This month, the self-proclaimed muse and New York it girl Julia Fox walked the runway for Alexander Wang’s first show since 2019. She wore a sheer mesh dress and oversized blazer, but the revealing outfit did not distract some viewers from what they see as a glaring hypocrisy: Wang was accused of sexual assault by multiple people in 2020. Though he denied the allegations at the time, Wang later said he would “set a better example” in the future. Months later, he reportedly apologized to 11 of his accusers in a meeting orchestrated by the attorney Lisa Bloom.
On TikTok, where she has over 1.7 million followers, Fox – who has been outspoken in her support for victims of abuse and domestic violence – responded to criticisms of her support for the designer. “I love cancel culture but we do need to leave room for rehabilitation and for those who put in the work and heal and learn from their mistakes,” she wrote on the app.
