We searched the hills of Los Angeles and Orange County to find four killer muses for our Mind Bali Soul collection, who truly embody San Lorenzo Bikinis and the collection. To kick off our Muse Series, we shot the beautiful and ever so talented Julia Friedman in four looks worthy of the pages of Sports Illustrated. Julia has been with the collection since Miami Swim Week 2015, where she first debuted her flawless runway skills in our fashion show. Get to know our muse more, as she went in-depth about modeling, bikinis and her plans for the future.

An LA native, this 18 year old is a self proclaimed foodie, with a love for all things sushi and pizza.
Let’s start with a classic, what got you into the modeling/ blogging industry?
I was scouted when I was younger by a family friend and slowly started looking into agencies and working for small clothing companies beginning at age 12. Blogging I recently started after graduating highschool because I wanted to do something creative during the downtime I have.

What type of shoot excites you most?
One that is super edgy (septum piercing/wet hair/ artsy makeup)! It’s like my alter-ego comes out!
Dream summer adventure. Ready. Set. Go!
Ooh definitely a trip to Australia! I love the idea of a big city being right by a beach! That’s why Miami is one of my favorite cities 🙂

We have to ask, what’s the BEST beach you’ve every been to?
My favorite beach I have been to was in Fiji! I stayed in Nadi but traveled to small islands and even spent time on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean in between Fiji and Australia.
And of course, tell us your favorite Mind Bali Soul ‘kini.
I love the Soul Monokini!

What should our readers know about you?
I’m the ultimate foodie but I workout really hard! I also am extremely passionate about acting and fashion/styling. And I love dogs!!!!
And lastly, getting deep – tell us your dreams for the future.
My dreams for the future are to be able to travel somewhere epic for work and to book a movie!
