Talita / HOPE Sthlm: Victim Cardigans

Embed Video
Top 6: February 1st 2023
In Sweden, one out of ten men have paid for sex. A scary number that shows no sign of decline. Talita, a Swedish non-profit that helps women out of prostitution and into a new life, took the most common excuses and turned them into a fashion collection, in order to put men’s behaviour in the spotlight. In Swedish, 'playing the victim card' can be directly translated into 'wearing the victim cardigan', an idiom that was literally put to use in this campaign, in order to grab the public’s attention. Limited edition 'Victim Cardigans' were launched by Talita in collaboration with fashion brand HOPE Sthlm.
Agency: Akestam Holst
The cardigans were based on the most common excuses used by men arrested for solicitation. The embroidery on the cardigans also reveals the exposure to violence, drugs, and poverty among the women exploited in the sex industry.
