‘Collections’: a collaboration between Josefinas x Jacqueline Bissett
For the first time ever, there are Josefinas t-shirts. And they support victims of domestic violence through ‘She Is Rising’.
Domestic violence is a crime that happens behind closed doors, with hundreds of thousands of women suffering in silence. ‘Collections’ tells the stories of three abused women, and reflect the most common excuses given to families and friends when bruises start to show – “I walked into something”, “I ran into a door”, “I fell down the stairs”.
‘Collections’ has the signature of British artist Jacqueline Bissett, well-known for her hand rendered fashion illustrations.
