Walker also addressed the lawsuit in an Instagram post that goes deeper into the claim.
“Setting the record straight. To my tribe … I’m taking legal action against Virgil Abloh’s company Off-White, Saks Fifth Avenue, Farfetch, and all other relevant parties, and for the record, taking a stand not just for myself, but for all women and black and brown creators across the world. … This attitude with designers like Off-White and sellers like Saks and Farfetch of “taking, making and regurgitating” our magic and selling it back to us with a price tag has to change. This incident reminds me of the nasty issues of the fashion industry [like] double oppression, gender and race,” Walker wrote in the post.
“Amends must be made. From Dapper Dan to Pyer Moss to Tyler Perez and many more, we’ve encountered countless violations, but the future must be brighter than its pillaging past. Off- White and Saks I# have made clear that they won’t stop, so I filed a complaint in federal court and I’m not going to be outgunned,” part of Walker’s post reads.
