This Week's Fab Faves

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:00:22 -0800

Let's talk pantyhose for a sec. I wore black sheer hose quite a bit last Winter - sometimes opaque tights felt too conservative. I know it's very Working Girl, but it's a sexier alternative to tights. Case in point: Liya Kebede in a satin Stella McCartney Resort dress and sheer hose. The whisper light hosiery allows her glowing skin to shine, and they look adorable with her dainty sandals. Holiday dressing lesson learned. Click through for more style lessons!

Battle of the Fall Ad Lineup: DKNY vs. Jones New York

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Many models are forming lineups these days - luckily, not for the police, but rather for Fall's hottest ad campaigns. I've been noticing many lineup-style ads lately, and I quite like them because they cut out the frills and bring us face to face with the matter at hand: the creations. That, and the industry's most gorgeous models. DKNY's Fall '09 lineup - starring Bette Franken, Behati Prinsloo, Daiane Conterato, Anna Gushina, and more - is structured, with the girls standing sturdy, shoulder to shoulder. Jones New York's lineup with Anja Rubik, Caroline Trentini, Isabeli Fontana, and Liya Kebede is more friendly and lively. Both showcase the clothes flawlessly, but which ad lineup wins?

Celebrity Style: Liya Kebede

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:06:55 -0700

Liya Kebede's children's clothing line, LemLem, has finally hit the racks. The model debuted the collection at the J. Crew in NYC looking slick as ever in liquid leggings and a black blazer. Her LemLem striped scarf breaks up the black, while her boots lend a tough-girl edge. The pieces she's wearing aren't revolutionary, but I applaud her for fusing them in a uniquely fashionable manner.

Cavalry Twill Blazer - $130.00	Women's Lemlem scarf - $80.00
Kova & T 'Oxy' Mini Zip Leggings - $154.00	Lagos Sterling Silver Key Necklace - $195.00
Stuart Weitzman black polished calf 'Mega' booties - $201.00	Drape-Front Top - $34.50
5 Row Black Bracelet - $6.90	Black Rubber Bracelet Set - $4.00

Who Wore It Better? Phillip Lim Navy Ruffle Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Many of you adored the Phillip Lim navy ruffle dress Lindsay Price wore recently, and for good reason. The folded, tiered ruffles, the poofy shoulders - they're beyond charming. Apparently, model Liya Kebede loved it as much as we did, because she wore it out on a cold night in NYC. These ladies are wearing the same dress in the most opposite ways. Lindsay is party-ready in red suede Mary Janes and red lips. Liya, not so much. She's bundled to the max with black tights, black boots, and a black coat. Whose look are you digging more - Lindsay's playful version or Liya's moody take?

Fab Ad: Tiffany & Co. Fall '08

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Tiffany & Co. is trying out a new look this season with a sweet new campaign. The ads, shot by Michael Thompson, feature models Liya Kebede, Shalom Harlow, Lily Cole, and Sasha Pivovarova. All different, all beautiful. I like how Liya emits a commanding, graceful presence in her fancy tulle dress and dazzling diamonds.While Shalom rocks it '50s-style in a black fedora and mixed metals, Lily looks young and bohemian in a modern selection of beads and baubles. Check out that big wavy hair! And we can't forget sweet Sasha. Though her diamond-studded bangles take precedent, I can't help but be drawn into her captivating eyes. Are you digging this new look?

Fab Ad: Lanvin Fall '08

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Lanvin took a tale from the dark side for their Fall campaign. I have to say, this is simply too dark. The Spring campaign was just as creepy chic, but bubbled with the jewel hued dresses we have now seen oodles of times. With the similar dark backdrop, the black clothes blend right in. Bummer, the serious but sexy clothes are hard to see. I love the Liya and Raquel duo, though. They look as if they are strutting through some dark forest, but that's about it.

Which Vogue Italia Cover Do You Think Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:00:22 -0700

A while back, we announced something groundbreaking: the July issue of Vogue Italia would feature all black models. While I don't think it should be a big to-do, because this should be happening anyway, unfortunately it is and it's not happening. This rides on the heels of the runways being so white washed as of late. And let's not forget the late and great Yves Saint Laurent, who encouraged the use of African-American models and launched the career of Naomi Campbell.

The proofs are in! Naomi, Jourdan Dunn, Liya Kebede, and Sessilee Lopez can all call themselves cover girls because each has a separate cover, photographed by Steven Meisel. Not to pin these gorgeous gals against one another, but just as friendly competition, which Vogue Italia cover do you think is most Fab? And while we're on the subject - do you think this is a step in the right direction for model diversity?

Fab Flash: Vogue Italia Sets a New Trend

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:00:11 -0700

The fashion industry is always under scrutiny for some reason, whether it's because of the use of size zero models or for it's extravagant prices. Currently (and rightly so) the industry is facing great pressure to use a larger variety of models as a better representation of real women. In April, Vogue Italia outlined a plan to combat the problem by producing an issue featuring almost all black models.

Upcoming model Jourdan Dunn has already spoken out about the lack of women of colour in fashion so she was eager to appear in the issue. Also, Naomi Campbell who was the first black model to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris wanted to be part of the ground breaking edition. The photography is by Steven Meisel.

Although it has been planned for some time, it feels quite a fitting tribute to Yves Saint Laurent who championed the use of black models both on the catwalk and in magazines. See images from the issue, which is out in Europe on Thursday 26th, below.
