Anti-bullying advocate Monica Lewinsky has teamed up with sustainable clothing company Reformation to make voting more fashionable.
The Los Angeles-based brand launched its new campaign on Monday with a series of stunning photos featuring Lewinsky rocking various looks, from a menswear-inspired vest and tie to a fire-engine red dress. The launch was also used to promote Vote.org, a nonprofit that urges citizens to participate in the democratic process.
“Voting is using your voice to be heard, and it’s the most defining aspect of democracy,” reads a quote from the 50-year-old influencer on Reformation’s website.
Lewinsky endured decades of ridicule before emerging as an anti-harassment activist. The former White House intern now finds herself being a political activist as well.
“We’ve seen in polls that voter frustration is up and apathy is up,” she told Elle in an interview coinciding with the launch of her Reformation campaign. “We all have to be reminding each other that we can’t let that get in the way of needing to vote, that that’s how we use our voice. That’s where our power is.”
Despite her awkward connection to the Clinton political family, Lewinsky told the New York Times she supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in her unsuccessful 2016 run against Republican Donald Trump.
