English fashion designer launches updated clerical line for women

Trevor Grundy

CANTERBURY, England (RNS) A London-trained fashion designer has launched a new range of clerical wear for women in the Church of England.

Camelle Daley, who founded the label House of ilona, says it’s high time for a shake-up among Anglican clergy who, like Roman Catholic priests, still wear traditional black shirt and collar.

Daley said she got the idea when a recently ordained friend said she wanted a new look for a new age.

Epting is a wonderful man and a great preacher. He has celebrated the Easter vigil at my parish twice. His wife is a deacon.
