2009 Fall New York Fashion Week: Marchesa

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 13:00:22 -0800

I knew Marchesa was going to be special when, as I ran into the entrance to escape the rain, Diane Kruger's and my eyes met. Only for a nanosecond, as she was on her way back into the rain, she slipped on her shades and was off like Cinderella. Many of the billowing gowns and fairytale frocks inside were fit for princess Diane. It was nasty outside, fantasy inside.

I was a Marchesa presentation virgin and I can never go back. Marchesa, always romantic and enchanting, served layers and layers of tulle, silk chiffon, ribbons, embroideries, bows, sequins, and lace. A celestial theme of shooting stars, sparkle, and unicorns felt fantastical. This lilac chiffon-draped dress with embroidered bodice can easily earn Kate Winslet a best dressed nod at the Oscars this weekend. The shoes, by Louboutin, were satin, super high, and sometimes glittered and laced. While Marchesa's gowns tend to steal the spotlight, a couple pant ensembles were sharp; tuxedo trousers paired with romantic ruffles blouses and sculptured jackets. Smitten yet?

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:00:11 -0800

It's always a pleasure seeing the impeccable Diane Kruger. The last time we featured her was way too long ago at New York Fashion Week. Thankfully, the actress turned up to the Ray-Ban party last night to celebrate the newest Clubmaster shades. She rocked the red carpet in her Chanel Resort '09 black and ivory tuxedo jumpsuit and Christian Louboutin Mary Janes. While finding a similar jumpsuit is unlikely, re-creating this look is a cinch. All you need are black satin pants, an ivory blouse, and a bow tie. Voila.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Solid Silk Twill Top - $248.00	Sexy Satin Skinny-Leg Editor Pant - $69.50
Butterfly Pre-Tied Bow Tie - $60.00	Christian Louboutin Barre - Black - $965.00
Kenneth Cole New York Women's Black Leather Strap Watch - $85.00	Jeweled Flower Bobby Pin - $2.80
Cervicati - $20.00	Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses - $129.00
Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick - Absolutely Irresistable Red - $27.00

The Look For Less: Tibi Bow Detail Blouse

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:00:22 -0700

It's no secret that I adore the combination of black and white. I love this Tibi Bow Detail Blouse, $220, not only for that reason, but also because it's feminine and chic. Seeing the price made me cringe though because I can't justify spending that much on a simple blouse. Lucky for me and you, there's a cheaper version out there.

Banana Republic's Satin Ribbon Top, $78, is similar in that it's black and white and has the huge black bow detail. I can just see myself wearing it with stovepipe pants and some sexy booties. And I can definitely justify spending $78 on a gorgeous blouse!

Malandrino Fall 2008: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:00:11 -0800

We all know and love my designer pal Catherine Malandrino for her colorful cocktail dresses, but she's taken a sudden turn for her Fall '08 collection. You decide which Malandrino you love more. Thick sweaters and textured skirt suits like this one dominated. I can do without the swim cap-like beanie, but I think I'd sport the blue suit, especially with the satin chartreuse blouse and green leather gloves. It's classic with a funky twist. What are your thoughts?

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Mara Hoffman

FabSugar — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 23:00:22 -0800

Prints were alive and well on the Mara Hoffman Fall runway, but they weren't the recent floral patterns seen everywhere.

Eclectic prints found themselves on long turtleneck dresses, sheer tie-front blouses, flowy frocks, and belted sweaters. On the less-bold end of the spectrum were the solids: tuxedo jumpers, satin skinny pants, and long vests. Whether you're a prints or solid girl, there's something to strike your fancy. There was a slight desert warfare feel with the accessories and music: beanie-cum-shawl pieces, aviators and leather gloves toughened the catwalk.

How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Before this, I didn't know there were degrees of being matchy matchy. Kate Hudson took the concept to a whole new level at a recent D&G party. I know that grey is a prevalent color right now, but that doesn't mean you have to wear it head to toe, literally.

The top half of Kate's outfit is quite lovely. It's only when you look down that you cringe. The satin and suede combination kills the look, because as we Fabazons know, fabrics are of utmost importance. If I were Kate, I'd pair the jeweled neck blouse with a black mini skirt, bare legs, and a hot pair of pumps.

How would YOU wear it?

Trend Alert: Ribbons and Bows

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 10:14:29 -0700

Here's a trend that's easy to tie on: Luscious ribbons in rich colors and materials, fashioned into big, graceful bows. Girly lace and ribbon accents are huge this fall, and now bows are showing up on everything from dresses to tops to shoes and purses. It's a great look for pretty dinner parties and holiday gatherings and an easy way to dress up an otherwise simple look. Here's a look at some of our favorite finds.

3.1 Phillip Lim Silk Tea Dress, $530, available here.

Gap Peep-Toe Bow Wedge, $48, available here.

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Candie Gray Platform Pumps, $395, available here.

Emma Gordon London Granite Grace Bag, $80, available here.

Corey Lynn Calter Meadowlark Blouse, $148, available here.

Other ideas for accessorizing with ribbons:

Tie a thick satin sash around your waist with jeans and a girly blouse.
Weave a ribbon into a long chain necklace and tie a bow at the bottom.
Tie an embroidered ribbon around your neck and wear it as a choker, or tie a bow on your wrist as a bracelet.

Designer Spotlight: Kristen Coates

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 13:00:33 -0700

You may recognize the clothing of designer Kristen Coates from such online sites as Couture Candy and Satine Boutique. They are definitely not pieces that mesh into a crowd.

Kristen creates modern and feminine dresses, jumpers, blouses and jackets for the every day woman; the one that likes to dance, work, go to the beach, lounge by the pool, go to fancy dinners and bake cupcakes. Basically, girls like herself! There's so many things that women in this day and age do in their busy lives. Kristen's clothes are aimed to provide comfort and style for the on-the-go gals, which is basically all of us!

The women's designer also has a philanthropic side. Her signature, the Painted Owl, which shows up on some of her pieces, raises awareness for the ongoing effort to support non-profits dedicated to protecting the Earth. Twenty percent of her clothing bearing the Painted Owl are donated to Clean Air - Cool Planet to promote solutions to global warming.

It's so refreshing to see designers doing good with their talent!
