Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

Who, what, where (or wear)? These are the questions people had running through their heads when the Spring Fashion Weeks were in effect. We were mostly focusing on the clothes rather than who dominated the front rows, but let us also dissect the guests. Editors, celebrities, and models get invited to the shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. One lady who always looked amazing was Carine Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring '09: Sash Belts

Belts have been a key accessory the past year. It's clear why: a belt defines a waist, creates contrast, and encapsulates the female form. Even though we saw a belt in nearly every scene in the Sex and the City movie, for Spring, belts have loosened up and taken notes from martial arts. Wrapped fabric, cinched scarves, and obi belts stood out among the belt bevy. Designers presented these styles Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Crop It, Slice It

Some of you mind overexposure on the runway and some of you don't. I can live with that. But if you start working on those abs now, by Springtime you can honor clothes that are cropped and sliced. I think crop tops can be adorable — when worn with a high waisted skirt or slouchy trousers — but you really have to have a smokin' bod. For those on the fence, a sliced or cut out top or dress is Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Throw On Jackets

So maybe Harem and pajama pants aren't your cup of Chai. I'm sure a throw on jacket will appease your fashion taste buds. Blazers and tuxedo jackets have been in vogue for a while now, so I was excited to see variations on motorcycle jackets, cardigans, short-sleeve trenches and more. I especially perked up for floor-grazing cardigans and ruffled jackets. But this Yigal Azrouel sporty jacket is a Read more

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: The New Pant

The item of clothing to put under the microscope from the Spring New York collections is the pants. Pant play has been creeping up on us — from Louis Vuitton's cropped and tailored trousers to Nina Ricci's silky pajama pants — but no item of clothing was rejiggered more than the pant. While Harem pants and slinky trousers have dramatic flair and seem to float down the runway, the real life Read more

Get the Look: Monique Lhuillier Spring 2009

FabSugar has been staying on top of her New York Fashion Week coverage, and I've fallen hard for Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2009 collection of billowy, island-chic dresses.

Here, a natural tulle Read more
