Beyond the Stitch – Détails, épisodes et analyse

How helpful are Catholic influencers when it comes to evangelization? Are we simply shouting into an echo chamber? And are Catholic brands just profiting off of the name of Jesus? At what point does sharing your faith become a marketing tool? And what about Catholic influencer copycats? Join us for a reflective episode on this platform we exist in. 

Oh boy. This is a good one. We have the answers to questions you always wanted to ask a Catholic model! We interviewed the wonderful Colette Lanzon on everything from wearing lingerie, to refusing jobs, having her photo in Times Square, being a plus size role model, and her Catholic identity! Colette is also an author and disabilities advocate. It was truly so inspiring to hear how Colette's deep faith informs her all of decisions and pushes her to do what is good and beautiful.

Julia Wehner is a poet, Montessori teacher, and avid playlist creator who wrote poems to pair with each garment in the Verdant collection from last spring.  She and Veronica discuss creative processes, how the poems were structured, meeting ourselves in small children's wonder, how clothing shapes artistic life, and who different garments in the collection are named after.

Veronica is joined by a new kind of guest - who wears the same thing constantly.  What's it like wearing a religious habit on the NYC subway?  What's the inspiration behind the Dominican habit?  And, most importantly, is it really as comfy as it looks?  Fr. Joseph spills his best thoughts - including why unnecessary beauty is, in fact, a dearly essential part of being human.  

Bonus: Fr. Joseph and Veronica fangirl over Jane Austen.

Welcome back!!!  Lillian, Litany's new Customer Experience Manager, and Veronica dig into the role of mental health in the fashion industry, what it looks like now, what they want it to become, and practical tips that have helped them take care of themselves within different work environments.  How does stress inhibit our creativity?  How can you tell if someone will be healthy to work with?  And what does unhealthy an work environment do to our view of ourselves?  

Follow along over at @litany.nyc on Instagram or over at www.litanynyc.com to see the vision of healthy creativity Lillian and Veronica have for the fashion industry.

Lucy designed the Litany logo and now she's back to share her life as a Catholic visual artist in NY.  One of her most recent artwork involves clothing, paint, and St. Michael's breastplate prayer.  She and Veronica talk about funerals, Elmo, Parousia, and makeup.  Is death the end?  How does that question affect our clothing?

Lauren joins Veronica to share her journey in starting a meaningful nail polish company with her family.  They talk about navigating the tension between wanting to look beautiful and not wanting to be vain, giving ourselves good things in good ways, and their favorite nail polish colors.  Find Lauren and Beecauses at www.beecauses.com or @bee_causes on Instagram!
