Uncut Gems Fox: Julia Fox's Journey from Knitwear Designer to Provocateur

Julia Fox's life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, to say the least. From designing knitwear in her 20s to modeling for Playboy, she has always pushed boundaries. Her teenage years were marked by bad boyfriends, petty crime, and drug use, which landed her in a psychiatric ward at just 16 years old. Despite this, Fox never let her circumstances define her.

In fact, her latest book, Down the Drain, is a riposte to everyone who has underestimated her throughout her life. From her parents, who neglected her, to men who abused her, and even the industry that refused to take her seriously, Fox is determined to prove them all wrong. Born in Milan but raised in New York from the age of six, she has always been a force to be reckoned with.

Fox's latest book is a shocking and brilliant memoir that reads like a disturbing thriller. It chronicles her life, which includes kidnap, robbery, car chases, guns, detectives, money printing, heroin overdoses, domestic and sexual abuse, psych wards, sex dungeons, and sugar daddies. Despite the darkness of her past, Fox is unapologetic about her experiences.

When I met her at London's Ham Yard Hotel, I was struck by her demure appearance in a cream-colored suit that left not a single inch of skin visible. She carried an entirely regular handbag and sat down to chat with me over a bowl of soup. It was hard to reconcile this polite and refined woman with the provocative persona she has cultivated.

In fact, just last May, Fox was spotted grocery shopping in her underwear, nonchalantly carrying a pair of sewn-up jeans as a handbag. And it's not just her fashion sense that is unconventional - she has been known to wear dresses made entirely out of condoms and knee-high boots made of cellophane.

The night before our interview, I saw paparazzi pictures of Fox strolling through central London wearing what appeared to be a transparent dry-cleaning bag with a coat hanger around her neck. It's clear that she is not afraid to take risks and push boundaries in all aspects of her life.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Fox remains unapologetic about who she is and what she wants. As she says herself, 'If I wrote about every time I was arrested, every time I was hospitalized, I could have written a trilogy.' It's clear that Julia Fox is a force to be reckoned with, and we can't wait to see what she does next.
