Why Monica Lewinsky is the new face of a major fashion brand 

Anyone who has either listened to or read what Ms. Lewinsky has written doesn’t have to listen long to realize just how intelligent and compassionate she is.

Astonishment and Joy. I am so happy for Monica Lewinsky and exceedingly proud of her. The President didn't suffer as much as she did.

She looks like she’s in control of her destiny, all the best to Monica

Monica gets shame, and yet Kim Kardashian gets fame... 🥴

I believe Monica is a great representation for the brand Reformation. The brand uses sustainable practices and they are about giving something new life, Monica has had to reinvent herself many times which is better than quitting. I’m not sure how much it helps to get out the vote, but it won’t hurt.

I never blamed her. I blamed him after he admitted it. She didn't deserve any of it. He knew how vulnerable she was and took advantage of it. The guilt lies solely on Clinton. We should have believed Anita Hill about Justice Thomas. Women should be believed.

I cannot say that I ever joined the bandwagon of hate against a person who I have never met because she made a mistake. I hope that she continues to do well in life.

Is it just me, or are these reporters basically saying "Why is she bothering, since it's not gonna help?" If so, that's a really bad take. How about: let's applaud and encourage anyone trying to help in whatever way they can. Monica is fabulous, and if she's promoting voting and sustainability, that's a win-win in my book!

She’s gorgeous! I’m so happy for her 💪 You go girl!!

Monica Lewinsky is a hero! What she went through was ridiculous, so stupid, sexist, cruel, unjust and she came through all that public shaming with courage and wisdom.

Everyone has done something incredibly stupid when they were young. Everyone.

Catherine Rampell irritates me a bit with the “although I don’t agree with her choices,” and her laughter is so condescending. Can we just leave it alone? Monica was 22 years old. To think that what she did at 22 arguably ruined her life is incredibly sad. I wish her well. AND she looks amazing!!! She’s 50 and fabulous!!!

She’s smart and courageous. She’s also witty as hell. I love her.

She will never escape her past

Good for her! You go girl!👍😁

Good for her. She was treated poorly by the fbi and many others.👍

Catherine Rampell has completely missed the point here. Monica isn´t a celebrity asking people to vote! She is a public figure who only became one because she was shamed and ridiculed and treated like dirt by a highly misogynistic press and public and who was thrown to the wolves by the President, who should have known much better than to do what he did. If anything, she seems to be asking people to remember that they do have a stake in who gets elected and who leads their country and that that person should be held accountable for their actions!

I'm happy for Ms. Lewinsky.

Because she survived everything the patriarchy threw at her!! Go Monica!

Monica is absolutely gorgeous! We all make youthful mistakes. It should not follow someone for a lifetime. Good for her. Stunning.

I'm glad she still has a decent career, she deserves better.

I wish Monica Lewinsky the best and more!! Go girl!

She is extremely beautiful…good for her, she has come a long way.

Absolutely nothing special about her.

Monica normalized the wearing of thongs, one thing she should be lauded for.

geez, i hope she doesnt make any dresses with white spots

Not so fun fact: RepublicansHate it when Americans vote. Vote 💙 all the way through. 🇺🇸💪

She’s strong and an amazing role model for young women. Not for her affair, but for how she overcame the cruelty. 💪

''If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her.'' Donald tRUMP

Catherine Rampell appear condescending to me.

Good for her. It is time to remove that societal Scarlet Letter that was branded on her. She was young.

I disagree with Catherine Rampell, the Washington Post columnist being interviewed here. On first glance, these ads look like they are just fashion ads of an attractive woman wearing smart workwear with the voting message as just an add on. Just saying, ´No she looks great, the clothes look great´and ignoring the real message coming through is an attempt to dismiss the true power of these images, but I don´t think that power can be denied. It´s something that starts working on you long after you´ve seen them. The fact that it is Monica who is wearing them and the way her message of confidence, resilience, and overcoming injustice, sexism, and shaming come across is very powerful and not something that just any fashion model or even that most celebrities could achieve and the political message, while not so in your face, is something that no one who sees these images, will not eventually start to think about long after they´ve seen the images and forgotten about the clothes and the brand. It´s Monica and that´s everything. There is no one who was around at the time of the scandal in the 90s that will not think back to what happened back then and how the whole thing unfolded and how she was treated and how much strength it would take to come back and face the world like this and remind them of what was done to her and how important it is to think carefully about who we vote for, who are leaders are, how women have and are being treated in comparison to men, and holding those in positions of authority accountable for their actions. It´s only recently that there has been quite a lot of talk about how misogynistic the 90s were. And they were. Monica is not a celebrity. She inadvertently became a very public figure and the subject of shaming and ridicule worldwide. Monica has shown herself to be extremely intelligent and very tough. She made some very bad choices when she was young, but was made to suffer disproportionately and for decades, and all while the President of the United States, a man elected to lead the nation, got away with behaving unprofessionally and unethically, and with throwing her under the bus! While the main aim of these ads is clearly to present her in a completely different light and do successfully show her as being the powerful woman she is, I think the ads will actually also make more young people, especially women, think about voting and also about sexism and power and about who we put into power and holding the people that we put into positions of power accountable for their actions.

Good for her! It’s way past due that she pushed back and rebuilt her life.

She is great and what happened was about a President and she was blamed. You go girl.

1:46 _"the man didn't really have any consequences"_ Seeing how the "man" was, at the time, the most Powerful person in the world.

She has definitely changed. Bravo

Good for her! And I’m happy for her.

Get attention no matter what it is, good or bad and you will get rich. Kimkadasian family is the epitome of that.

Wow. She has always looked great but she looks like a model now. Wow.

CNN won't even mention the name of "the man" she was involved with. Ridiculous.

Stormy for president next.

If KimK can survive her self aggrandizing video, Monica should be provided the same grace!

She looks fantastic! Good for her.

It's like you're forgetting he got impeached for it

Yes she was "basically a kid", when the big boss took advantage of her in the oval office.

Good for her.

She's a class act. A hero.

I dont think the choice she made when she was 22 ruined her life. I see a strong woman, secure of herself, well spoken, n victorious. I wish Monica to continue success. Happy for her.

Go Monica! May this be her moment. She never deserved to be treated so badly.

Funny you didn't mention bill Clinton's part of it

She looks SO MUCH BETTER than she did back then.

get over it ….. 2 things . republicans will try to shame democrats but let’s just leave the republicans vile choices out of this for now. let’s leave monica alone. if we are to project every bad choice we had all made in our teens and twenties no one could walk outside or we would all become more tolerant

Wow , both of these women are incredibly condescending. Any number of people who vote that wouldn't normally is a good thing and can make a difference.look at Bobert winning by 500 votes.And the comment about "older people" why is ageism the last prejudice? I believe that Ms Lewinsky has had a successful life .

I thought she was selling cigars…

Not her again. Can she just go away for good?

The endless memes that could be made from this 🤣🤣🤣

She looks amazing! And she survived the country's attacks on het. Good on her!

Ivanka is Trump’s Monica.

Good for Monica Lewinsky.

Wonder how Bill feels about her now. No one would ever guess that in 25 years after the trials, Monica would be a brand ambassador.

To me ...Looks a professional model. I hope she finds her happy space in life and thrives.

Bill Clinton bought the first issue and Hillary's crying in shame

What is she selling this time, ScotchGuard coated dresses? 😂😂😂

She looks great! That was so long ago. She was a kid, he was the President. I could see this.

Cool. Good for her.

Bless her for everything she’s been through

Well done Monica.🇨🇦

She’s the new mouth of power

Glad to see her so successful....good for her. btw, another great "Human Interest" story from CNN....great break from politics...

LoL is this a joke 😂😂😂

I never put any shame on ! It falls on slick Willy! Monica proud of you!!!

She should be face of a major cigar brand.

Enough with shaming Monica Lewinsky, people act like if they never had sex with the wrong person, give me a break. She is a beautiful woman, she looks stunning in these pictures, you go Monica with your badass self.

Oh good for her! And she looks amazing.

im down with anything that pisses off Hillary and makes Bill's life a bit harder

... "I swear and I will say it again, I have never had ice-cream with that woman"... 🙂

She's taken control of her own narrative. She might not have the pull Taylor Swift has in getting out the vote, but Lewinsky won't hurt the GotV effort and she's firmly standing on the right side of history. So as others have said - You go, girl!

Seriously? “She turned it on its head!” ??

Leave it up to CNN to promote a 304. Thank God, no one watches them

''I've known Jeffrey Epstein 15 years. Terrific guy.'' Donald tRUMP

Monica rules.

People can change and forgiveness is divine. I do not believe that people should be branded for life. Its refreshing to see her come out on the other side of this tragedy. Inevitably we will all face trials in life and it is important to remember that all things pass. Never give up!

I am surprise she did not do some tide stain remover ads

Remember when Clarence Thomas came onto his intern Anita Hill and the Scandal that ensued?

''Jeffrey Epsteins lots of fun to be with.'' Donald tRUMP

Are we gonna see Monica at 30/50?

Well give that girl a cigar.

So much for women supporting women.

Way to go Monica!!!! A lofe well lived is the best revenge ❤

Clinton left a stain on the Presidency 😂

A fashion line that the skeet just rolls right off.

She’s gorgeous. I was too little to know anything about her, but I remember my parents making jokes about her.

She is remarkable and resilient. If she sticks to it, she will be fine.

Goodness! Let her do good works w/o criticizing her!

It's Monica's world, we just live in it.

she is a hustler and home wrecker. All the talks about activism can’t overcome the facts

The HEAD of the department

It was a shame of your society, not hers. She doesn't need to reinvent herself, society does. Don't glorify surviving, there's nothing glorious about it. Talk about how society and media ruins lives like in her case. Nothing's changed, it's worse. Just loook at this Cathrine...

Ruined her life? She's relevant today only because of those choices she made when she was younger. Take the good with the bad. 🤷🏾

This segment is weird.
