:

It's held at a lovely events center.
Corporate sponsors of the event include Zondervan, a major Christian publishing house, and several local Tampa modeling and photography businesses.

The event kicks off with a VIP party. There is NO alcohol at the VIP party.

There ARE random tall beautiful people who are definitely the models.
