About Us
When we first started this clothing line, people would look at the letters I.C.O.N. with the letter O with it’s cross in the middle and wonder what it meant. The first 30 days that I started wearing my shirts after they were created at least eight people got up the nerve to come up to me and ask what the acronym stood for. I thought this was incredible since no one had ever taken such interest in wanting to know what I wore before. When I told them it meant idolize or imitate Christ of Nazareth and that Jesus was the first living icon, people were surprised to know that icons were not just symbols on computers or Hollywood celebrities.
Being iconic is more than a clothing line or celebrity. It is a way of life that produces unlimited love, peace, happiness and joy when we pattern our lives after the life of Christ. We want to show people through our designs and symbolism that Jesus was the first true icon and the secret to living an iconic life is to idolize and imitate Jesus Christ. Part of our mission is to be like the icons in many churches and direct people to idolize and imitate Christ of Nazareth through the message in our Christianwear.
We purposely are striving for designs that are very stylish, cool and upscale. We feel that most Christian apparel puts people in a box that just expresses the religious side of who they are. I.C.O.N. chooses to break from these traditions because we know that buyers for retail stores and consumers want good Christian clothing that is unique, true to the word of God and eclectic. We know that in this world sometimes you have to choose between the materialistic and spiritual. We hope here at I.C.O.N. you find the combination of both and won’t have to sacrifice style.
If you are interested in stocking items for your retail store, or buying products as a consumer you can contact us at the contact information on the home page. We have programs designed to sell to churches and other charities. You can also contact us by phone or email for details about our referral program that can pay you cash when you refer customers to us.
We hope that you will enjoy this first collection of clothing we call the Genesis Collection. This is definitely a new beginning for our company. We hope that people who are close to Jesus, as well as those who don’t know Him yet or are beginning to know Him, will enjoy our clothing for years to come. My hope is that as people see you in your apparel, just as they did me when I first started this collection, you will have the same joy in telling others that Jesus was the first true icon on earth.
Sincerely,
Christopher Emil Williams
