Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Who, what, where (or wear)? These are the questions people had running through their heads when the Spring Fashion Weeks were in effect. We were mostly focusing on the clothes rather than who dominated the front rows, but let us also dissect the guests. Editors, celebrities, and models get invited to the shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. One lady who always looked amazing was Carine Roitfeld. Here, at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris, the Vogue Paris editor gave new meaning to the term power suit. The serious glare also helps. See who else graced us with their fashionable presence over the past month . . .

Trend Alert: Wrinkle in Time

BellaSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:00:14 -0700

Or should I say wrinkle in a time machine? This 1980s hairstyle often pops up here and there, reminding us that crinkly, crimpy hair will probably never die.

Featured in several shows from Paris to London to New York, the style ranged from severe Christian Dior (upper left) to a more straight down, everyday style à la Christian Lacroix, Ruffian, and Karen Walker. For good measure, Jenny Packham added her own simple updo version, too (lower right). Maybe it's time I dig out the ol' pink crimper myself - in moderation, of course.

Which Emma Watson Fashion Week Look is the Most Fab?

FabSugarUK — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:00:58 -0700

Young actress Emma Watson was busy flying the British flag at Paris Fashion Week recently by attending more shows than a top fashion editor! She may only be 18 years old but that doesn't stop her wearing some very stylish designer ensembles. Emma is guilty of dressing a bit old sometimes but she was on form in Paris wearing a thigh skimming dress at Sonia Rykiel and plenty of bright colours elsewhere. Which of her fashion week looks do you think is the most fab?

Stephanie and Naomi, Hermes Cowgirls

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Giddyup girls, the Hermes runway was smokin'. And it was wasn't just because of the wrapped and slit fringed skirts, sheer overlays, and cigars. Veteran models Naomi and Stephanie galloped through their dear friend Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring show, and looked every bit amazing. You can tell from the photos that Naomi was strutting her stuff, as always. And Stephanie looks like she's having a grand time. These Hermes cowgirls made it hard for me to focus on the clothes, which were wearable, sexy, and sophisticated. Great to see you back on your stomping grounds, supers.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: John Galliano

FabSugarUK — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:00:53 -0700

John Galliano strongly referenced his childhood home in his Spring line which was presented to Paris on Saturday evening. The collection included 3ft busbys (maybe he wants to redesign the Queen's guard uniform?) and oversized First Sea Lord ceremonial hats in a variety of shocking colours.

There were plenty of clashing neon pastel shades from yellow to hot pink and red. The looks were teamed with sky high metallic platform heels.

Much like the rest of Paris Fashion Week, Galliano produced a very wearable collection. Take away the clashing headwear and you're left with pretty floral tea dresses and delicate Summer tops.

There were sheer lace pieces, ruffles and dresses with definite red-carpet appeal. The show took place at a train garage just in the outer suburbs whilst the catwalk stood alongside a railway track. Front-row guests curiously included Peter Andre and Katie "Jordan" Price as well as Dita von Teese and the artist Peter Blake. Could Peter and Katie be the inspiration for his next line?

Kate and Kirsten Help Wrap Up the Spring Fashion Fun

Molly — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:00:52 -0700

The 2009 Spring fashion season came to a close in Paris last night after a whirlwind month of shows in New York, London, and Milan. Lots of stars were out to celebrate, with Emma Watson, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell taking in YSL and Chanel while Dita von Teese and Lenny Kravitz checked out Marc Jacobs's newest work at Louis Vuitton. After shopping around the city, Kate Bosworth brought her man James Rousseau to the Miu Miu show last night along with Kirsten Dunst, who is a former face of the brand. Kirsten also made time for some sightseeing, which hopefully kept her mind off the less-than-stellar opening of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Severe plumage. Lavish layering. Exotic undertones. Intrigued? You should be. Marc Jacobs's Spring collection for Louis Vuitton is eye candy at its best. Much like his Spring namesake collection, this delivery is maximist. Pick and choose from an array of luxurious delights and make Louis Vuitton a look all your own.I'm swooning over the banded and heavily embellished dresses, the sharp-shouldered blazers (not sick of them yet, no), the quirky separates, and the semi-ridiculous accessories. And the plumage! And the colors! And with a chic Parisian flair. While many folks pared things down given the economic uncertainty, Vuitton delivered a high-octane carnival of clothes.
