After completing a Diploma of Clothing Design & Production from the Melbourne School of Fashion in 2007, Julie went on to follow closely in the footsteps of her bridal boutique owner parents. She then meticulously honed her skills and confidence while working alongside them. Since then, Julie has showcased not one, but two collections at New York Fashion Week in 2014 and 2015 under the Belluccio brand. Garnering the attention of Miss Australia & Miss Universe pageants, Belluccio has since grown mainly through word-of-mouth, appearing in many publicised occasions such as the Brownlows and other noteworthy red-carpet events.
