Who Wore It Better? Louis Vuitton Moody Floral Frock

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:00:22 -0700

I was thoroughly smitten by the way Leighton Meester worked her Louis Vuitton Resort moody floral frock at Paris Fashion Week. I loved how she topped it with a vest, a belt, and wore dressy socks with sandals. Aussie model Catherine McNeil must have loved it too because she wore the same dress to a party at the LV store in Melbourne. Instead of a vest, however, Catherine topped hers with a sharp black blazer, and and finished the look with peep-toe boots and a bright pink LV clutch. Both ladies look stylish in moody florals, but who wore it better?

Look Book Love: Barneys, Fall '09

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

If anyone can tell an uplifting fashion story, it's Barneys. The retailer established its niche as the fun-loving purveyor of high fashion long ago, and its marketing efforts mirror this. While I always smile when I find a J.Crew catalog in my mailbox, a Barneys catalog warrants an even warmer welcome. Feast on Fall's forward offerings, as worn by Anja Rubik, Suvi Koponen, and the delicious Catherine McNeil in a killer red dress. Who can resist a cozy Suvi with juicy red lips in a Commes des Garcons army jacket holding a snow tiger cub? Click on for more quirky Barneys fun . . .

Girls on Film: Catherine McNeil, Vogue Germany, Aug. '09

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:50:11 -0700

If you look up the term femme fatale - the inspiration for this Vogue Germany spread - it says "an alluring and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations." Catherine McNeil is it. She's the epitome of it - womanly, rebellious, sexual, and capable of making men moan. She gets more into character by wearing all black and leather Balmain, Nina Ricci, Alexander Wang, and Yves Saint Laurent. It's leather heaven and this Australian model wears it like no other. Warning: some shots are NSFW.

Look Book Love: Seafolly, Summer '09

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Catherine McNeil never looked so good. Maybe it's because she's modeling Seafolly's Summer delights in her native Australia. Maybe it's the sharp-cut suits and breezy cover ups. Either way, it's a match made in Summer heaven. If the name sounds familiar, it's because many a celeb beach body has sported these sturdy yet stylish suits - babes Mila Kunis and Lauren Conrad to name a couple. Flip through for Summer swim inspiration, and if you must know (I did), this was shot at the Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef. Excuse me while I melt . . .

Model Mania at Met's Costume Institute Gala!

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 11:29:43 -0700

Models are always welcomed at Met's Costume Institute Gala, but since last night's exhibit was all about them, they felt way more at home. Current models like Hana Soukupova, Coco Rocha, and Isabeli Fontana mixed and mingled with classics like Stella Tennant, Alek Wek, and Maggie Rizer, as well as old-school Supers Amber Valletta, Kristen McMenamy, and Nadja Auermann (left). It was a site to be seen; one that melted my heart. Every one of them ruled, and one young blond model even came on the arm of a Hollywood actor! Let the model mania begin . . .

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:50:00 -0700

Old-school supermodels are amazing, but it's also nice to know what's happening with the industry's newest hot things. Modelfeed, a recently launched group of model blogs, allows you to get to know models beyond magazine spreads. Catherine McNeil, Karlie Kloss, and Myf Shepherd, along with 11 other girls, have their own pages where they share everything from photos to videos and inside information. It's a good way to meet new models or to make friends with your longtime favorites.

Fab Ad: Dolce & Gabbana Cruise '09

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Doesn't this happen to you all the time - you're lounging around a beach in a ball gown? OK, chances are it doesn't, but it has happened to Dolce & Gabbana's Cruise 2009 models Claudia Schiffer, Catherine McNeil, and Maryna Linchuk. While overly baked beach-goers fry in the sun, the pale (and pissed!) models sit around in their fancy frocks and tuxedo suits. The juxtaposition of the beach and the formal pieces make this one eye-catching campaign. It caught me off guard when I first saw it. Do you think these are effective or plain silly?

Who's Your Favorite Model at Fashion Week?

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:45:48 -0700

There is always a handful of girls who walk down nearly every high profile catwalk at New York Fashion Week. Among the ones for Spring '09 are Australian Catherine McNeil, Russian Olga Sherer, American Karlie Kloss, Polish Anja Rubik, and British Jourdan Dunn. Each has a completely different look, but all are at the top of their game right now. Catherine is laid-back, Olga is supposedly the skinniest right now, Karlie is known for her zombie walk (which Tyra Banks famously made fun of recently), Anja has emerged super tan, and Jourdan is bringing gorgeous color to the runways. Who's your favorite model at Fashion Week?
