The Tate brothers, known for their toxic masculinity and facing accusations of rape and human trafficking, were spotted at Fashion Week parties in New York City, including an event at the Box nightclub. They were seen with Clavicular, an influencer who has promoted dangerous practices like 'bone smashing.' The group's presence at these events has raised concerns about the normalization of extremist ideologies in the fashion industry.

Why it matters

The infiltration of the 'manosphere' - an online subculture promoting misogynistic and extremist views - into high-profile events like Fashion Week highlights the concerning spread of these harmful ideologies. It raises questions about the fashion industry's responsibility in vetting attendees and preventing the platforming of individuals accused of serious crimes.

The details

Andrew and Tristan Tate, who have been charged with human trafficking and rape, were spotted at a Fashion Week party at the Box nightclub in New York City. They were seen with tequila at their table and 'left around 3:30 a.m. with a couple of pretty girls.' The Box is known for its sexually explicit stage shows. The party was not attached to a specific fashion show or designer, but was more of a general celebration of Fashion Week. Clavicular, an influencer known for promoting dangerous 'looksmaxxing' practices, also attended the event and walked in a show by controversial designer Elena Velez. Clavicular was later involved in an altercation at another nightclub.

  • On February 17, 2026, the Tate brothers and Clavicular were spotted at a Fashion Week party at the Box nightclub in New York City.

What they’re saying

“Andrew never drinks. He is Muslim and has not had a drink since his reversion years ago.”

— Lawyer for the Tate brothers

“It's New York f*cking Fashion Week. We're in f*cking New York. You walked for some other brand when you should be walking for your brand. We have no time to wait for Dolce and Gabbana or f*cking Prada, or any of these f****ts to get their act together. They're all losers. I'm rich.”

— Andrew Tate

What’s next

The Tate brothers and Clavicular's continued presence at high-profile events like Fashion Week will likely continue to draw scrutiny and criticism, raising questions about the fashion industry's vetting processes and responsibility in platforming individuals accused of serious crimes.

The takeaway

The infiltration of the 'manosphere' into Fashion Week highlights the concerning normalization of extremist ideologies in the fashion industry and the need for greater accountability and vetting of event attendees to prevent the spread of harmful, misogynistic views.
