LOS ANGELES (AP) — After taking a break amid sexual assault allegations, fashion designer Alexander Wang’s comeback to the runway was greeted with adoration during his highly anticipated show in Los Angeles. Some shouted “This is amazing” and “I love it” while others cheered on Wang’s 50-look collection for his “Fortune City” runway show that celebrated Asian-American culture in the historic Chinatown area Tuesday night. The admiration from the crowd was a welcomed sight for Wang, who held his first show since 2019 just before several people accused him of sexual assault and drugging male and transgender models. Wang initially denied the allegations. Last year, he said in a statement that he disagreed with some of the accuser’s details adding he would “set a better example” as a public figure.
