Look Book Brand Collaboration Feature: Faith Over Everything Apparel Co.
- Tell us about your brand
My name is Stephanie Tillman, and I am the Founder of Faith Over Everything. We are a family owned faith based apparel company that wants to help spread uplifting messages as well as share our faith and the good news of Jesus through wearable art. God gave me the inspiration in 2015, but I didn’t make the vision a reality until October of 2016.
2. What is the purpose/mission behind this line?
I was already running a successful tshirt business when I decided to mesh my love of God with tshirts. Each shirt idea is developed from biblical principles that incorporate modern and trendy designs.
3. What is the message/vibe you want to communicate with this line?
Faith Over Everything is an inspirational apparel company. In striving to stay true to that I want each shirt, each pillow, or accessory to give us the opportunity to visually share a message. I often use the hashtag #wearyourtestimony when I’m posting on social media. I believe a lot of my current collection and the designs to come are a reflection of that.
4. Any new products/things in the works you want people to know?
I love the Donald Lawrence song “Encourage Yourself” and during some dark times and times when I felt alone I had to use affirmations to encourage myself. Hurdling those valley experiences gave me the inspiration to add the “I am” Spiritual Affirmation Collection. In my business God is CEO so I yield to Him in all endeavors. I anxiously await as God continues to gives instruction and inspiration for Faith Over Everything.
5. How can people find/connect with you and your line?
