Jasmine Tookes and Josephine Skriver Launch Activewear Brand
Supermodels and Victoria’s Secret favorites Jasmine Tookes and Josephine Skriver are teaming up for their activewear line- Joja. This comes off the back of the wellness Instagram account they launched together in 2016, focusing on creating a fashion and fitness-focused community. Joja includes 28 pieces, available in sizes from XS to 2XL, and celebrate the beauty of activewear rather than the performance. The models, who have known each other for 12 years, spent time studying the details of every brand they worked with and modeled for, and created a collection that they would wear on the streets and in the gym.
“Joja was started with the foundation of inspiring people and ourselves. We wanted to share our workouts because there are so many myths about lifting and the health aspects for female fitness in general,” said Josephine Skriver. “Just being able to share that journey and how different it is for each of us, while also being able to do it together, makes it fun. We wanted to add that into our collection and the brand.”
