After naming Pete Davidson its Official Boyfriend in its last campaign, Reformation is entering a new era with the Divorce collection, featuring high-profile attorney Laura Wasser. “We understand this may come as a surprise, given that we just announced last year that we got a boyfriend,” said the brand in a campaign announcement. “But things change… We’re just ready to move on, get back out there, feel sexy again.”
Empowering and as romantic as ever, Reformation's new collection includes standout styles like the compliment-getting, off-the-shoulder Carrera Dress, and a limited-edition Dump Him Sweatshirt, from which 100% of the net proceeds go to the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law, which provides free legal services to people navigating challenging domestic situations.
