Fab Flash: Jonathan Saunders to Show in London Again

FabSugarUK — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:30:53 -0800

September 2009 was a big month for British fashion as London celebrated it's 25th year as a style capital. Many of the UK's biggest names and brands, including Matthew Williamson, Burberry and Jonathan Saunders, brought their designs home creating an amazing buzz around the city.

Although the celebrations are nearly over with, it seems that the experience has left quite the impact on Jonathan Saunders who told Vogue that he intends to stay here for one more season.

He explained, "I just loved showing here in September. It's much easier than New York because I'm still based in London, and I always will be - but I will go back to show in New York next autumn. It's just such a huge country - and nationwide stores like Saks and Barney's give you such huge reach. It's good for a business." I think this is a great boost for London, I wonder if any other designers will follow suit?

Hillary Talks Sexism, Obama's Job Offer, and Mad Men to Vogue

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:00:35 -0800

Hillary Clinton finally sat down for a long-overdue Vogue interview. She offended editor Anna Wintour during the primaries by turning down the fashion mag out fear of looking "too feminine." And though she won't be on the December cover, the article is as substantial and satisfying as a cover story.

From night swimming alone to her favorite shows (Mad Men!), we see a side of Madame Secretary that all the vetting in the world would not unearth. See some of what she had to say below.

On visiting countries as a high-ranking female: "You can go to some countries and there's not a woman in the room. They don't even make the effort to give me the token woman minister. . . . And in lots of African countries the honorific for women is 'Mama.' So I had lots of people say to me, 'Mama, what about this; Mama, what about that?'"

On President Obama's job offer: "I was stunned after the election when President Obama asked me to consider this. . . . I really was very unconvinced. I did not think it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to do it. I just really had a lot of doubts, and I kept suggesting other people: Well, how about this person! How about that person! This one would be really good! But then a friend of mine called me and basically said, 'How would you have felt if you'd been elected and you'd called him and asked him to do this?' And that really made a big impression on me. How do you say no? And so . . . I said yes. And here I am."

On Mad Men: "That's how it was! That's why the women's-liberation movement was so shocking. It was like news from outer space"

See what else she had to say after the jump.

Nicole and Alexa Are In Fashion At CFDA & Vogue Awards

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:25:01 -0800

Nicole Kidman was out in New York last night at the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York. She wore a long white dress to the stylish event, which probably would not have stayed so clean if her gorgeous 16 month old daughter Sunday Rose was with her! Model Jessica Stam also wore a long white dress and hung out with Karen Elson and Jessica Szohr at the event - no New York night is complete without a Gossip Girl castmember or two!

Jessica's boyfriend Ed Westwick also attended, and looked rather understated next to Mark Ronson's statement suit - while Ed's character Chuck Bass is known for his eccentric attire, I don't think that's even something he would go for! Fellow Brit Alexa Chung looked fab as usual in her red dress and matching lipstick - love her look!

Girls on Film: Kristen McMenamy, Vogue Italia

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

There are editorials that wow, then there are editorials that WOW. Can you guess which one supermodel Kristen McMenamy would deliver when paired with photographer Steven Meisel? This Vogue Italia editorial is strictly titled "McMenamy." And really, that's all the words it needs because the photos are the real stunners. They remind me - not that I needed a reminder - why Kristen was a hot hit in the '90s. Recall for yourself . . .

Girls on Film: Daria Werbowy, Vogue Nippon, Nov. '09

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

I will never tire of Daria Werbowy's amazingness. For Vogue Nippon's November issue, the Ukrainian-Canadian model strutted her stuff in an editorial dubbed "Girl of the Golden Field." Now this is how Fall dressing should be: cozy sweaters, sherpa-lined leather jackets, ponchos, boots, and fur coats. Daria continues to astonish me with her scintillating bod - boobage alert! - and piercing blue eyes. Of course, her hair is tousled to perfection – Bella, how can I get this look? Furthermore, the prairie backdrop is beyond beautiful. Keep clicking for more Daria action . . .

Fab Cover: Lara Stone for British Vogue

FabSugarUK — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:30:34 -0800

The December issue of Vogue hits newsstands today as the much talked about model, Lara Stone, scores her first UK Vogue cover. Lara was shot by Mario Testino (who seems to shoot nearly every cover recently) in a feature titled 'Stone Age' where she poses in Oscar de la Renta and Dior.

Inside the magazine there is a photoshoot starring Doutzen Kroes, who may seem like an unusual choice for Vogue UK, but who looks beautiful and Daisy Lowe.

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this issue to see all the amazing photos of Lara. How about you, will you be purchasing a copy?

Fab Flash: Alex Curran for Vogue

FabSugarUK — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:43:45 -0700

Last month, I asked you if you thought WAGs should sit front row at fashion week and you were pretty divided. Victoria Beckham has worked hard to distance herself from the 'WAG' tag, as has Cheryl Cole, but it seems there's another footballer's wife just waiting in the wings to make her mark. Alex Curran, wife of Steven Gerrard, has been the poster girl for Northern style and the stereotypical Cricket boutique fan for several years and has now caught the eye of British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman.

Both Cheryl and Victoria have previously graced the cover of the publication, but Alex is now going to make an appearance too. Rumour has it that she hasn't quite scored the cover, but has been shot for the December issue's diary section.

The shoot reportedly took place during London Fashion Week and her appearance is begins a new feature. How do you feel about Alex appearing in the magazine? Would it put you off buying the style bible?
