Business Class

Feast your eyes on beautiful businesswoman and personal fashion stylist JULIA JUDY…

Tell us a bit more about yourself, Julia.
I grew up in a super rural town in Ohio, U.S.A. and started modelling when I was 16. I loved it from the very start — it helped build my confidence and gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand about the fashion and beauty industry. When I was 19 I studied abroad in Florence, Italy for four months and I absolutely fell in love with the culture there. I learnt a lot about myself and what matters in life during that time. After Italy, I attended college at The Ohio State University and earned my four-year degree in communication and business. I graduated last spring and now I’m living out my dream of starting my own business as a personal shopper and stylist while still modelling as well.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’d say that I look more unapproachable than I really am. I’m very open-minded, like to laugh and talk to people but from the outside perspective and to those who don’t know me sometimes my look can be fierce.

When do you feel sexy?
I feel sexy when I can be my authentic self — especially in lingerie, of course.

What is your best asset?
I’d say my smile — I love using it.

What would do if you weren’t modelling?
If I had to have another main career I most likely would have studied naturopathy and been a holistic doctor. I’m passionate about health and wellbeing and I think natural medicine is fascinating. I do believe that living and organic food can be a big part of medicine.

What have you learnt about men over the years?
I’ve learnt that they are pretty simple creatures, haha. You have to let them think that they are right most of the time and make sure that they are not hungry. I also believe that you should let them confide in you and let them be vulnerable around you.

Describe your ideal man.
Trust is the number one virtue for me. I also love confidence and ambition in a man. I like when a man dreams big and works hard but can relax when we’re together.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
That we want them to take the lead in a relationship and we like it when men take the initiative on things.

Have you ever been to Australia?
Not yet, it has been on my travel bucket list ever since I was a kid! I’m looking forward to Australia one day to check out the beaches and the wildlife, but mostly meeting the people. I’ve heard that they’re incredibly joyful and kind.

Finally, any upcoming projects you want to spruik?
Yes, check out my personal fashion styling business! I offer one-on-one image consultations, personal shopping, closet audits, custom clothing design and much more. It’s all at @juliajudystyling.
