Feminine, like all Fez, it erases its flaws with the pretense of history and the unique feel of the founding editions. And this does not happen in the case of Julia, because it is also perfect in objective measurements.

With excellent balance, where proportions play their part – and if they are known, The Italians teach againthis time bypassing their well-known partners and competitors.

Here style has gained quality from the original, in 2017, when it was seriously wronged at COTY, and today, with Unnecessary tuning Who is not recorded, embrace perfection. with 19 inch wheels and 35-inch tires, you cruise around town nonchalantly and decisively, taking advantage of the latest technology out there, where it suits you.
