Photography Julia Fox, Franziska Fox, Danica Kleinknecht, David Alexander Flinn
Julia Fox is appealing, fact! She is one-half of design label Franziska Fox (other half is her BFF Briana Andalore) and she is the ultimate dream girl. LES girl. Look, it’s a pure fact we are crushing hard on her, but you know, she just has that extra something, she is just engaging and hard to forget. Also Jules gives best quotes, like this one on love “I think it’s the most dangerous. Like to give your heart to someone knowing that they have the power to break it, but doing it anyway. Heart break is a luxury in my opinion. In a lot of places in the world there’s no time for that. People are worried about how they’re going to get their next meal. There’s no time to cry over someone. So like when I see someone heart broken and hysterical I almost wanna be like “you’re so lucky shut up”. But you don’t know pain unless you’ve had your heart crushed. But it’s so good. It’s like so fucking good.” So yeah it’s always fun to talk to Jules because you never know what kind of ‘words of wisdom’ are going to come out of her mouth. We sat down with her and discussed few things. Like who can have her, what does she dream about and what’s her ultimate fantasy…
How are you?
I have ups and downs. Good days and bad days. Today was a good day. Yesterday was a bad day. I never really know… Thanks for asking.
What do you say when people ask you, ‘What do you do?’.
I usually say artist. When I say fashion designer then I get a million questions and then I have to pull up the line and show them…I can’t deal. Especially in the south where I’ve been living… If I say fashion designer then i feel like it may sound pretentious or something. And it’s off putting. But if I’m in New York or another big city I obviously rep my brand Franziska fox.
When do you feel most happy?
When all my friends are at home and we have nothing to do besides sit next to each other on our phones.
When do you feel most naked/bare?
When my emotions show on my face. I’m usually pretty good at hiding them but sometimes they take over and I lose control, then afterward I feel ashamed or something.
That’s when I feel the most vulnerable. Never when I’m actually naked.
What scares you?
Sometimes the past does because I can’t believe some of the things I allowed to happen. Sometimes the future does because I second guess everything and I’m always doubting my abilities. I always do this and then everything turns out fine but I can’t stop because I feel like they turn out fine because I doubt myself beforehand. It’s a vicious cycle.
What was your best date?
Never had one.
What was your worst date?
I ended up on an island with this guy and he was awful and his friends were awful and so pretentious and preppy and boring as hell and I was just like thinking to myself: I’m too real for this bs, get me the fuck out of here.
What do you dream about?
Having a million kids.
What is your ultimate fantasy?
Having a million kids that I can support on my own without a guy.
Who can have you?
Only my friends who are basically my family.
How do you see yourself?
It really depends on the day. Some days I feel like a renaissance woman and other days I feel fat and lethargic.
Which song could serve as a soundtrack of your life?
Right now Ariel Pink – Picture me gone.
But it always changes/ depends on the day.
If you could be one character from a book or a movie, which would you be?
I know it’s cliche but definitely Holden from catcher in the rye by JD Salinger.
What is the best advice someone has ever given to you?
My mom told me to be nice to everyone because I may need something from them one day. Great advice. Lol.
