"  Langley Fox has some enviable progeny\u2014the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and daughter of actress Mariel (incidentally, her sister is Dree). The Idaho-raised L.A. dweller is melding the worlds of fashion and art one day at a time as a model and illustrator who often lends her sketchy skills to brands like Louis Vuitton. Recently, Fox appeared in the Spring campaign for Genetic (alongside Tasya VanRee and Ariel Beesley), a brand that favors the L.A. girl and creative individuals overall. BAZAAR spoke with the 20-something beauty about personal style and her adopted hometown. Harper&amp;#039;s Bazaar: How did you get involved with Genetic and the shoot and how you got involved with the whole process? Langley Fox: I spoke with the Genetic team a while ago, and it was a meeting but it was also an introduction of friendship. We always stayed in touch, I like their whole thing behind their brand and I think they appreciate what I do. So when they asked &amp;quot;Do you want to be in our campaign?&amp;quot; I was down because I&amp;#039;m friends with the brand now and I think that it was a cool idea and I liked the inspiration. I think that the whole process was fun and everybody in the group kind of had something going on. It wasn&amp;#039;t just your typical models; it&amp;#039;s mixing a pretty face with a good personality and a cool idea. HB: The brand is very L.A. focused, why do you think you fit into that? Do you feel like a true L.A. girl? LF: I love L.A., I love everything about L.A. from the weather to going on hikes to our field trips, everything about L.A. I don&amp;#039;t look like I&amp;#039;m from LA, I look like I&amp;#039;m probably a little gothic but literally, I love the sunshine more than anything and I spend so much time in it. I think L.A .is that perfect medium between nature, health but also a little bit of city and youth. HB: Do you really consider your style gothic, how would you describe your particular aesthetic? LF: Well I&amp;#039;m certainly not gothic but I do dress in black sometimes. I feel like my style is not really one particular thing, I&amp;#039;m not all black, I&amp;#039;m not one thing or another, I&amp;#039;m wear what I feel\u2014kind of verging on playing with fashion because fashion at the end of the day is this silly little thing that you&amp;#039;re doing for yourself and others. I think it&amp;#039;s just having fun and being what you want to be that day and being comfortable. I just like to have fun.  HB: Your artwork is really beautiful, what are you currently working on? LF: Thank you. I&amp;#039;m currently drawing an invitation for the Soho House today for Coachella. Potentially some other commissions in the works but you know, you never know what you can say until it&amp;#039;s written on paper, but all good things happeninging. HB: You obviously work a lot with fashion brands in your art, why do you think your work melds so well with the fashion world? LF: I feel like illustration is coming back into the fashion world. I feel like it was so strong and then computers were created and computers were this new and exciting thing, but everybody can do anything now. The kid in middle school can pretty much make the Photoshop ad that you just did and I think it&amp;#039;s kind of going back a step and being like, &amp;#039;Wait this is hand-done and there&amp;#039;s something more special about it.&amp;#039; And I think that it&amp;#039;s fun collaborating with artists in different ways, if you&amp;#039;re a painter or a drawer or any sort of visual artist it&amp;#039;s kind of taking their opinions and inspirations and mixing it with yours to come up with a new idea that you wouldn&amp;#039;t come up with on your own and they wouldn&amp;#039;t come up with. So it&amp;#039;s very fresh and organic but new and exciting. And creating something that you both like and you&amp;#039;re both stoked on, that you couldn&amp;#039;t do alone. HB: How do you choose who you work with when it comes to both your modeling and art? LF: I think when you develop a bond with a brand you appreciate them and want to help them and you want them to help you. It&amp;#039;s kind of developing some sort of a relationship and then asking, &amp;#039;Is it a cool brand? Does it inspire me? Do I love this brand?&amp;#039; And not every job is your dream job but it gets to a point where you can choose and be like, &amp;#039;I love your stuff, you love my stuff.&amp;#039; That&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s really so fun about fashion. HB: So you&amp;#039;re going to Coachella? LF: Apparently so. HB: Is there anyone you&amp;#039;re looking forward to seeing there? LF: Actually to tell you the truth, I don&amp;#039;t really like the lineup...but I have a lot of friends going to Coachella. I listen to a lot of classic rock and like old blues music so unless I&amp;#039;m going to go back to Woodstock I&amp;#039;m probably not going to be the most stoked human being. I feel like I may be going to Palm Springs to hangout with my friends, I&amp;#039;m not going to lie, in a nice area.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
