After Award-Winning Role in Top-Grossing Christian Movie, Karen Abercrombie Is Leading Change From Within

Author Celebrates Jesus’ Messy, Multiethnic Family Tree in ‘Brown Baby Jesus’

At 23, Natasha Lambkin was living what she thought was her best life as a successful print and commercial model in New York. But after Lambkin recommitted her life to God, the “sex sells” modeling industry lost its lustrous appeal. On the dawn of 2020, she released N A T A S H A, a line of modest apparel for women who want to be chic and beautiful without bearing it all.

Lambkin spoke with us about her career change and what makes clothes immodest.

Natasha, can you talk about your transition from modeling to starting a modesty clothing line?

At the peak of my modeling career I felt this sense of emptiness, but I didn’t know where it was coming from. Although I was getting bookings left and right, I felt really far away from God. So I started to pray and ask God to reveal what it was, and that’s when I started to feel like I wanted to cover up more with certain modeling gigs. I started to look at the clothes I was modeling and wearing, and I wasn’t comfortable wearing them anymore. I felt kind of dirty. It was just a feeling that came out of nowhere… That’s when I knew that God wanted me to change my style of dressing.

Modesty is an outdated concept inside and outside many church communities, and there’s no consensus within the church on the topic. Do you think that skin exposure is synonymous with immodesty? For example, is wearing a bikini or speedos an automatic “no-no?” Or is modesty more of a state of mind and reflection of the heart?

To me modesty is subjective because it is a state of one’s mind and heart that will exude externally. You can cover up, but everyone’s opinion about how you should cover up is different. For example, I don’t feel comfortable showing cleavage, but other people may believe that I need to be covered up from my ankle to my neck. It’s subjective.
