"Storytelling is the heart of my design process. Each collection is a chapter in a broader narrative, weaving together threads of my culture, experiences, sustainability, and contemporary influences. I draw inspiration from Sweden, my home country, and mix it with my experience of American fashion in New York. I strive to intertwine the elegance of Nordic simplicity and attention to detail and craftmanship, with the vibrancy of New York City's eclectic and diverse energy."
Julia attends the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, USA, where she is pursuing a BFA in Fashion Design with double minors in Economics and Ethics & Sustainability. She was selected for the most competitive study abroad program at FIT, and spent her fifth semester studying knitwear at Central Saint Martins, London, UK. She also has multiple internship experiences including at KHAITE, Toteme, and Rodebjer.
