Ray-Ban's Iconic Aviator Redux

In an effort to revamp classic Ray-Ban eyewear, the brand is launching six new looks for the iconic Aviator.

In an effort to revamp classic Ray-Ban eyewear, the brand is launching six new looks for the iconic Aviator. While the shades have become the habitual accessory of celebs, the brand is attempting to reestablish the edginess of the 60-year-old Aviator frames. The new styles, available in June, include the Ray-Ban Craft, Road Spirit, Tech, Titanium, Metal Glide, and the limited edition Ultra Gold, retailing from $139 to $495. While the Metal Glide and Road Spirit offer brighter-hued frames in fuchsia, yellow, and blue, the Tech, the Titanium, and the Ultra Gold lenses will include updates to the actual construction, like new carbon fiber and milled and gold titanium.

To celebrate these new "icons of eyewear" Ray-Ban's teaming up with icons of the rock music world. Tonight, Iggy & the Stooges join the brand for a concert at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn to relaunch the famous frames in rock-star style.

Halloween

A Fabby Halloween: Amelia Airhart

Call me kooky, but I always thought her name was Amelia Airhart — "Air" because she pioneered the friendly skies.

Call me kooky, but I always thought her name was Amelia Airhart — "Air" because she pioneered the friendly skies. Her actual name was Amelia Earhart, and I obviously have some learning to do. Good thing a biopic, starring Hilary Swank, is coming out this Fall. I'm a sucker for shearling, plaid, and fun eyegear, and aviator style is super cute. And easy to assemble — but flight goggles are key. You may recall flight of the aviator was a favorite New York Fashion Week Fall trend. Heads up! On-trend sky style heading your way.

Get ready for lots more Halloween ideas as my Fabby Halloween series takes off. Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

After seasons of menswear items like leather jackets, blazers, tapered trousers, and suiting, I'm ready for a new incarnation.
New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Flight of the Aviator

After seasons of menswear items like leather jackets, blazers, tapered trousers, and suiting, I'm ready for a new incarnation. Shearling jackets, plaid, hoods, and slick contours glided down New York's Fall runways and I'm already on board. Charlotte Ronson often flirts with tough outerwear and vintage prints; this cute look can be easily emulated if you already have a plaid dress and sporty vest. Done and done. Are you ready to take the flight of the aviator? Fly on sister, fly on . . .

Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

It seems this whole Paris-going-to-jail ordeal has done the socialite of all socialites some good.

It seems this whole Paris-going-to-jail ordeal has done the socialite of all socialites some good. Well, good in terms of her fashion choices. Paris Hilton has been looking extra polished and primp as of late, and if it took her going to prison to make it happen, then I'm happy she was sentenced. She looks effortless here in her embroidered shirt dress and white-rim aviators. Now if only she can continue to look this fabulous while on lock-down it would be fab!
