No, that’s not Kanye West’s merit: who is actually responsible for Julia Fox’s style?

Since January 2022, the paparazzi have pointed their camera lenses at the bright target, and searches for the girl’s name have grown exponentially on Google with each passing day. Guess what we’re talking about? Of course, it’s about the newly minted style icon Julia Fox. In four short months, the Italian-American actress managed to break up with Kanye West, walk in several dozen candid images, gain popularity and even recognition from a good half of the industry.

It is no longer referred to as Mr. Ye’s temporary passion, rather Fox has become an independent unit, not a +1 prefix. After each new publication (many of which he created himself), the headlines of the most authoritative glossy media unanimously repeat that it is his future. So who is behind his dramatic transformation? Here’s a little spoiler: This isn’t Kanye West.

Julia Fox was conceived by her longtime friend Briana Andalore, who gave a big interview with Dazed yesterday and told a lot of interesting things about collaboration, acquaintance and even Kanye West. We’ve put together some facts about the author of the flashy debuts from Fox that will surely surprise you.

ordinary acquaintance

Fox and Andalore met at a club in New York when they were both 16 years old. “We met at a party. He had a cat with him and I had illegal items in a backpack (We remind you that the use of narcotics and other prohibited substances is dangerous for life and health.), it was a union made in heaven,” Briana Dazed said.

Franziska Fox Brand

The first collaboration between Fox and Andalore took place more than a decade ago. They were just over 20 at the time. “We were living in the apartment and suddenly we decided to make our own clothing line. We launched it six months later. It was tough, but many times more fun,” he said. This is how the Franziska Fox brand, which lasted for several years, was born. Although Julia was the face of the brand, Andalor was mainly responsible for styling and production. He lived for some time in Vietnam, where a small factory was located.

Willing to do anything for art

A few months ago, when everyone started talking about Julia Fox, we talked about her art activities. In 2015 and 2016, the actress published 2 photo books: “PTSD” (post-traumatic stress disorder. – Ed.) and “Symptoms of a spoiled relationship: heartburn / nausea.” And in 2017, RIP held the Julia Fox exhibition. The artist (the media wrote about him at the time) dedicated this project to exposing erotic and fetishistic elements in historically taboo areas.

For one of these artworks, Briana Andalor gave some of her blood. “We did everything to support each other,” she shared.

Romance with Mr. Ye

At the beginning of January, the Kanye West era began in Julia Fox’s life. And the style of the actress has changed dramatically. At first, all the headlines in the glossy media insisted that after breaking up with Kim, Mr. Ye was trying to make another style icon out of his new passion. But was it really so? It turns out that all three of these months have been working on the new Fox style. “It all started with some kind of challenge. “Let’s do 30 photos for 30 days,” Kanye later said. We literally did it in two days or less,” he said. And after that, Fox and Andalore gained access to Kanye’s archives. “Getting into Ye’s archive was incredible, a huge warehouse in Los Angeles with loads of Balenciaga material.”

By the way, in the same interview, Briana said that they made a moodboard and then sent it to Kanye West. She marked the things she liked and sent it back. This is a very interesting collaboration.

A union made in heaven

The collaboration between Julia Fox and Briana Andalore is a perfect example of how a stylist should work with a client. “We’re like brothers because we don’t care what people say,” Andalore says. After breaking up with Kanye, interest in Julia did not decrease, on the contrary, it increased significantly. Each of her publications is closely watched by the entire fashion community. With Andalor’s help, sex, extremism, and rock and roll came back into fashion.
