Trend Alert: Pasty White Faces for Spring

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Now that Paris Fashion Week is finally over, it's time to round up another beauty trend from the hottest fashion shows that France has to offer. Red lips have been and will always be in style, as will sexy, bed head hair. But a little more fashion forward and racy is next season's modern take on the white Geisha face.

At the Alexander McQueen show, faces were painted a sparkly, almost iridescent white colour. At John Galliano for Christian Dior, skin was uber pale and accentuated with dark plummy lips and eyes, and at the Tim Hamilton show, faces and lips were a sheer white shade. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to rock this trend, but it sure does make a statement. How about you - would you ever paint your face white for a party other than Halloween?

Katy and Russell Steal the Show at Fashion Week

PopSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:00:07 -0700

A wavy-haired Katy Perry and Russell Brand hit the Paris Fashion Week runways together yet again yesterday. They sat at the front row for John Galliano's show alongside Dita Von Teese, who then met up with Nelly Furtado at Elie Saab. Afterward, Katy and Russell held hands for a trip to the Pere Lachaise cemetery where Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison are buried. Today is the last day of Fashion Week in the romantic city but it's given the new couple a chance to show their affection all over town. As Paris wraps up, don't miss all of the International FW coverage and see if you can guess the Paris attendees!

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Christian Dior

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:48:20 -0700

John Galliano started his Christian Dior Spring '10 show with a literal bang as gunshots and theatrical screaming laid out the framework for his film noir-inspired collection. Set against a gritty, warehouse scene, models with wavy tresses and red lips strutted down the runway in an array of sensual, lingerie-like silk gowns, camisoles, peek-a-boo lace dresses, silk shorts, and and beaded gowns. His ode to '40s Hollywood glamour continued with sharply tailored trench coats - a staple then, a staple today - tiered skirts, corsets, and I even spied a couple of ankle socks paired with sky-high sandals. So Fab.

To add a modern touch to his throwback collection, Galliano paired jackets with leather pants and leggings. Bows, beads, and vibrant sheer organza also injected an interesting flair while multicolor floral prints and gold lamé struck a chord for those in need of extra pizazz. It was all so dramatic. There's a reason I will never tire of Dior.

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:50:22 -0700

With the Spring 2010 (whoa, 2010 - doesn't that sound so futuristic?) shows in the very near future, it's time to take final glimpses at Fall. What Fab trends will you be delving into? Which hot shoes tickled your fancy? Which heavenly handbags made you pant? During my runway research I accumulated some more favorite looks, stand-out pieces, awe-inspiring jewels, and simply cool honorable mentions. Thakoon's canary fur-collared coat atop luxe black separates is what fashion dreams are made of. Beam me up, Scotty!

Fall Glimpse: Hot Toes

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

No Fall glimpse would be complete without a preview of some of the most captivating shoes to trot down the runways. The boot of the season is no doubt the over-the-knee, while wicked platforms and cutesie pumps rule, too. Heels got a lot of play - curved, pin straight, studded, wooden. And textures were wild: brocade, woven leather, super stretch, rich suede, ruffled. It's time to experiment. Stare again at these John Galliano pom pom lace-ups? Well, I nevah!

Fab Ad: Linda Evangelista for John Galliano

FabSugarUK — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:00:44 -0700

The sunshine was shining so brightly this weekend in the UK that I feel a bit reluctant to even consider Autumn, but another campaign has been revealed this weekend and it's too exciting to keep to myself! Here we see the return of another classic supermodel as Linda Evangelista takes the reins of John Galliano's latest ad campaign. It's a very colourful image with a distinctly French feel (not least because of the stripes and beret), but would you have preferred to see a fresh face starring instead?

PopSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:30:39 -0700

Marion Cotillard kicked off Fall 2009 Haute Couture week in Paris yesterday at the Christian Dior show - get her beautiful makeup look here. She skipped out on today's Giorgio Armani Prive presentation, which brought out Megan Fox and longtime fan of the line Cate Blanchett. Megan headed to France from LA just yesterday amid her verbal sparring with Transformers director Michael Bay, who apparently had her audition for the role by washing his Ferrari. Rather than dwell on that, instead Megan can look forward to Jennifer's Body as she joins the ranks of the front row fashion set.

2009 Fall Couture: Christian Dior

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Glamorous, and a touch garish, Galliano leads Couture week with a provocative showing at the Dior headquarters. Innerwear played a major role in this film noir. Corsets, garters, hose, slips, camis, and brassieres all hung out exhibiting a high-class peekaboo show. Classic lingerie hues like nude, black, and cream whispered alongside bold red, pink, chartreuse, leopard (and zebra) print, lavender, and juicy tangerine. Dramatic toppers, ladylike bags and fine jewels added to the highly feminine Dior aesthetic. Skirts were a favorite - tulip, sheer, bubble, tiered - and sometimes even absent. Dior still caters to the lady, but this lady's inner exhibitionist has risen.

Marion Cotillard and John Galliano and the Mystery of Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I can't live without my bags. After all, it's where I store my daily necessities, and in the case of clutches, my bare necessities. But you don't have to take my word for it.

In a recent interview, French actress and Dior face Marion Cotillard dished about the most important thing in her handbag. “I have this little black book that I write things in. It’s sometimes dangerous things you have in your mind that you put in your little black book and it’s not as dangerous anymore,” said Cotillard. Sounds tantalizing, can we have a peek?

John Galliano's take on handbags is equally sassy, stating, “It is part of their charm, their secret weapon. Who knows what’s in there - keys, wallet, phone. That is all to be expected. Who’s to say what door that spare key opens; why she has her passport tucked in when she’s only going up the road and whose phone number she has scrawled on the back of an envelope . . . I love the unknown - and the what might be.”
