A MOST DEFINITE FASHION STATEMENT

The Culture club that attends the annual Frieze L.A. art fair is not one of shrinking art school dropouts. This whimsical group treats its wardrobes as emotional aesthetic armor: there’s little conformity, fabulous eyewear, and in many cases, looks by obscure designer/artist crossover brands. Edgy is the code of the day – standing out enough to fit into the “I am my own art object” club. Takes one to know one.
