Having turned 50 last July, Ms Lewinsky said she was ‘excited about this new decade and I’m hopeful – which, for someone with a lot of trauma, even saying that feels scary’.
While initially uncertain about being photographed, she became more confident when the brand hired a movement coach for her.
Ms Lewinsky, who did the collection to encourage voting in November’s US election, is pictured wearing a bright red Moya linen two piece suit and a classic black skirt and white blouse.
In an Elle magazine article for the campaign, she was called the ‘personal hero for Gen Z women’ while Reformation said Ms Lewinsky has been ‘empowering women for a long time’.
