Palm Beach County, is an untapped well for the fashion and art aficionado.  Palm Beach County ranks number nine out of counties with the most millionaires.  Where does one go to look at and be inspired by high fashion and art?  To an area with disposable income, an area like Palm Beach County.

Honestly, to find most of the millionaires in Palm Beach County one would need to venture to Palm Beach Island.  It has it's own culture of art and fashion. You can find fashion labels on Palm Beach Island, that you would normally only find in the big city.  Couture stores, Gucci, Pucci, Louis Vitton and the like are all located on this tiny sixteen mile island that has around 30,000 residents at most; during  snowbird season of course.

It's not just Palm Beach Island, West Palm Beach also has it's own flare when it comes to fashion and art.  Though West Palm Beach was once an area for the hired help, it has become an attraction for those who can afford vacation properties.  And those who can afford vacation properties, can also afford resort wear.

FAD will examine, highlight and focus on all aspects of fashion, art and architecture when it comes to Palm Beach County.  Not all fashion, art and architecture in Palm Beach County is created equal.

I am Giovanni aka Blamegirl and will be the fashion voice of this blog.  I have years of experience working in the fashion industry and will provide a unique voice when it comes to fashion in Palm Beach County.  I've recently relocated to the area from Texas and have observed a change in the fashion here.
