Review\n"Faith and Fashion is truly a masterpiece! It is unique among books today, well written, and packed with fascinating information and practical wisdom. Combining their vocational skills, Julie and Graham have researched and written a book about the Bible, fashion and clothing, and beauty, vanity, and modesty. I highly recommend this book." 
--Denise George, bestselling author and teacher\n"Fashion designer Julie Cole and systematic theologian Graham Cole believe fear-of-the-Lord wisdom extends to all of life, including the clothes we image-bearers of God put on in the morning. Julie is the rare fashionista who explores the physicality of true spirituality, with personal and practical advice on body type, self-image, wardrobe wisdom, and smart shopping. Faith and Fashion seeks to bring the inner faithful self into harmony with the fashionable self--all to the glory of God." 
--Douglas D. Webster, author of Behind Nazi Lines: My Father's Heroic Quest to Save 149 World War II POWs\n"Julie's experience, creative talent, and eye for fashion and design have always left me in awe, and her love for God and his glory clearly impacts every part of her life. These two realities come together beautifully in Julie's life and ministry and are teased out in each chapter of this book, alongside Graham's theological reflections. I loved reading it and cannot imagine anyone better to write about fashion through the lens of the gospel." 
--Jenny Salt, associate to archdeacon for women's ministry, Anglican Church, Diocese of Sydney\n"A true gem! This one-of-a-kind book is written by two masters of their craft: a fashion designer and a systematic theologian who also happen to be wife and husband. From Coco Chanel to Abraham Kuyper and from Francis Shaeffer to Karl Lagerfeld, this is a masterpiece of theological integration and cultural engagement. We have needed this tour de forcefor a long time. May it never go out of fashion!" 
--C. Ben Mitchell, Union University, emeritus\n"Intrigued by the title, I read this book to discover how faith and fashion could be related. Julie and Graham have adroitly done this with humor, practical advice, and biblical information. . . . This book is an uplifting read for everyone, whether you are a fashionista and/or striving to be clothed in Christ." 
--Joann Decker, speech/language pathologist, retired\nWe all wear clothes. But are you concerned that your fashion choices are mere vanity or wasteful or environmentally harmful? The question is how to look our best in a responsible and wise way that avoids guilt, vanity, and immodesty. Jules and Graham Cole bring their expertise to bear on this question in this unique collaboration: Jules as a fashion designer and Graham as a theologian. This book pays attention to differences in body type and the challenge of best fit and does so in an environmentally sustainable way. In this work, you will find hints on how to dress and how to coordinate a wardrobe that is economically responsible and minimizes landfill. The book seeks to honor the God of the Bible who values beauty. The discussion culminates in considering the ultimate wardrobe change. Fashions come and go, but to be clothed with Christ is never out of date.
