This Just In! Target Taps Kate Moss for GO International Collection

Take this Topshop — Kate Moss is bringing her designing talents across the pond to the US.

Take this Topshop — Kate Moss is bringing her designing talents across the pond to the US. The company just announced that it will be working with the supermodel on an upcoming collection for GO International in the Fall. Kate will be following another model/designer duo, Jovovich-Hawk, but she's not worried. "I was excited to be approached by Target because I love what they've done with previous designers like Jovovich-Hawk and Proenza Schouler. I will make sure to deliver the best collection GO International has seen yet," she said. I knew Target was cool, but I didn't know it was this cool.

Fab Read: Fashion Illustrations by Fashion Designers

Whether they admit it or not, everyone loves sneaking a peek at something they're not supposed to see.

Whether they admit it or not, everyone loves sneaking a peek at something they're not supposed to see.

Fashion historian Laird Borrelli's new book Fashion Illustration by Fashion Designers ($27) facilitates just that, by giving us a look at designer's sketches that aren't meant for public consumption.

The newly released book features 250 original sketches from 50 of the world's top designers, including Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Phillip Lim, Rodarte, Christopher Kane, and Giambattista Valli. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to sink my teeth into this one.

Faboo Engagement Rings

In celebration of the official wedding season and the launch of our sister site, IDoSugar, I decided to delve, fingers first, into faboo engagement rings.

In celebration of the official wedding season and the launch of our sister site, IDoSugar, I decided to delve, fingers first, into faboo engagement rings. Engagement rings come in all styles and (I promise) there's something out there that'll tickle your fancy. I'm an unconventional gal and would prefer something a bit more untraditional. After all, I'll be wearing the ring for the rest of my life and would want it to reflect my Fab style and taste. Let that be your mantra when you're deciding on one, too!

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 20 "Back to LA"

On this week's episode of The Hills Lauren headed home after an exhilarating trip to Paris.

On this week's episode of The Hills Lauren headed home after an exhilarating trip to Paris. Though she was excited to reconnect with Audrina, she was saddened by Whitney's imminent departure from Teen Vogue. And, she wished she could forget about Brody and his antics altogether. We got to see a lot of our Fab favorite Whitney as she started an exciting new chapter of her life working for Kelly Cutrone at People's Revolution, though Kelly's brusque manner and blunt description of the demanding position may have scared her a little. Meanwhile, Heider and Spenci dealt with their relationship turmoil, both a little unsure about what their new situation living apart will mean. See how well you were paying to the most important part of the show (fashion, duh!) with our fun quiz!

Be sure to take Bella's beauty quiz and geek's tech quiz, too!

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker has been pretty low-key lately, but when she comes around, she does so with a big (and pink) bang!

Sarah Jessica Parker has been pretty low-key lately, but when she comes around, she does so with a big (and pink) bang! The actress attended NYC's premiere of Smart People looking ever the rock 'n roller in her tighter than tight leather leggings. To avoid looking too masculine, SJP chose a hot pink cropped Jil Sander jacket with Carrie Bradshaw's signature flower brooch. This pink lady has guts for incorporating so many colors and prints; we can definitely learn a thing or two from her!

Fab Flash: Woody Allen Sues American Apparel

American Apparel has faced no shortage of controversy, and it looks like they're not turning over a new leaf just yet.

American Apparel has faced no shortage of controversy, and it looks like they're not turning over a new leaf just yet.

The clothing company has been sued for $10 million by director Woody Allen, who claims AA used his image on billboards and the Internet without his consent. The ads, which went up in May 2007, depict Allen as a rabbi, a shot which the lawsuit alleges American Apparel ripped off from Allen's 1977 movie Annie Hall.

American Apparel, like Abercrombie & Fitch, is well-known for their provocative advertising, mostly involving women in suggestive poses. Do you think this takes it to a new level?

Paris Hilton in Diane von Furstenberg: Love It or Hate It?

Paris Hilton has been quite a loyal fan to Diane von Furstenberg lately.

Paris Hilton has been quite a loyal fan to Diane von Furstenberg lately. First she wore the designer's yellow Naro dress and now she's traveling the world in Diane's designs. I am in love with her latest crop of ethnic-inspired frocks, especially this Diane von Furstenberg Ora Patchwork Dress ($585). Though I'm hesitant to deem Paris a style icon, I have to admit this dress works particularly well with her slim figure and height. Do you agree?
