Julia Fox reveals she had to sell items bought using ex’s credit card after he dumped her
Julia Fox detailed the labels that filled her cart that night. They included Chanel, YSL, Pucci, Mugler, Christian Lacroix, Alexander McQueen, and Versace. The designer’s total reached $68,000, according to the interview. “I had to sell them all when he dumped me,” She said, underscoring the financial and emotional aftermath with the Julia Fox ex.
The model-actor also discussed her daily habits and a stripped-back sleep routine. She said,“ I do own pyjamas but it’s too much effort to put them on just to go to sleep. I’m tired.” She described her go-to basics, including a white Hanes tee, and recent buys like a vintage Gaultier mesh top, stating, “They get sexier when they get weathered and thin from too much wear.”
Fox cited Isabella Blow as a fashion lodestar and singled out early McQueen as a dream archive. She mentioned her favorite pieces from Balenciaga that she keeps for their artistic value. She also talked about Selfridges as a preferred shopping destination.
Her three-word fashion mantra was cheeky: “A bad bitch.” On asking what the best fashion advice she ever received was, she bluntly stated, “F*** the haters! Keep doing you.”
Fox married pilot Peter Artemiev in a 2018 Vegas ceremony. She became widely known after “Uncut Gems” and later published the memoir “Down the Drain”. The interview notes her film “Him” is in cinemas now. Recent work and ongoing visibility keep Julia Fox in the fashion and culture conversation beyond the Julia Fox ex story.
