Ilana Piglet Fox was born in Hertfordshire in 1979 to two hippie parents who met on a Kibbutz in Israel. When she was 16 she used to tell her mother she was going to her friends' houses to do her homework, but instead she caught the train to London to hang out with popstars and journalists, managing to party all night and ace her studies regardless. At 18 Ilana moved to London for good, and has been flirting with the city ever since.
