Newsweek Magazine recently published an article entitled “Girls Gone Mild.

Atlanta, September 17, 2007. – Few apostolates have such camera appeal as the Pure Fashion runway shows, with teenage girls sashaying down the catwalk in modest and pretty apparel. But it’s not just the cameras that love this budding Regnum Christi apostolate – it’s also the secular media.

Part of Pure Fashion’s appeal is its confidently countercultural message about feminine dignity, modesty, and grace. The smiling girls who walk down the runway at Pure Fashion shows are not only modeling clothes; they are also modeling a new kind of young woman who is beautiful and virtuous, pretty and self-possessed. In a world where the sexual revolution is old news, their message is attracting media attention from a wide range of publications across the country and even abroad.

Newsweek Magazine recently published an article by Jennie Yabroff, entitled “Girls Going Mild(er): A new ´modesty movement´ aims to teach young women they don´t have to be bad, or semiclad” (see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19762075/site/newsweek/page/0/).

The article indicates that Pure Fashion is on the cutting edge of a new trend: many young women want to be modest, unlike their parents’ sexually liberated generation, and they want to live out their virtue with style, grace, and joy.

Pure Fashion has become the undisputed poster girl for the modesty movement, appearing in a wide range of newspapers and magazines, including secular publications like the Wall St. Journal, the Washington Times, the Washington Post, the Seattle Times, the Baltimore Sun, Fox News, the Teipei Times, and the Guardian, hailing from London.
