Galea's images have been featured online on numerous fashion sites, including Moda Operandi, Lifestyle Mirror, ShopBop, Lane Crawford, Net-a-Porter and Neiman Marcus. MARIE LE FORT "It���s hard to turn away when I see Ulyana Sergeenko walking down the street. From her cat-like eyes, perfect lips and her custom take on vintage style, Ulyana is truly a fashion muse."

In addition to being an architecture and design critic, author of a handful of Louis Vuitton City Guides and a consultant for French brands including Herm��s, Louis Vuitton and Le Meurice, Le Fort recently released a book called Once in a Lifetime (Gestalten), which features some of the world���s most unique and remote luxury havens.
