Jasmine Tookes and Josephine Skriver are launching a sportswear brand
Supermodels and Victoria’s Secret favorites Jasmine Tookes and Josephine Skriver team up for their Joja activewear line. It comes off the back of the wellness Instagram account they launched together in 2016, focusing on building a fashion and fitness-focused community. Joja comprises 28 pieces, available in sizes XS to 2XL, and celebrates the beauty of sportswear over performance. The models, who have known each other for 12 years, spent time researching the details of each brand they worked and modeled with, and created a collection they would wear on the streets and at the gym.
“Joja started with the foundation of inspiring people and ourselves. We wanted to share our workouts because there are so many myths about weightlifting and the health aspects of female fitness in general,” said said Josephine Skriver, “Just being able to share this journey and how different it is for each of us, while being able to do it together, makes it fun. We wanted to add this to our collection and to the brand.
