Julia Fox spring-cleaned her wardrobe by turning discarded pieces into a public style event rather than donating them to thrift stores. She partnered with eBay and Drafting for an installment of e-tailer stoop sale programming in Tribeca on May 16, where style fans lined up to buy from a curated set of 400 items. In-person shoppers could purchase on-site, while remaining items stayed available through her official eBay store page. The selection included boots from her Uncut Gems wardrobe, a viral MetroCard outfit, and bedazzled Steve Madden pumps worn to her wedding. Fox said she kept some items for years but ultimately did not plan to wear them again. Proceeds supported the Rosebuds Reading Collective, which supports incarcerated women at Rikers Island. She also framed giving clothes new meaning as empowering and described keeping items from ex-partners as treating them as objects rather than emotional attachments.
"Julia Fox is spring cleaning - but instead of hauling her discarded pieces to the nearest thrift store, she turned her legendary wardrobe into a full-blown style event. Her unhinged-in-the-best-way fashion archive deserves more than hanging at a random vintage store. After all, these aren't just clothes; they're genuine cultural artifacts that deserve new owners who'll wear them just as chicly and rebelliously as she did."
"Thankfully, Fox understood the assignment: She teamed up with eBay and fashion-favorite newsletter Drafting for the latest installment of the e-tailer's ongoing stoop sale series. On May 16, style obsessives lined up around the block in New York's Tribeca neighborhood just to grab a piece of Fox's history. The 400-item curation featured some of her most iconic lookbook moments. While in-person attendees grabbed pieces on-site, fans can still score remaining items through her official eBay store page, including the boots straight from her Uncut Gems wardrobe, her viral MetroCard 'fit - and even the bedazzled Steve Madden pumps she wore to her wedding."
""I just didn't wear them," Fox tells Bustle on-site at the sale. "I was never going to wear them again." Though she held onto the sparkly pair for nearly a decade, parting ways with them wasn't an emotional heartbreak; it was a reality check. And since her sale's proceeds would benefit the Rosebuds Reading Collective - a book-centered organization supporting incarcerated women at Rikers Island - she didn't think twice."
""As long as there's no emotional attachment to [a partner], we can give the clothes a new identity and a new emotional essence. We're so powerful," she says. In fact, Fox openly advocates for hoarding treasures from past relationships. "Keep everything that an ex gives you," she says. "I have so many things that boyfriends have given me. To me, they're just a thing.""
