Julia Demer
Julia is a New York-based Style Editor at Livingetc with a sharp eye for the intersection of fashion and interiors. For her, style is everywhere — a great outfit and a stunning home are two sides of the same coin. Passionate about art, travel, and pop culture, Julia infuses each edit and article with a unique perspective and global flair.
Before joining Livingetc, Julia honed her expertise in fashion journalism and design. At L’Officiel USA, she reported on runway shows, emerging trends, and beauty must-haves, mastering the art of curating, SEO, and editing. But her style sensibilities were sharpened even earlier during her time at the luxury fashion label The Row, where she designed handbags and footwear, cementing her knack for high-end aesthetics from the very beginning.
At Livingetc, Julia's fashion-forward approach shines through as she explores the latest interior trends, buzziest collections, and hidden gems at big-box retailers. Her taste skews toward the luxurious, but she's equally enthusiastic about discovering affordable yet impossibly chic finds on Amazon. Julia is a master of the high-low mix, proving that, when done right, the result is always high-high.
Throughout her career, Julia has interviewed design heavyweights and tastemakers like Laila Gohar, Bobby Berk, Nate Berkus, Tyler Cameron, and generational "It" girl Cornelia Guest. Her goal is to spotlight the cool people who are really shaping the design industry. Read her work, and you'll be in the know.
Originally from sunny Los Angeles, Julia studied at the University of Arizona and Fordham University in New York City, where she now resides. Though she graduated with a B.S. in Psychology — originally on a pre-med track — she finds the experience invaluable, even if she's not using it directly. A former competitive equestrian, her love for the sport subtly influences her style (horse bits, anyone?). When she's not riding, you'll find Julia at barre class, sipping overpriced cocktails with friends, rummaging through vintage markets, and, whether it's in the clothes she wears, the food she eats, or the couch she sits on, practicing the art of style in every aspect of her life.
