"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten
Philanthropist Sylvia Mantella (who loves to skydive BTW) has always had an attraction for fashion. Her style is constantly undergoing a metamorphosis, and she certainly isn’t afraid to take some sartorial chances. “My personal style is constantly evolving with the particular time and place in my life, however, I'm not afraid to take risks and I certainly respect and appreciate the unique style of others, even if it may not be of my own preference” states Mantella. “I do however, love a great pair of well fitted Balmain jeans and a simple white tee-shirt but my true weakness is wearing, whenever I possibly can, a killer pair of 5-6 inch stilettos or sandal...I love to be tall, sometimes up to 6ft 1inch in height, perfect to be cheek to cheek with my husband” she boldly states. She’s created their Non Profit Exotic Animal Rescue and Animal Adoption Facility in Florida, launched The Judy Mantella Foundation (a private fund supporting Sunnybrook Hospital), and has worked on such charities as The One x One Global Organization and acted as the co-chair for the 5th Annual Catwalk Cure for Cancer, where she helped raise over $200,000 for The Princess Margaret Hospital. This is one girl who may love fashion, but she utilizes it for the benefit of others.
