Fashionista links to an informative AP article on Models for Christ, the Christian ministry for the fashion world. Here's an excerpt on the group's origin and approach:

"There's a lot of pressure to do the alcohol ad or get in your underwear or do whatever publication you don't want to do. But we don't need to bow down in order to be blessed in what we do," said Roman Watson, a 29-year-old model who has done work for Ralph Lauren, Nike and Macy's. "I want to encourage everyone to be a Christian first and a model second."

Watson said models are often afraid to reveal their moral boundaries on shoots, for fear that it could end their careers. But he urged those gathered at Models for Christ to follow their hearts and they would ultimately be rewarded with work.

"We can be fearful of a client ... but we should be fearful of the King of Kings," he said. "God is able to bless you. He's got more connections than the entire world."

Jeff and Laura Calenberg were both models when they founded Models for Christ with a small group of participants. Jeff Calenberg said he wanted to not only provide a place for Christians in the industry to gather, but also provide an example for those not living a necessarily spiritual life.
