AOC
Designer of AOC's 'Tax the Rich' dress responds to criticism
Aurora James, who designed the dress worn by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) at the 2021 Met Gala, responds to conservative backlash over her "tax the rich" dress that Ocasio-Cortez wore to the event.
Despite the criticism, the bold statement made by Ocasio-Cortez with the dress sparked conversations about wealth inequality and the need for the rich to pay their fair share of taxes. The designer's response highlights the power of fashion as a form of activism and expression.
