Childhood and Teenage Years

Julia Fox was born on February 2, 1990 in Milan. Her mother is Italian and her father is American. The family belonged to the working class. Julia had two brothers. There was not enough money to live on, with parents constantly bickering with each other. The girl found her escape from scandals in her grandfather's house.

A few years later, the family moved to New York. Here the relationship of the parents finally hit rock bottom, and they got divorced. It was difficult for mom to provide for three children at once, so the girl stayed with her father.

In the bustling metropolis, Fox became fascinated with its nightlife. From the age of 14, she went to clubs, drank alcohol, used drugs and met new people.

Julia earned the money for her entertainment dreams herself. She worked as a salesgirl in a stockings and socks shop, often skipping school to take an extra shift. Also, she worked in a candy store and an ice cream shop. She spent her meager earnings in clubs.

Her club adventures did not leave her unscathed. In 2007, the girl had an overdose. Later, she said that at that moment she lost consciousness and felt how "her soul rushed up to heaven." When she woke up, she decided to give up this dangerous addiction forever.

In high school, 18-year-old Julia became a dominatrix. She accidentally stumbled upon an ad looking for candidates who can satisfy men’s masochistic desires. Employers promised that she would not have to have sex with clients or take off her clothes. “I just walked into the room and acted like I was in charge,” Fox recalled.

Six months of work brought Fox a good amount of capital. She was able to rent an apartment, moved out from her father’s place, and invested the rest of her money in a business. Julia became the co-owner of a New York nightclub, together with a friend launched a women's clothing brand, and became liberated and confident in her own beauty.

Career Path

Julia began to pose for artists and photographers. Her photographs have appeared in Vogue, Paper, Interview, V, Office, CR Fashion Book magazines. About five years of hard work paid off. In 2014, Fox was named New York City's "Hottest Muse" by Elle.

At the same time, she released a photo book, "Symptoms of a relationship gone sour: Heartburn/Nausea," and another the following year, titled "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." There, she not only showed her own erotic pictures, but also admitted that she had mental problems.
