Trend Alert: Paisley Dress

FabSugarUK — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:00:12 -0700

Paisley is a trend that seems to have come out of nowhere. It fits in nicely with this Summer's Boho renaissance (in the form of Bopo) and has been included in collections by Matthew Williamson, Paul Smith and Paul & Joe.

The traditional Persian fabric adorns dresses this summer for the ultimate festival chic look. The great thing is, the darker paisley prints are perfect for Autumn too. Just team with black tights and a cardigan, or even a gilet if you fancy!

Below are some of the paisley print dresses currently available. I especially love the Matthew Williamson Paisley print dress (£695).

Dress Me Up: It's an Ethnic World

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The fashion world is heavily influenced by Africa and Asia as we speak. And it's a good thing because those countries have a lot of undiscovered trends to offer. British designer Matthew Williamson was ethnically inspired for Spring, and as a result, we saw a lot of beading, mixed prints, and bold colors. To make the yellow mini dress Anja Rubik is wearing more interesting, Matthew threw on a khaki jacket and a beaded belt. If you want to channel a faraway place this Summer, you should do the same.

Jennifer, Gwyneth and More Spend Thanksgiving in Morocco

Molly — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:12:41 -0800

While many of us were chowing down on Thanksgiving, some stars were all decked out for the re-opening of the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco yesterday. Jennifer Aniston led the way in her sexy black gown after arriving in town just in time for the party. Orlando Bloom had his glamorous girlfriend Miranda Kerr on his arm while Salma Hayek opted for a one-shouldered dress. Gwyneth Paltrow went with something lighter as she spent the American holiday away from her family. Adrien Brody recently wowed us with his hot shirtless abs in Hawaii, but he also looked pretty dapper all dressed up to hit the red carpet.

The Look For Less: Matthew Williamson Tie-Dye Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Tie-dye went from hippie to hip in Matthew Williamson's Spring '08 collection. The designer breathed life into his mini dresses by smattering the '70s-defined print in a combination of black and bright pink. Yum! Lucky for those who can't afford Matthew Williamson anything, and are too lazy to create it from scratch, there's a cheaper alternative just waiting to be worn.

Of course, nothing can compare to Matthew Williamson's tie-dye job, but this Asos Unique Boutique Silk Dip Dye Chain Dress ($98) comes pretty close. It has the same tie-dye slash ombre effect and uses a similar pink. If you still crave some black in the mix, throw on black accessories. Now you're good to go with no scruffy hippie in sight!

Spotted! Ginnifer Goodwin in Matthew Williamson For H&M

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Look who got her hands on a Matthew Williamson for H&M dress before it hits stores! Although - she doesn't look very happy to be wearing it, smile Ginnifer! The Big Love actress wore the artsy dress to a party in Las Vegas, but opted to leave it loose for an effortless look. She kept her accessories to a minimum, making the dress the center of attention. H&M paired the dress with a studded belt - I can't decide which styling I prefer. What about you? April 23 peeps . . .

Who Wore It Better? Matthew Williamson For H&M Peacock Print Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:00:22 -0700

There were mixed results, but the majority of you loved Katy Perry in this Matthew Williamson for H&M dress. Does the dress suit heiress Nicky Hilton, too? She wore it hosting a party at Prive Las Vegas. She opted for an oversized clutch, keeping with the feather theme, while Katy wore a cheeky pink metallic lip clutch. As well, Nicky went bare legs and matchy shoes, while Katy wore tights and metallic shoes. Who wore this peacock frock best?

Who Wore It Better? Matthew Williamson Coral Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:00:08 -0800

Here is a supreme example of how two completely different vibes can be achieved using the same dress. Zoe Kravitz first discovered this Matthew Williamson coral dress back in November, when she wore it to a benefit gala. Like always, she gave it her own unique twist by throwing on a colorful sequin shrug, orange clutch, and nude sandals. Eva Longoria took a more subtle route by wearing the coral dress with gold peep-toe platforms and small earrings. Whose look do you prefer - Zoe's layered one or Eva's pared down version?

Inspired: Matthew Williamson Tie-Dye Dress

CasaSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:15:38 -0700

This dress, which FabSugar noted took tie-dye from hippie to hip, is from Matthew Williamson's Spring '08 collection. While tie-dye is nearly synonymous with hippies, the craft of tie dying predates Woodstock by centuries. Some tie-dye techniques and traditions include Japanese Shibori, Indian Bandhani, and African tie-dye. Tie-dye's unique look is accomplished by bundling or tying up the material before applying dye, which only allows the dye to reach part of the area to which it is applied. The boundaries of the dyed and non-dyed areas are usually somewhat blurred.

Tie-dye's influence on the world of fashion has also trickled down to interior design. I've found a number of home accents that take cues from the technique of tie-dye. Take a look at the widget to see if there are any that you like.

Fab Site: Rent the Runway

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

The words "rent the runway" are music to my ears. It's the ideal situation for a gal on a budget - falling in love with a catwalk look, borrowing it for a day, then returning it to its rightful owner. Now I can do that with Rent the Runway. Dying to begin? First sign up to be added to the wait list. Once you're in, peruse its A-list selection (Proenza Schouler, Matthew Williamson, Yigal Azrouel), get the dress in two different sizes, wear it, keep it for four or eight days, and send it back in a prepaid package without dry cleaning it. Trust me, there's some good stuff in there, and the prices don't sting ($50 to $200). Perfect for that holiday wedding or office party!
