The Fab Faces of Spring '10

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

With Spring ready-to-wear in the bag, designers are conjuring up their Spring ad campaigns, placing the hottest of the hot with the most stylish shutterbugs. Thus far, we know Lara Stone will star in Louis Vuitton's ads, while Daisy Lowe will shine for its swimwear line. In Versace land, Donatella has chosen Fabcon Georgia May Jagger to be photographed by Mario Testino. On the celebrity front, Madonna was snatched up by Dolce & Gabbana - we're hoping she won't look as photoshopped as her previous Louis Vuitton ads.

To learn who else is starring in Spring '10 ads, read more.

Fab Ad: Uniqlo Heat Tech, Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Behold Uniqlo's Fall ad campaign for its Heat Tech collection - made from Milk Proteins, which traps heat. You ready for it? Lily Donaldson, Coco Rocha, Erin Wasson, Sasha Pivovarova, Karlie Kloss, Sessilee Lopez, and Tao Okamoto are all stylishly bundled up with snow-capped mountains in the background. I have a feeling what they're wearing, albeit totally cute, wouldn't prevent frostbite. No matter, the shots are captivating and the models are diverse. What do you think? Is this campaign making you melt or freeze?

Fab Ad: Chloé Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:50:22 -0700

I once spoke of the fashion metamorphosis of the house of Chloé and its ad campaign transformation. I feel like when it comes to ads, Chloé has done it all: streets, deserts, beach, and now Spanish wheat fields. This is the second major ad campaign for designer Hannah MacGibbon, and she has stuck with photographer Mikael Jansson. What she hasn't stuck with are the same models as Spring. Instead of Anna Maria Jagodzinska and Toni Garrn, she chose Kasia Struss, Sigrid Agren, and Karlie Kloss. Do you dig this or is it way too au naturel?

Fab Ad: Karlie Kloss for Pringle

FabSugarUK — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:37 -0700

As the Summer sales begin, all eyes move to Autumn and more specifically, the ad campaigns! Emma Watson's Burberry campaign has already impressed most of you and here is another for the September issue. The Spring Pringle of Scotland campaigns starred Brit models Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe as well as New Yorker Lydia Hearst. This season it's Karlie Kloss in the limelight as she poses in the Autumn collection. It was shot by Interview magazine's art director Fabien Baron and has a classic feel to it. What do you think of these black and white images?

Karlie Kloss Reveals Her Model BFFs, Spring Must Haves, and Nudity

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:50:22 -0700

When I spy a tall, thin, blonde slowly gliding down the runway, head slightly tilted down, eyes focused, staring, I know exactly who it is: American model Karlie Kloss. The 16-year-old, who has recently taken up blogging on Modelfeed, has an unparalleled presence; she's cute-as-a-button approachable and intensely mysterious at the same time. I chatted with the modeling sensation about how she was discovered, her model posse, and what she's wearing these days.

How were you discovered?

Doing a charity fashion show in a mall in St. Louis for a friend who was battling cancer.

Has your ballet dance experience helped you on the catwalk or with your stamina?

Ballet has helped me express myself on photo shoots, and on the catwalk gives me the confidence to move with the fabrics.

Do you ever get embarrassed or uncomfortable with the nudity that modeling demands?

I am still 16 so my agency won't allow me to do nudity of any sort.

To hear more from Karlie and to see more photos, read more.

What's your most embarrassing modeling experience?

Tripping on the runway after closing the Pucci show in Milan.

How do you pass the time waiting around for the action to begin?

I just talk to my girlfriends, and of course BlackBerry my agent Stephen, and eat cookies in the corner with the girls.

Do you have model friends? If so, who?

Yes, I have lots. Jourdan Dunn is a close friend. I love Karmen Pedaru, and Catherine McNeil is cool to bake stuff with; they both live in my building. Abbey Lee is always cool to hang out with.

Favorite photo shoot destination?

I always wanted to shoot in Disney World. Probably shooting British Vogue with Patrick Demarchelier in an island off Sweden.

What are your Spring must haves?

White t-shirts, jeans, and whatever trade the designers will be throwing my way.

I can't live without my_____.
Family, mom, dad, sisters, and puppy Joe.

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.

Which New York Fashion Week Model Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:00:22 -0800

Fashion Week isn't merely the designers' time to shine. It's also time for models to claim their stake on the catwalk. Along with some of the latest runway darlings like Anja Rubik, Arlenis Sosa, Karlie Kloss, and Natasha Poly, a few veterans like Tasha Tilberg and Trish Goff came back and proved they're still pros at the game. It wasn't easy narrowing down the selection, but these six stole the shows. You tell me: Which New York Fashion Week model is most Fab? (Top Row, L-R: Tasha Tilberg, Karlie Kloss, Arlenis Sosa)

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?
