Praying: School is in Session

August 06, 2021

In a post-internet world, "Praying" refers to your favorite brand rooted in outlandish graphics printed across apparel instead of joining your hands together and bowing your head. And the unorthodox yet practical brand doesn't stop at bikinis that read "Father, Son, And the Holy Spirit", as they've returned with a Back to School collection. The extensional dread that comes with seeing Back-to-School commercials and uniform sales stop with Praying, as this collection intended for uniform wear is less than conventional and irregular for school standards.

This is for the dress-code breakers, the kids who get sent to in-school suspension for showing a little shoulder, and for the outcasts who were forced to pick something out of the lost and found bin over their offensive graphic tee.

We're Finally off Zoom and back to the classroom, so go back in style with Praying's cut-and-sew, prints, as well as restocked class favorites. The salacious brand is back with its well-known inspirational quotes such as: " Do Nothing, It is Impossible" printed upon the breast of a pearl-colored slip dress, and "God's Favorite" printed and bedazzled on the butt of underwear and lime green short-shorts sure to get you sent home from class.

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.
