Julia Fox Takes 2000s Dolce & Gabbana and Galliano-Era Dior to the Red Carpet
There are few people who understand the art of a fashion statement quite like Julia Fox. For her appearance at Club Kid during NewFest 2026, the actress and style provocateur turned to two pieces of early-2000s fashion history, sourced from Into Archive's collection of archival designer pieces.
Fox visited the Into Archive showroom to pull the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2003 Dark-Washed Denim Pants with Buttons and the Christian Dior by John Galliano Spring/Summer 2004 Columbus Street Chic Shoulder Bag, bringing together two defining visions of early-2000s fashion.
A Dolce & Gabbana Denim Moment
The Dolce & Gabbana SS 2003 denim pants capture the unapologetic sensuality that defined the Italian house in the early aughts. With their dark wash and button detailing, the trousers embody an era when denim was anything but basic. It was designed to make a statement.
Under Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, denim became an essential part of the label's provocative, body-conscious aesthetic. The Spring/Summer 2003 piece offers a glimpse into that distinctive design language, where everyday wardrobe staples were transformed into something decidedly more expressive.
On Julia Fox, the archival find feels right at home. Known for pushing boundaries between fashion, performance, and personal expression, Fox has made a name for herself by treating clothes as more than just clothes. They're part of the character, the conversation, and the spectacle.
Galliano-Era Dior, Always in Style
Completing the pull is the Dior Spring/Summer 2004 Columbus Street Chic Shoulder Bag, from the John Galliano era at the French fashion house.
Galliano's tenure at Dior remains one of the most celebrated periods in the house's history, remembered for its theatrical runway presentations, inventive references, and accessories that captured the spirit of the moment. The early-2000s collections continue to resonate with collectors and stylists drawn to fashion's more experimental side.
Paired with the Dolce & Gabbana denim, the Dior bag brings another layer of archival fashion history to Fox's look. Together, the pieces reflect the enduring appeal of original designer creations: their ability to feel connected to a specific moment in fashion while finding an entirely new life years later.
Sourced From the Into Archive Showroom
Both pieces were pulled from Into Archive, the New York-based archival fashion showroom and marketplace dedicated to sourcing distinctive designer pieces from across eras.
From rare runway-era clothing to collectible accessories, the archive brings together pieces that continue to inspire contemporary styling. Fox's showroom visit is a reminder that the most compelling fashion moments often begin with discovering something that already has a story to tell.
As interest in archival fashion continues to shape the way stylists, collectors, and fashion enthusiasts approach dressing, pieces from the early 2000s remain especially relevant. For Fox, Dolce & Gabbana and Dior offer two different expressions of that era, brought together through a distinctly modern lens.
