ABOUT PAGNOTTA LOVE APPAREL

The apparel is the visual representation of what she wanted life to look like and what life really was. The clean clear side of each piece is what she always wanted life to be. The acrylic painted design is what it really was, messy, beautiful, detailed and completely permanent. 

​

There is nothing easy about love. True love is deep, and messy. It's looking the homeless person in the eyes and actually speaking to them not ignoring them, even if it's to say "I don't have anything". It's sitting on the phone just listening to the tears of someone, not passing judgment.

 

Francesca saw herself as a strong and resilient. She always felt powerful and graceful. Grief leveled that, and she found herself alone and with out reason to live. Clinging to her love for Christ, she held on. Pleading for healing, God showed her she needed to love through what was left of her life, the rubble, and the broken pieces. She was mad, but abided.

​

As she moved through the years of debris, God showed her how to love through her mess. He showed her the way people needed to be loved.

​

As the years passed, she grew to appreciate her ability to love people where, when, and how they needed it. This also meant being used, pushed aside, and opened her up to malicious people. Still she pressed on and truly saw the good people. She walked way from every situation knowing she did what God had asked of her, to love them, to help them, and to see them where they were. All the acts of love were completely permanent.

 

Out of grief came PAGNOTTA LOVE APPAREL                         

 

As this dream grew in her, she started seeing the pieces of herself coming together, and the rubble clearing.

 

Today she walks in gratitude, grace, and above all else clothes herself in love. Colossians 3:14
