Julia Fox Is No Longer Your Downtown Darling

Julia Fox sits down with Variety ahead of her new fashion show "OMG Fashun," premiering on E! with two back-to-back episodes on May 6.

Nearly 20 years ago in New York City, a young, restless, teenaged Julia Fox would wait patiently for her neighbors to throw out their trash before sneaking down to the basement and scavenging the recycling bins for magazines she could use to make collages. At this point, Fox is on her sixth hour of talking to press and I worry that she would be tired of these childhood anecdotes, like that of her digging in trash for inspiration as a teenager, that paint an easy, linear narrative from young, unruly teen to bonafide fashion icon. On her Instagram, you can find videos dating back to 2022 of her turning towels into high-fashion mini dresses; classic, high-waisted jeans into the low-waisted denims she’s since been photographed in countless times; a Hanes undershirt into a skin-baring two-piece set.
