Inspired: Chanel's Dimensional Blooms

CasaSugar — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:00:02 PDT

I just stumbled across images from the Chanel Spring/Summer Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week, which was utterly dreamlike, like a giant pop-up book of bursting, white, paper blooms. An arrangement of 7,000 paper roses, daises, petals, and leaves wound their way around the Pavillon Cambon Capucines, which took a total of 4,800 hours to assemble. While I'd simply die and go to heaven to live in a space like this, it's too time-consuming a project for me. Seeing as Karl and I are on the outs right now, I don't think he'll make it happen for me, either. So, I decided to see if I could track down some smaller doses of dimensional blooms for my home.

Paris Fashion Week Beauty: The Haute Hits and Misses

BellaSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:00:52 PDT

And so, Paris Fashion Week comes to a close. Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen - OK, especially McQueen - all showed their visions for Fall 2009. Since Parisian shows tend to be more over-the-top and wildly creative than their New York counterparts, there's plenty to see here. If the trends translate to the sidewalk from the runway, expect to see matte red lips and updos galore this Fall. And maybe, just maybe, some terrifying clown lips.

Alexa Chung hit the Paris fashion circuit looking casually sexy at the Louis Vuitton show. The European stylista wore a long navy cardigan, black hose, and standout Luxotica-inspired Louis Vuitton platform sandals. A dainty star necklace and silver ring complete her perfectly messy ensemble.

Kate and Jamie Enjoy a Little More Fashion Week Revelry

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 16:30:08 PDT

Kate Moss left the Ritz hotel in Paris this afternoon after yet another evening of parties. She wore a silver gown to walk the red carpet with a dressed up Jamie at Fendi's VIP party last night, where Kate downed a couple drinks and danced while watching Beth Ditto perform on stage. In typical Kate style, it seems like she's enjoying the bashes more than the actual clothes during Fall Fashion Week in both France and England - leading some to speculate that she's putting in face time ahead of landing another big campaign.

2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:00:22 PDT

As Paris Fashion Week bids us adieu, Marc Jacobs fashioned a feast of a finale. With an eclectic mix of baroque, volume, and - you guessed it - the '80s, Fall's Vuitton babe is divinely decked. This collection was not shy on color; crimson, canary yellow, salmon, and emerald created a robust palette, while nude and black balanced. Splattered and cosmic prints also tickled the eyes. Volume, i.e. folds, curves, loops, were festooned asymmetrically and in opposing colors creating flirtatious dimension.

This was mostly a runway of legs, as skirts and dresses reigned; however, boots were ultra thigh-high, creating the illusion of pants. The comic touch this time around was crinkled bunny ears fastened onto delicious Bardot chignons. In keeping with the French splendor of the house, where drama roams free, this was another high-inducing collection by monsieur Jacobs.

The Monsters of Paris Fashion Week

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:00:22 PDT

Paris Fashion Week is no stranger to the avant-garde. In the fashion capital, the crazier, the better. But some designers take the concept of fashion-forward to a whole new level. Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Manish Arora (who often provides costumes for Katy Perry), and Viktor & Rolf are some of the orchestrators who liven up the Parisian catwalks. Face paint, fuzzy helmets, and antlers (left) are just the tip of the iceberg. Let the kookiness begin.

Kate and Jamie Bring the Party to Paris

PopSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:30:35 PDT

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince kept the good times rolling yesterday after the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week. They joined up with frequent companion Lily Allen to hit the label's after-party, which was held in conjunction with Another magazine. Kate moved things to her suite for an after-after-party that got so loud neighbors asked to switch rooms, but she was still out shopping today at Fendi. Kate will be spending more time in the French capital soon. She's agreed to help curate an upcoming exhibit at the city's Musee des Arts Decoratifs about her career, which is just the latest instance of her value to the art world.

Freaky or Fabulous: McQueen's Mental Runway

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:00:22 PDT

Alexander McQueen is one designer who always manages to be both freaky and fabulous. However, the harsh tone with his Fall collection, for me, veered on the hellish side of freaky. Craftsmanship and wow-factor will never be sacrificed, but these creations were something out of a Matthew Barney feature. It's like that scary movie - Hellraiser? - you can't look away from but makes your hair stand on end. In the end, though, I love scary movies. It's your call: freaky or Fab?

2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Givenchy

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:00:22 PDT

No matter what Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci serves up, it's always bound to be ahead of the curve. His latest Fall '09 collection, however, is also simultaneously beautiful, thanks to feather-infested gowns and romantic draping. But it wouldn't be Givenchy if it didn't throw together a mumbo jumbo of anomalies: studs and feathers, sheer and draping, asymmetry and power suits. The color palette is minimal, per usual - black, white, cream - but the silhouettes are anything but.

Pant suits were decked out in plush feathers, draped blouses were more interesting via rope details, LBDs were characterized by crazy draping, sheer blouses were given leather arms. You get the picture? There's more. Draped dresses bedazzled with studs, military style coats covered with fur, and strong shoulders. That's the world of Givenchy in a nutshell - so simple, yet painstakingly complicated.

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

The Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week is always guaranteed to deliver a dose of beautiful starlets. But more important, a diverse mix. While Kate Moss got nearly mobbed entering the premises, others were able to strike a pose for the shutterbugs. From actresses to models to muses, there's a Chanel look for every taste. But which of these looks is tastiest?
