thePULSEBy Katherine Dalton-Hoffman
Along with a fashion launch and television pilot, the fashion guru has continued to style artists. “Right now I’m styling a lot of up-and-comers for shows and music videos,” says Mollo. “It’s fun to work with fashion that isn’t my own.”
When asked about her personal style, Mollo confesses, “My designs are so colorful, however, I love to wear black because there’s so much you can do with it.” Don’t think she’s keeps it Plain Jane, though. “I always make sure to wear lipstick and accessories ~ even my shoes will be bright red and glittery.”
With so many projects in the works, it is easy to see Mollo has much to look forward to in the future. From circle skirts to hair flair, she most certainly puts the fun back in fashion and we’re excited to see where her talents take her next!

“I want people to have more fun with fashion…everyone should be happy when they get dressed in the morning,” says Julie Mollo, fashion designer and Grafton native.
The Pulse last spoke with Mollo in 2008 after she gained fame for styling pop icon Katy Perry for such high profile events as the “VMAs,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and the Vans Warped Tour. Four years later, Mollo’s career has, as we knew it would, blossomed. “Right now I’m designing dresses for party girls and prom queens and I recently launched my show collection in New York City. Since then I’ve been in a transitional stage, in talks to get my designs produced in factories instead of making each piece by hand.”
Additionally, Mollo has been working with Katrina Eugenia, her close friend and photographer, and with editor Ted Hesse, on filming a pilot for their reality show, “The Julie Mollo Show.” From her “food, fashion, and fun” Home Economics Tumblr, she explains, “It would be about more than just fashion. It would be about me, how I live my NYC life and how I could help people live a more fun, productive existence, and it would be based off of this blog.” While she can’t tell us which networks they’re in talks with, Mollo hopes to have the show picked up in the coming months and on air for 2014. “It won’t be your typical reality show; I plan to teach something at the end of every episode.”
THIS JUST IN!
