FAREWELL, PAUL FORTUNE, INTERIORS GURU !

This week we said goodbye to a true California great, interior designer Paul Fortune, who passed away on Monday, June 15. He was a favorite of the fashion and society sets, designing their sprawling homes (Mick Jagger, Sofia Coppola, Marc Jacobs...) in Bel Air, San Francisco, Paris, New York with his signature style. 

Paul was the mind behind such institutions as the Fake Club (a Hollywood “it” scene in the 1980s) and the new look of Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel, helping to revive the Sunset Boulevard property into arguably L.A.’s most stylish address.
