My Life

My name’s Dimitra, but no one calls me that anymore. Hasn’t for years. I go by Dimi Foxx now. Dimi’s what stuck from childhood—the rest came later, somewhere between outrunning riot police on a delivery run and getting tagged in a streetwear campaign I never asked for.

I was born and raised in Athens, just outside the city center. My dad’s a mechanic. Still runs a little garage, tucked behind a row of cafés near Exarchia. That place smelled like oil, cigarettes, and burnt coffee. My first lessons weren’t in school—they were with socket wrenches and two-stroke engines. My mom left when I was about nine. She was an artist, a costume designer, always too soft for the life we had. I don’t blame her for leaving. Athens either chews you up or forces you to grow teeth.

I was the kid with scraped knees and a smart mouth, always running around with boys, fixing bikes and climbing rooftops. I never fit into anything neatly. Dresses made me itch. Formalities felt like a lie. I knew early on I was different—not just in how I looked, but how I moved through the world. They called me a tomboy. I didn’t mind. The label never mattered much. What mattered was freedom.

At thirteen, I found an old Canon AE-1 camera at a pawn shop near Omonia. Bought it with the cash I’d saved from cleaning grease traps at the garage. That camera became my second set of eyes. It taught me how to see things differently—how to catch a story in a shadow, a revolution in a torn poster. Athens is loud and chaotic, sure, but if you know where to look, she shows you her soul.

By sixteen, I was taking delivery jobs on the side, riding my dad’s beat-up Honda until I saved enough to build my own bike—a matte-black CB500 with a red fox tail painted on the side. The name "Foxx" came from that. First it was a joke. Then a tag. Then a name. Now it’s who I am.

After school—when I bothered to go—I’d ride through the city with my camera in one hand, always chasing some rooftop, alleyway, or crumbling wall. I started posting my shots under the name FoxxFrames. They weren’t pretty. They were raw: burning dumpsters, protest banners, the quiet dignity in the faces of old women sitting on marble steps. People started noticing. Streetwear brands reached out. I never expected to end up modeling, but I did—on my own terms. No makeup chairs, no posing. Just me, in the clothes I’d wear anyway, framed in the ruins of a city that refuses to be polished.

Most people think I’m cold. I get that. I don’t talk much. I keep my circle small—Eleni, my best friend, tattoos out of a rooftop studio with no permit and the steadiest hands I’ve ever seen. We ink each other’s stories into our skin. Three of my tattoos are hers: a fox, a broken compass, and the words ο κόσμος είναι δικός μας — the world is ours. I believe that. Even if it burns, even if it breaks, the city’s still mine. I won’t abandon it.

People don’t always get me. They say I’m hard to read. I’m not heartless, just careful. I’ve seen what happens when you wear your feelings on the outside in this city. Still, when it counts—when someone needs backup or something needs fixing—I’m already there. Loyalty isn’t loud. It’s just consistent.

I still do courier work. Still fix bikes in the shop with my old man when he’s in the mood. Still photograph strangers in the dust and neon. I listen to old Rebetiko, darkwave, whatever has soul. I carry a chain in my bag, not because I want trouble, but because sometimes it finds you anyway.

A big fashion house once offered me a contract. I said no. I’m not interested in being packaged or cleaned up. Let them find someone else to fake authenticity. Me? I ride, I shoot, I stay real. Athens taught me that.

People ask why I’ve never left. Why not Berlin? Or New York?

But I don’t need to leave.
Because I know this city.
Even when she’s on fire—I see her.
And she sees me.
