Fab Blab: Nicole Richie on House of Harlow
Nicole Richie's jewellery line has widely been a success with fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Like the Olsens before her, Nicole proved that celebrity fashion collections don't have to be trashy or demode. House of Harlow is adorably named after her daughter (will a Sparrow diffusion line follow?) and offers vintage style pieces for an affordable price.
Look Behind the Scenes With Castle's Makeup Artist
For more than 25 years, Debbie Zoller has been creating makeup looks from practically every vantage point, whether it's her initial work as Lancôme rep at Macy's in LA, her 1960s-style creations on Mad Men, or most recently, her role as lead makeup artist on Castle. "People on the show are so incredibly nice," she said during a recent interview, where we talked about the gory details of her current position, along with what it's like to be a part of the behind-the-scenes action on the crime dramedy, now in its second year of production.
Check out some of Zoller's work in the gallery above.
Do You Enjoy Nightcaps?
On Sunday night I sat down to watch the season premiere of Mad Men with complete elation. The show is a wonderful glimpse into the 1960s, not only society and fashion, but also food! On this episode, Don (aka Bill), Salvatore (aka Sam), and a couple of cute stewardesses finished their fine dining experience with nightcaps.
The Women Behind the (Mad) Men
Considering that Mad Men is everywhere these days (Vanity Fair has an extensive piece on the show this month, and I've noticed on my walks to work that Banana Republic is holding casting calls?!), I decided to break down and catch up on the series before the third season premiere Aug. 16. All I can say is that I'm quickly becoming obsessed with all things '60s fashion and doing my best to remember that cigarettes are not cool.
FABTV: Swinging Sixties
Step back in time with me to the beginnings of affordable fashion, the time of the miniskirt, Mary Quant and Twiggy. It was the era when the Kings Road and Carnaby Street were swinging, well, almost! This short video below brings together some of the key styles of the 1960s as models dance around in thigh skimming mini skirts and swing coats.
Banana Republic Dives Into Mad Men Land
Mad Men fans — present! — who visit Banana Republic between July 21 through Aug. 11 have a shot at appearing on the AMC series.
Retro Tennis Fashion at Wimbledon
As Wimbledon continues today, I have looked back at classic womens fashion on the court from the early 1960s. Whilst the colour palette has largely stayed the same, many players have had variants of shape, style and length to create a stylish on court ensemble. Click through to see some of the highlights.
Style Glossary: Trench Coat
The trench coat has become a wardrobe staple but much like the parka, it was first introduced for the military by Thomas Burberry back at the turn of the 20th century.
They became a fashion item in the 1960s and were made popular by fictional characters such as Dick Tracy and Rick Blaine from Casablanca.
It is defined as, "A raincoat made of waterproof heavy-duty cotton drill or poplin, wool gabardine, or in some cases leather: it generally has a removable insulated lining; and it is usually knee-length or longer."
Interview With Liz Lange: Pregnancy Mogul Relaunches Line!
The woman who introduced the world to chic, form-fitting designs that celebrate the pregnant woman's bod is shaking things up again! Six years after introducing her maternity line to the masses through her collaboration with Target, Liz Lange is debuting more beautiful duds to flatter burgeoning bellies.
The Brown University grad and former Vogue editor, is relaunching her high-end line of maternity fashions after taking a year-long hiatus to reassess her business.
Bella Donna: Jean Shrimpton
One of the most iconic models of the 1960s measured 5'9", but she was known as The Shrimp. Even though Jean Shrimpton hated that nickname, it stayed with her throughout her long career in fashion. The gamine Brit began modeling as a teenager, but it wasn't until she wore a minidress — then considered scandalous — to a horse race that she became an international icon.
