Beautiful, non? I love Guy Bourdin - his work is provocative, exotic, mysterious and just gorgeous. What do you think of this video?

"What I often see is that people are scared of fashion — because they're frightened or insecure, so they put it down. On the whole, people who say demeaning things about our world, I think it's because they feel in some way excluded or not part of the "cool group." Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart doesn't mean you're a dumb person. There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous." - Anna Wintour
I couldn't have said it better. That biting integrity is entirely relatable.
Patricia Fortunato is the creator and editor of FASHION FROLIC, an interactive online editorial concerning style, trends and culture. A reflection of her personality and stance on fashion and style, the site is swathed in innovative and often unusual musings, covers avant-garde trends and features provocative imagery. FASHION FROLIC is intelligent, insightful, inventive and always a bit vampy (and campy). Patricia is creative, crafty, cultured and fascinated by bizarre design concepts and fashion and lifestyle editorial. Possessing avid interest and experience in print, web, production and digital media, she admires both forms of high-end magazines.
"I'm obviously hugely inspired by how my mum wore clothes, and my dad…. But for me, it was more their attitudes. The way he would wear a bespoke suit and beard. The way she would wear a little YSL jacket with a straw vintage dress underneath. It was the attitude behind it, that I'm-going-to-do-it-my-way, I'm-allowed-to-do-this, f___-it mentality." - Stella McCartney in Time Magazine
I love Stella. Her clothes are sweet and chic with just a touch of edginess. Her shoes are beautiful - just look at the wedges on Mary-Kate Olsen's feet on this ELLE UK cover from September 2008.
