Jewelry Designer Lili Murphy-Johnson Is Tired Of Your Period Stigma
British designer Lili Murphy-Johnson isn’t afraid to talk about periods. In fact, she’s sick and tired of the stigma associated with women and menstruation. Months after artist Rupi Kaur encountered the wrath of Instagram censorship with her “period photos,” Etsy deemed images of Murphy-Johnson’s period-inspired jewelry “inappropriate.” The designer conceded that some of her photos were “quite naked,” but she remained perplexed by the idea that they were any more offensive than the near-nude advertisements she sees throughout London on a regular basis.
Murphy-Johnson’s blood red jewelry line is inspired by the beauty of menstruation.
