Backstage Beauty:  Peter Som

While FabSugar attended the Peter Som fashion show last season, they were unable to make it on this trip—but that's okay. BellaSugar's got the goods on how to create the sexy, tousled hair from this season's Spring 2008 show. The goal of lead hairstylist Eugene Souleiman was to have runway hair that looked fresh, young and natural, with a slight edge. He is quoted saying, "It's the look Read more

Backstage Beauty: VPL

Last week, our FabSugar team attended the VPL Spring 2008 Fashion Show. While the clothing was sheer and chic, and the makeup was pretty and plain, the hair was va va voom! While most of us do whatever we can to fight the frizzies, hairstylist extraordinaire Neil Moodie, created a wild, crimped 'do that made those frizzies, kinda flattering. All of the products he used were from Bumble and Read more

The Look: Alice + Olivia in Wonderland

This week my girl FabSugar found herself at the Alice + Olivia Alice in Wonderland themed show. While the clothing is absolutely gorgeous — lots of bold patterns and frilly sleeves — and the hair wonderfully mod, I was really excited to discover that she was on Yum patrol and snapped lots of photos of the nosh and drinks. An ornate yellow table and matching yellow chairs stood in the center Read more

Love It or Hate It? Heatherette

Crazy club-kid duo Heatherette isn't known for being subtle, and its models' hairstyles were as over-the-top as you'd expect. I thought it was a lot of fun, and very young—it reminded me of the way my friends and I would play "hairdresser" as girls. If you like the winged metallic eyeliner shown here on Chanel Iman (yes, that's her real name), you'll be excited to know that Heatherette will Read more

New York Fashion Week Spring 2008, VPL: Love It or Hate It?

In honor of some of the polarizing looks showing at New York Fashion Week, I thought we would do a few fashion week editions of Love It or Hate It! Take this Spring VPL ensemble, with its mustard, gray, and white color palette. It reminds me of an avant-garde ballet outfit, with its leotard-looking layered top and sheer lampshade-inspired skirt. So maybe it's not wearable in the real world, Read more

Small Talk with Ilan Hall

Last week our very own FabSugar had the opportunity to chat with Top Chef Season Two winner, Ilan Hall. They were both backstage at the Cynthia Rowley Spring 2008 show — Fab reporting on the looks, and Ilan feeding the masses. Luckily for us, they were both able to take a few minutes from their jobs and provide us with a fun interview. FabSugar: What did you have for breakfast? Ilan Hall: I Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Proenza Schouler

When Valentino recently bought a stake in Proenza Schouler, it allowed Jack and Lazaro to keep doing what they're doing, except with more pocket change to throw around. I was excited to see what they would do with the extra money: nicer fabrics? Killer shoes? Here is Proenza Schouler, Chapter 2. The color palette and even the one-shouldered dresses remind me of Balenciaga's Spring 2007 Read more

Love it or Hate It? White Winged Eyeliner at BCBG

On Wednesday afternoon, the highly anticipated BCBG Spring 2008 show took center stage in the Bryant Park tents. FabSugar seemed to be smitten by the clothing, but I'm not entirely sold on the makeup choice to match. Here are a couple of pictures of the pretty Jessica Stam from before and during the show. How do you feel about this white winged eyeliner look? Source and Source Love Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Jeremy Laing

He's been on my radar for a while now, but since I finally got to see his work in person, it's confirmed: 27-year-old Toronto-based designer Jeremy Laing is definitely one to watch. These pictures, from his Spring collection, don't do them justice. Especially because a lot of the finer details are in the backs of his designs, which you can't see in my runway pictures. His inspiration for the Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Rachel Comey

You know how there's this male fantasy about a buttoned up but secretly sexy librarian? Rachel Comey's Spring collection was a hodge-podge of sassy primped up looks. It took place in a rec center gym where you could literally smell the dust. But the live surfer tune band and comprehensive collection made up for the musk. Offering separates from flirty skirts, tie neck blouses, high waisted Read more
