Julia Fox walks the ramp at New York Fashion Week after breakup with Kanye West

Julia Fox walked the ramp for designer LaQuan Smith at New York Fashion Week after her breakup with rapper Kanye West.

Julia Fox, fresh from her breakup with the artist formerly known as Kanye West, opened LaQuan Smith’s New York Fashion Week show in black as the designer honored his beloved late mentor, Andre Leon Talley, with a moment of silence on Monday night inside a century-old private club.

After the show, Fox spoke to The Associated Press about her split with Ye. “I love Kanye. We’re still very good friends and I wish him nothing but the best,” she said.

The breakup with Fox after six weeks of dating came as Ye has ranted on social media about his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian West, and new beau Pete Davidson. On Sunday night, Valentine’s Day, he posted a truckload of red roses he had delivered to the Hidden Hills, California, mansion where Kim lives with their four children. It’s a home they once shared.

To open Smith’s show, Fox wore a high-neck, long-sleeve black evening dress with cutouts at the midriff, chest and back that hugged her body at the 163-year-old club in the Financial District. Like other clubs of the time, the Down Town Association — filled with marble and deep-stained wood — was once male-only but began admitting women in 1985. Its walls remain adorned with painted portraits of white men.

Smith, a rare Black designer to establish himself at New York Fashion Week, remains a go-to for the young and happy party. He told the AP in a backstage interview that he chose the club because he was looking for a change in mood after taking over the observation deck of the Empire State Building last September for his fashion week show.

The women who buy his clothes, Smith said, are “all about being the center of attention.” They won’t be disappointed with his bold use of color and sequins, or his sparkly leotards worn with low-slung pants, back thong out. But this season, it wasn’t just about baring skin.

33-year-old Smith established his namesake brand in 2013. He has dressed Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian West and Hailey Bieber.
