ELISE, a fashion label that was created by the RFSU, the Swedish association for sexuality education, offers statement apparel that shares the message that it's one's own right to make decisions over their body, identity, and sexuality.
Some of the recent issues that the brand is working to bring awareness to is sexual harassment at music festivals, violence against LGBTQ people, the decriminalization of domestic violence in Russia, as well as the restrictions continuing to be put up against women's reproductive rights. With these issues in mind, ELISE helps to empower those who are looking to take a stand by giving all proceeds to the RFSU’s work in support of body rights.
The collection is currently available online, and will soon be available from Colette Paris as well.
