Fashion industry disruptor Aurora James

Of all the labels in the fashion world, the ones applied to designer Aurora James are among the most eye-catching. At 38 years old, she has been called the fashion industry's "number one disrupter," who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. Case in point: Her "Tax the Rich" dress, worn by New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the Met Gala in 2021, that raised eyebrows around the world.

The tale of James' meteoric rise has been documented by others, but now she's telling it herself in a memoir called "Wildflower."

She admitted that others have asked if she is a bit young to write an autobiography.
