Adam Khafif (right), founder and CEO of Boston-based Lis’n Up Clothing, emails, “Lis’n Up collaborated with journalist Noor Tagouri (left) to call attention to sex trafficking and slavery. ‘Girl’ is written backwards and crossed out on each piece of clothing in the collection. This design parallels our logo, based on a quote by Jean-Michel Basquiat: ‘I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.’ Noor and I are shown with Johnny Earle, founder of Johnny Cupcakes, where we held a pop-up event in June.”
