Fab Finds of the Week: Sizzlin' Hot Frocks

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I hope you remembered to shave your legs because this week's Fab finds were filled with stem baring dresses. I don't blame you for all the sizzlin' hot frocks, after all, isn't that why we love the hot hot heat?

The Fab Finder of the week is velizabethb, because she found this ethereal 70's inspired Jovovich-Hawk Elisa Mini Dress. The white, flowy, accordion layers make me want to melt into the sky.

Designers include 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander McQueen, J Brand, Chloe and more.

There's always a featured designer, and as a bonus, Philip and Brix often suggest their favorite picks. Next time you're in London, stop in and say "hello chaps!"

On Our Radar: Gap Design Editions With Phillip Lim and More

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last year's Gap Design Editions invited Rodarte, Doo.Ri, and Thakoon's to rework the classic white shirt, and this year we'll see what 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, Philip Crangi, and Threeasfour can do.

For the collection, which debuts in stores April 15, Phillip Lim created four pieces: a tie-neck shirt, a bell-sleeve ruched shirt, and a layered-sleeve top, all $78, Band of Outsiders concocted a patchwork tunic ($88), and Threeasfour designed a camisole ($78) and a cutaway dress ($88).

The Design Editions will also incorporate menswear and jewelry this year, which is where Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi come in. Bastian produced an epaulet and a Western shirt for men, both $78, and Crangi came up with such looks as a white or black wide resin cuff ($45). Sounds exciting - I loved the collection last year!

Sneak Peek! Gap Design Editions With Phillip Lim and More

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:00:22 -0700

The newest crop of Gap Design Editions are going to be in stores before we know it: April 15 is only a few weeks away! For this round, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, and Threeasfour all riffed on the classic white button-down ($78-$88), and Philip Crangi whipped up black and white resin cuffs ($45). I still wear the Rodarte Design Edition top I picked up last year; it's definitely not your typical white shirt. But I have to ask: Should the GAP be enlisting these designers to take on a different wardrobe staple? I would have loved to see what this group could do with a more affordable LBD. Nonetheless, for those who missed the Design Editions the first time around, get ready to pounce!
