About me

Julie Poppoon grew up in the San Antonio area, and is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, with a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and a minor in Business Administration. Working in the fashion industry for over ten years, she has modeled for some of the top designers and local industry professionals, as well as appeared in several local and national print advertisements. Her career in modeling has taken her to many exciting markets, such as Miami, Dallas, Houston, and Mexico. She has been very fortunate to work with influential retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Julian Gold, Tootsie's, David's Bridal, and Dillard's, and has graced the runway for such designers as Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Dana Buchman, and St. John. This will also be her fifth year as the fit model for the fashion design students at The University of the Incarnate Word. Modeling has afforded Julie the luxury of being a part of something she has always loved – fashion. While being on the runway or in front of a camera is always exciting, Julie also began teaching runway and assisting in fashion show production over nine years ago. Being such a big part of such exciting events has increased her desire to share her love of the industry with others. She is very excited about Valiance, and is looking forward to what the future holds.
