This isn’t the first time that the Edie has been open about her issues in the fashion world. In 2017, Edie wrote a personal essay in WWD where she expressed her problems with the industry. “We operate within a culture that is too accepting of abuse, in all of its manifestations. This can be the ritual humiliation of models, belittling of assistants, power plays and screaming fits.

Our inaction makes us complicit.” She continued: “This is a moment for us all to examine the behavior we have normalized. Fashion is a closed world, and fiercely self-protective. But it is time to reassess, and it is time to start regulating ourselves.
