"I am not going to talk about her Parisian flair or the fact that she never changes her plain hairstyle. Sofia is worthy of admiration because she is proof of the fact that being popular, dressed in designer rags, ultimately is not a valid measurement for beauty. She is worthy of admiration because she creates something beyond the easy, the frivolous; she seems eager to spend more time and thought fulfilling personal endeavors than she does preening herself.
A style icon, in my opinion, is a person who not only wears beautiful ensembles but who manages also to provide a context for the beauty to thrive in, who defines beauty by inventing a standard of their own rather than succumbing to ideals." -Madelene {Le Portillon}
