Julia Demer
Julia Demer is a New York–based Style Editor at Homes & Gardens (formerly at Livingetc), with a sharp eye for the intersection of fashion and interiors. Her background spans both, from reporting runway trends at L’Officiel USA to working in handbag and footwear design at The Row. You can take the fashion out of the job, but never out of the girl – and for Julia, great style translates seamlessly from wardrobe to home.
Originally from Los Angeles, Julia studied Psychology at Fordham University (after a brief pre-med detour) before channeling her lifelong design obsession into editorial. She gravitates toward interiors that feel avant-garde yet nostalgic – and she has a particular soft spot for bedding, which she reviews frequently and lovingly.
A lifelong equestrian, Julia’s ‘horse girl’ roots still influence her aesthetic. (In Julia’s edits, you can spot equestrian hardware, rich leathers, and elongated lines that echo her riding days.) For her, style is everywhere: a great outfit, a beautiful room, and truly fabulous bedding are all part of the same story.
