Ellis’ novel “Less Than Zero.” In the book, Julian is a disillusioned punk with an intensive relationship to art and music. Julian’s attitude reflects the brand’s close connection to art and music and marks the guidelines to a rebellious approach to fashion. The men’s and women’s collections have a sharp, edgy and artsy feeling and revolve around defined concepts and ideas. The brand is popular among students and the small arty crowd in Sweden and the same type of crowd is embracing Julian Red the world over.
