Her entire attitude and fashion choices have given her not only friendship and admiration of influential designers but also invitations to walk their pieces in different fashion shows, making her a highly requested face in fashion weeks around the world.
But first, who is Julia Fox?
Born on February 2, 1990 in Milan and have been raised in New York since she was six years old, Julia Fox is an Italian-American that started her career as an actress just in 2018. Before that, Julia ventured into various jobs, ranging from poet to writer, photographer, and even painter. Fox’s first significant role was in the 2019 film Uncut Gems, which allowed her a Breakthrough Actor nomination at the 2019 Gotham Awards. Furthermore, Julia has already had coming future projects. Her next character will be as Carrie White in a movie based on the best-seller “Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life,” which was a memoir about White’s work as a hairdressing legend.
However, it is impossible to talk about Julia Fox’s success and not to mention her fast relationship with Kanye West. Undeniably, West -now called Ye- was responsible for helping Fox to encounter her style, being the game changer to make her become this superstar and influential trendsetter. The woman has become a valid showcase for big brands after her first appearance beside Kanye at the Paris Fashion Week considering that’s all because of his influence in the fashion world.
The affair that worked out
Kanye West´s relationship with the fashion world started in the 90s when big hip-hop names created their brands connecting their music and styles to the public. Nevertheless, it was only after Ye’s internship in 2008 at Fendi that the singer became a reference in the fashion industry. Louis Vuitton, Nike, Balmain, Adidas, GAP, and Balenciaga are just a few names that made big hit collabs with Kanye West. Moreover, the celebrity has a brand called Yeezy, responsible for having cool shoes that are highly disputed nowadays. Besides his talent for creating aesthetic and buzz marketing, Ye has a strategic vision and uses fashion as a weapon to give visibility to people that, just like him, don’t feel represented by big fashion brands.
Not the first time
On the other hand, that’s not the first time Kanye impacted a woman. During his relationship with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West completely transformed his partners style. In that case, Ye changed Kim’s hyper-sexualized aesthetic to a more artistic one. Due to this modification, the businesswoman became a reference for many women worldwide.
Mentioning Julia Fox, the affair with Kanye West may have ended, but her journey in the fashion world has not. Quite the opposite, it’s secure to state that it’s just Fox´s beginning.
