Born and raised in Bogotá. Currently living in New York City.
My parents, nomadic by nature, have exposed me to various sceneries during my years of existence. Many interesting characters have crossed my path, delighting my life with their presence, and helping me define myself as an individual.
Simplicity is not a word found under my description, but it is something that I aim for. God, perfection, and love are subjects of my interest. Art, specially fashion, is my passion and career.
My name is pronounced hoo-LYAHN, but people call me Julián.
This is a space dedicated to the exhibition of my work and own thoughts.
