Lillian Fallon on Faith and Fashion Co-existing in One Fashion House

"Is the fashion industry a place where Catholic women can belong?

"This is the question Veronica Marrinan and Olivia Swinford (now Sr. Maria Dominique) asked three years ago as students at the Fashion Institute of Technology. They boldly answered 'yes' to their question and created Litany, the first Catholic fashion label in NYC.

"The designers set out to be the solution to an industry that often reduces a woman's value to her sexual appeal and the beauty standards she’s pressured to live up to.

"But rather than opting out of the industry entirely, the team at Litany seeks to create clothing that incorporates theology in every stitch, in the hopes of bringing women to a greater understanding of their identity as being made in the image and likeness of God."

In a recent commentary, Lillian Fallon reflected on some of the ways Litany strives to "create clothing and conversations that inspire a deep prayer life in the wearer and help them accept the goodness of how they were created- and we’re well on our way to making that a reality."
