“Both in my work and in my life, this duality of strength and sensibility that women possess is something that constantly inspires me,” Leovy said.

Monrovia, Calif.-based Joah Love was founded in 2008 by Korean-American designer Ahyoung Stobar, whose own history with domestic abuse prompted her to create a brand that supported survivors.

The casual wear brand, which outfits women and kids in matching tie-dye sets, biker shorts, T-shirts and other staples, donates a percentage of sales, along with clothing and masks, to Los Angeles’ Violence Intervention Program.
