full name Felicity Lydia Fox date of birth 08.08.93 (20) home town London, England current city New York City, NY. education Parsons The New School for Design, Fashion Design (BFA) occupation Student ________________________________________ I've always had a particular interest in fashion, even at a very young age. I guess this is kind of where Fiona and I found our bond...this was something we shared. Anyway. I've always dreamed of being a fashion designer. Opening up my own store. Own boutique. Or even making it big like Karl Lagerfield, Diane von Furstenberg, Chanel...you know, the big ones? Yeah. They've always been role models of mine. They inspired my want..my need for wanting to make a career out of a passion of mine. I didn't even get super serious about fashion until I was eleven or so. That's when I became this little fashionista. Against my parents wishes, you know. I would make clothes in my room, and developed my own sense of style and own sense of fashion. I felt that fashion helped me breakaway from the mold that my parents had set for us. This was the thing that was mine, just completely my own.  London has the London College of Fashion, but I wanted something bigger than that. I didn't want to stay in our hometown our entire lives. And, I certainly did NOT want to stay with the rest of the bunch. I adore my siblings so so so so much, but being with them for eighteen years was just enough to send one over the edge. I began researching colleges halfway through junior year, looking for the perfect place. I knew FIDM would be an option, but that was so far away from my siblings and London. The other option for me was Parsons The New School for Design. And since my visit two years ago, I was just completely dead set on it. I remember literally everything about that day, the interview day. I brought in my samples, sketches, portfolio, and even a full dress that I had designed and made by myself. And they loved me. They encouraged me. And they wanted me. A few weeks letter, I received the acceptance letter, and I've been in love with the city and the school ever since then.  ________________________________________ ________________________________________ The majority of my life, I've clung onto Fiona..for basically dear life. My mother has said that we came out of the womb clinging on to each other. And our bond has been unbreakable since then. We grew up together, as did the rest of my siblings, obviously. But she and I were just always around each other. We were always near each other. There were rare moments when I was never without Fiona...and vise versa. Wherever she went, I would go. The only time she wasn't around me was if I was with a boy or if she were with Ollie. We have always been the two closest out of our siblings, next to Francis and Florence, of course. When Fiona got sick, however. I never left her side. The days we spent in the hospital with her were quite possibly the scariest moments of my life. I've never felt more scared. Or unsure of what was going to happen to her. Though the doctors tried to reassure us thousands of times over, I never got the thought out of my head that there was a possibility that she could..you know, die. That thought was always in the back of my mind, me, being the worrier that I am. And when she went into remission, I was finally able to breathe easy again. I could never imagine life without Fiona. Ever. I guess the other thing, besides being born seconds apart, that bonded the two of us was our love of fashion. Mom always knew that we would end up in the city together, though we couldn't have ever dreamed of it in a million years. When Fi received her late acceptance to Parsons, in the fashion design program, we both jolted and screamed at the thought of living in New York together, and attending our dream school. Once Fiona got the clear from her doctors, we booked it to New York together and have been here ever since. I can't imagine my life without any of my siblings, but I certainly could not ever imagine my life without Fiona. ________________________________________ your name Karen     play-by  Josephine Skriver your most recent work Noooo...
