Behind the Scenes: Julia Pereira for Journelle

Julia, Lingerie Model Hottie

“Zen Brazilian Babe”

Where are you from?

São Sebastião, which is in the southern part of Brazil.

How did you get started in modeling?

When I was 16, I started doing some modeling in Brazil. And then when I was 17 I really started to travel and model more seriously. I went to Milan, Barcelona, Paris, everywhere in Europe. Now I model mostly in NY and Miami.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?

I loved math growing up, but I don’t know if I would do anything with that now. I would definitely do something related to fashion. Or maybe real estate. I’m involved in some real estate in Brazil. My dream though is to open my own gym/spa. It would be all zen and all organic.

Favorite lingerie?

I definitely love everything from Journelle, because it’s not vulgar. I like to mix and match everything though; I love underwear!

Favorite fashion designer?

Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs.

Favorite NY spot?

I like Provocateur, which is a club/lounge in the Meatpacking District. I like that it’s not so loud that you can’t hear other people when they talk to you.

Celebrity style that you love?

Kate Moss.

We have to ask–what’s your workout secret?

The big thing I learned is, don’t do just aerobics and don’t go overboard. When I first started modeling, I did aerobics all the time and I developed tendinitis. Now, I do a mix of aerobics and strength. I mostly take classes at Equinox, and I love Body Pump and Kickboxing. I have a scar from boxing!
