Julia Fox has told how she once spent an eye-watering $68,000 in one night on 'hundreds' of designer items on an ex-boyfriend's credit card.

The Italian-American actress, 35, revealed she splashed her partners' cash on items from top fashion houses such as Chanel, YSL and Pucci.

However, Julia admitted that her wardrobe packed with labels was short-lived, as she had to sell them to pay her former flame back when he dumped her.

Julia was asked what the most expensive thing she ever bought was during an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine.

She told them: 'I used my man's credit card in a mania, spent $68,000 in a night and bought hundreds of Chanel, YSL, Pucci, Mugler, Christian Lacroix, Alexander McQueen and Versace pieces. I had to sell them all when he dumped me.'

Julia, who identifies as pansexual and is currently single, did not mention who the ex-boyfriend was whose card she used.

The mother of one was married to Peter Artemiev from November 2018 after a short courtship until 2020. Their divorce was filed in February 2020.

They have a son, Valentino, who was born in January 2021.

Following this relationship she was briefly involved in a high-profile romance with Kanye West in 2022 for a couple of months.

Julia has previously spoken about feeling that her Kanye relationship was more public than she wanted, and that she didn't intend for it to be very exposed.

In her memoir Down The Drain, she mentioned that with Kanye there wasn't intimacy in the sexual sense.

She has also claimed Kanye has an 'obsession' with dressing up women like 'puppets', including his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and new wife Bianca Censori.

In her memoir, she details her whirlwind relationship with Kanye, which she says was a 'game' of 'sick and twisted' control.

She refused to sign an NDA after she parted ways with Kanye and offered one of the few firsthand accounts of his obsession with women's clothing.

'They're party decorations. Ornaments to be admired,' Julia said as she described the crowds at Kanye's 'Gatsby like' parties.

Julia wrote that she met Kanye -- who she refers to only as 'the artist' in her book -- when a friend asked if he could pass along her number to a celebrity who's been asking about her.

Soon enough she gets a text, 'followed by dozens of phone calls.'

After their first high-octane meeting, Julia said Kanye swiftly asked her to be his girlfriend and appointed two of her friends, Tammy and Liana, to be her stylists.

Her friendships slowly break down when Julia's friends no longer ask the model for her opinion on what she'd like to wear but his.

She wrote: 'I watch powerless as my life shrinks to fit inside cardboard boxes. The new clothes he got me won't fit inside my small place.'

When the pair split, Tammy and Liana continued working for Kanye, going on to style his next girlfriend.

After the death of mutual friend, Julia writes that Kanye pulls Tammy and Liana out of the funeral early on a job, and Liana quit - but Tammy did not.

'I block her number,' Julia wrote. 'I can't accept that my friend of ten years would choose him over me ... for clout.'

According to the Italian-American star, Kanye went so far as to covertly call in one of her stylists in the middle of a date.

Tammy texted Julia, 'Come to the bathroom.'

'To my surprise I find [Tammy] in the bathroom with a mountain of clothes. I’m happy to see her, but it’s a little strange he didn’t just tell me he didn’t like my original outfit.'

During the dinner at New York restaurant Carbone, he had photographers snap photos, which she woke to find splashed over gossip website Page Six.

Julia said the experience made her feel like a 'show monkey.'

In another incident, the model says Kanye staged an impromptu photoshoot inside a hotel room that was later published in Interview magazine.

Julia told Kanye one of the outfits 'didn’t fit quite right' and he offers her a boob job, which she refuses.

By the second month of their turbulent coupling, Julia began to second guess if Kanye’s affections are more showmance than romance. Ultimately, she decides to break things off after her birthday party.

Kanye apparently gifted her and her friends with expensive Birkin bags, but made them pose and film their reactions until he’s pleased with the footage.

'As we post like puppets, I question his true intentions, feeling that this grand gesture is nothing more than a publicity stunt,' Julia said.

'I'm disconnected from the moment. I try to find gratitude for the lavish gifts, but the feeling of insincerity lingers.'

'The only time he engages is when the camera is on us,' she added,'when he will grab me and kiss me passionately.'

The next day, Julia said she broke up with him over the phone. The 'million-dollar deal' which Kanye had brokered on her behalf with an Italian denim brand goes with him. She's told 'it's contingent on you being his girlfriend.'

Not long after their split, Julia wrote she was hit with a barrage of texts and calls from Kanye about the NDA she never signed.

She refuses to sign it, even at the risk of being blacklisted from the entertainment industry.
