37-year-old fashion designer Alexander Wang has denied sexual assault accusations despite mounting claims by former male and transgender models. Instagram accounts @s**tmodelmgmt and @Diet_Prada shared stories from models alleging that Wang has sexually assaulted them.
In one account, model Owen Mooney posted a video to TikTok describing an incident where Wang openly groped his growing at New York nightclub in 2017. Mooney said, “I was by myself at one point and this guy next to me obviously took advantage of the fact that no one could fucking move and he just started like, touching me up.”
The model added, “And fully like, up my leg, in my crotch, like it made me freeze completely because I was in such shock. I looked to my left to see who it was, and it was this really famous fashion designer. Like, I couldn’t believe that he was doing that to me. It made me go into even more shock. It was really fucked up.”
Owen did not call out the designer by in the first video, but later confirmed it was Wang he was referring to in a follow-up post.
After Owen went public with his video, other male and trans models shared their own stories, with Shit Model Management about similar allegations. The Instagram account shared many anonymous and unverified stories of Wang’s alleged sexual assaults, including one person claiming that the designer spiking their drink with the street drug ecstasy.
S**t Model Management Instagram account has called the public to unfollow Wang with statement: “Alexander Wang has been accused of sexual assault for a few years now,” S**t Model Management wrote on their Instagram in a statement. “Instead of letting these occurrences be swept under the rug, it is time to do something about this. Please unfollow @alexwangny & @alexanderwangny to show your support to the victims.”
