Julia Fox Didn’t Want to Be Famous, but She Knew She Would Be

Fox mainly remembers her life in the registers of beauty and violence. Born in Italy, she spends early childhood with her grandfather, who makes zabaglione with eggs and sugar; she loves the emergency room and “the warm, calming sensation of knowing that I’m going to be taken care of.” When she visits New York, she sleeps in squats and in houses under renovation by her father, a contractor, but when she moves there, at age six, she has her own room with clouds painted on the ceiling.
