Meet the Founder

Julia Tricarico is the owner and founder of Another Life NY. She got her start in the fashion industry at 14 as a model, working across runway, editorial, and commercial campaigns. Her early experiences gave her a deep understanding of the industry and a strong network of creatives.

In 2018, Julia transitioned from modeling to influencing, collaborating with over 500 brands in fashion, beauty, and hospitality. She focuses on creating authentic, engaging content that resonates with both brands and her audience (@julia.tric).

Julia began collecting vintage designer bags in 2020, eventually launching Another Life NY in 2021 while finishing her senior year. Fascinated by the stories behind pre-loved pieces, she hand-sources rare, authentic vintage bags for fellow enthusiasts.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Direct and Interactive Marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology and now balances running Another Life NY with her full-time 9–5!
