Julia Fox Says Celebrities Have a Civic \u2018Duty\u2019 to Fans: \u2018Fashion Is Inherently Political\u2019: <\/h1>\n

Julia Fox is running for public office for being the best dressed and most civically minded.<\/p>\n

The multi-hyphenate talent and creator of E! reality series \u201cOMG Fashun\u201d exclusively told IndieWire that she was determined to showcase sociopolitical issues through garments in the series. Fox and Scout Productions pitched the competition show to NBC, billing it as \u201cChopped\u201d meets \u201cProject Runway\u201d as contestants craft clothes using unusual items.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just doesn\u2019t seem real, still,\u201d Fox said of having her own series. \u201cMy whole thing is trying to support emerging talent in any way. But I also was like, if I\u2019m going to be putting something out on such a big platform, I want to make sure that [in] each episode, we touch on themes that really get people to think. It could be the single-use plastic crisis or sexual wellness or gender norms. I just really wanted each episode to just lightly touch on those topics that are so important to me, but in a way that doesn\u2019t feel preachy, where it can still be fun and lighthearted while also exploring themes that are super, super significant right now in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those materials range from condoms to plastic bottles and other recyclables. Judges Fox and Law Roach are joined by guests Phaedra Parks, Tommy Dorfman, Pretty Vee, Violet Chachki, Wisdom Kaye, Lauren McCarthy, Jordan Roth, and Fox\u2019s own stylist Briana Andalore to crown a winning \u201cdisruptor\u201d designer. Each week\u2019s winner is awarded a $10,000 cash prize and gets their look modeled by Fox.<\/p>\n

Fox co-hosts the show, now streaming on Peacock, with stylist Roach, whom she calls her \u201cidol.\u201d Fox admitted that she was \u201cinsecure\u201d at first whether Roach would sign on; she deemed it the \u201chappiest day of my life\u201d when he did.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that we would create something extraordinary together because all he does is extraordinary,\u201d Fox said. \u201cHe made me feel so much more confident in the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roach most recently went viral for his collaborations with Zendaya for the \u201cChallengers\u201d press tour.<\/p>\n

The series \u201cOMG Fashun\u201d has a specific message for fans while also being binge-able and entertaining, which is something that Fox and Roach agreed upon from the start.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t all just about fashion, although it is because I do think that fashion is inherently political,\u201d Fox said. \u201cIt\u2019s our duty as people in the public eye, or when you\u2019re given an opportunity of this grandeur, to have it be more significant than just like a fashion show.\u201d<\/p>\n
