Leaders I admire

Design:
Claire McCardell (1905-1958)
Claire McCardell is someone I admire for her work in fashion. She has been identified as the first truly American Fashion designer. She was a forerunner for woman’s sportswear and had a vision for a new look when everyone else was focused on making an old one better. Her look was simple but fresh and met the need of a changing culture. She created casual but sophisticated clothes with a functional design, this reflected the lifestyles of an American women.
She was met by the challenge the effect the war had on design. There was no contact with France, the world leader of fashion, and the war effort demanded a rationing of fabrics. These setbacks did not affect McCardell, who already was steering clear of French influence and whose designs made frugal use of material.

Calling:
Abraham Lincoln (President, Abolitionist, Changed culture and society).

President Lincoln’s life has many obvious ……The thing that admire is that he lived his passions and convictions. He believed in freedom so much that he was willing to risk a country’s economic base and political security to gain it. He pushed though an large amount of obstacles in his personal life and brought our country though an amazingly tough time in history. I know there are lots of details, possible motives and cultural influenced about him I do not know. But I do know that he had the spirit of God to influence this country and the world.

Spiritual:
Julia Loren

Ok, so I don’t know a lot about Julia, and I use her as a representation of the collection of people I have just begun to admire. They are the spiritual forerunners that seem to be putting pressure on heaven and are blazing a trail of revelation for us….my generation. These people are concerned with title, pressures, progress and expectations. They are concerned with Gods calling on their life and how it relates to the body of Christ. I see people putting aside so much and then living in true Freedom.

Julia Loren specifically has articulated the real spiritual world. Divinely showing the revelation of how the supernatural works. Her writing brings freedom and equips to fight and live effectively.
