Sarah Larson Works the Runway Hard For the Money

George Clooney's girlfriend Sarah Larson hit the runway of LA Fashion Week last night, looking a far cry from the glamorous Oscars. She walked the catwalk as part of the Ashley Paige swimwear show in some one-piece suits and severe makeup. I'm not sure they're her, um, best looks, but that's hardly her fault. Sarah's been an "actress/model" for a while now, recently posing for the cover of Via Read more

LA Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Jenny Han

Jenny Han knows how to please the ladies. Hard partying, Melrose shopping, brunch eating ladies. Her Fall collection of super femme designs has something for everyone. Since 2004, Han has been churning out clothes that are “effortlessly elegant” and “indefinably charming," and her Fall collection is just that. With some youthful prints and thigh high mini skirts to add zest. Silky party Read more

LA Fashion Week Trend Alert: Little Red Riding Hood

Randomly, Little Red Riding Hood made an appearance on the catwalks of LA Fashion Week. Except, the brave little girl came in the form of tall, beanpole models showing off a Fall 2008 trend: hoods. Striped cardigans had hoods at the Whitley Kros show (left); coats at the Alexis Lamontagna collection came hooded (right); and one of Octavio Carlin's silk dresses even incorporated the style. Before Read more

Falguni & Shane Peacock: Love It or Hate It?

After a couple ho-hum shows at LA Fashion Week, this show was definitely not boring. Falguni & Shane Peacock sent out print after print of sexily draped dresses which would have been wonderful, if it wasn't for an excessive use of rhinestone and beading adornments. While a lesson in constraint was in order, I was wondering what you thought about this draped one shoulder print dress — don't Read more

Exclusive Fab Interview With Nicholai by Nicky Hilton!

Let me tell ya, coming to LA Fashion Week, I was not expecting to claim Nicholai by Nicky Hilton as my favorite collection. The naughty equestrian clothes were desirable, but the designer herself was delightful. A supportive big sis Paris showed up backstage and naturally caused a frenzy. Oh, but before approaching Nicky and the photogs, Paris asked to see a mirror to inspect herself in her red Read more

FabSugar was on the other side of the runway amidst Lauren's family Read more

LA Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Whitley Kros

It was all checkerboard chicks at Whitley Kros' Fall '08 show! This time around, Marissa Ribisi (Giovanni's twin sis, in case you forgot) and Sophia Banks whipped up a more '80s-inspired collection, but as always, they delivered the fun. Models, including America's Next Top Model cycle nine second runner up Chantal Jones, sashayed down the catwalk in oodles of plaid, large black and white Read more
