21 Hair and Makeup Looks You WON'T Be Wearing Come Spring

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:00:01 -0700

From the runways onto department and drugstore shelves, I'm sure we'll see lots of fresh new makeup options and application techniques go full circle come March. Last month in New York, we saw six very wearable trends emerge, from peach lips to bold eyeliner to heavy-handed under-the-eye liners. But throughout the course of New York Fashion Week and other Spring 2010 shows, including Paris, London, and Milan, there were other looks that won't quite make the transition. Take this sequin forehead heart-shaped applique, for instance - straight from the Ungaro show in Paris, for which Lindsay Lohan acted as artistic adviser. While I appreciate each and every designer's artistic flair, some looks just won't translate to real life. See what I mean now.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2010: Gareth Pugh

FabSugarUK — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:30:12 -0700

The fashion pack traveled to Paris yesterday as attention shifted from Milan to the home of couture. Gareth Pugh was one of the biggest names on the first day as he presented for the third time in the French capital. When you think of Spring, you probably imagine pastel shades and floral prints. Well, Gareth hasn't softened that much, but there was a definitely a more romantic feel to his collection than previous seasons. The colour palette was relatively dark with a lot of grey shades, but the shapes were softer. Mens and womenwear were mixed together highlighting the androgynous feel of the clothing. There were high necklines, figure hugging shapes and slashed fabric. The show came as rumours began to swirl that he is planning on launching a fast fashion line. This would mean that his pieces were more accessible, but how well would his designs translate to the masses?

Would You Rather Your Guy Wear Makeup or Have High-Maintenance Hair?

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Last night in New York City, MAC Cosmetics held a private artists' studio tour event for talent that loves and supports their makeup. British clothing designer Gareth Pugh was there with perfectly straightened hair and American frontman for the band Semi Precious Weapons and jewellery designer Justin Tranter was also there with a piecey platinum coif and heavily lined smoky eyes. Tell me, would you rather your guy wear makeup or have hair that takes him longer to style than it takes you?

FABTV: Paris Fashion Week AW 09 Gareth Pugh

FabSugarUK — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:00:25 -0700

After the success of his menswear show Gareth again showed in Paris this week, this time with womenswear. His catwalk presentation was actually replaced with a short film by Ruth Hogben (although a select few still got to see his pieces in the flesh), which is an interesting approach, especially with the current financial problems. The video is below, but be warned – it's a bit intense and may not be suitable for work. Let us know your thoughts!

Spring Peek: Geo Max

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:22 -0800

The opposing force of Luxotica is Geo Max. For the rare days I'm not feeling like an island girl and want to be serious, graphic prints, stripes, 3-D shapes, and polka dots will modernize my look. Most of these equations came in black and white, with the occasional blue, but one of my favorite Spring collections - Dries Van Noten - delivered it in marigold. The happy color made the geo seem less max, know what I mean? Notice the bold accessories though. Michael Kors also delivered his dots with whimsy, while on the flip side, Gareth Pugh took his dolls to space and back. Small doses, or to the max, choose your poison.

Gareth Pugh's Menswear Fashion Week Debut

FabSugarUK — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:00:06 -0800

Gareth Pugh made his menswear fashion week debut last night (an hour late) in Paris. He has previously included menswear in his collections in London but this is the first time he has dedicated an entire collection to men. The show ended the menswear fashion show season and was arguably one of the most exciting. It was witnessed by Daphne Guinness, Jefferson Hack and Delphine Arnault, daughter of Bernard Arnault, who rules the LVMH luxury goods company. This provoked a lot of rumours about the future of Pugh's label suggesting that he might be about to join the LVMH group.

For the rest of the images and my thoughts on his collection, just read more.

His collection was very refreshing and exciting. It stayed true to Pugh's quirky, avant garde style, but was also quite commercially viable with classic tailoring and funky outerwear. There was plenty of geometric detailing and quilting as Pugh played with proportion. There was also a very industrial feel to the pieces which were oil-slick and used nails as unusual applique.

These hard details were softened with tunics in fox and goat-hair that added a historical presence to the line. Head dresses were designed by London milliner Stephen Jones.

Pugh told the Telegraph that there is a "steady flow" of design ideas for his menswear line as he's designing for himself adding, "they're the kind of clothes I'd like to see in the shops". He wanted the collection to look sharp and modern but "not in a futuristic way". Pugh explained further stating that it looks like, "Something that is naturally occurring rather than something which just landed from Mars".

The models were dressed as knights in shining armour, but could Pugh himself be the knight in shining armour, here to rescue the damsel that is menswear?
