Who Wore It Better? Luscious Leather LBD

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Can't seem to find the gusto to don a leather dress? Look to Kate Moss and Carine Roitfeld for inspiration. No doubt, the two are working it in their identical long-sleeve leather dresses. Kate Moss added some rockability to the high-neck cut by accessorizing with sexy bare legs, a studded belt, and pointy-toe pumps. In comparison, the French Vogue editor covered her stems with sexy, sheer black tights and tough, suede ankle boots. Notice how Moss tossed her hair up, while Carine kept hers down. Tell me, which leather lovin' lady do you prefer?

Fab Blab: Carine Roitfeld on Anna Wintour's Job

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:10:08 -0700

Carine Roitfeld has revealed that she won't stay at Vogue Paris for much longer. But what will she do? She hinted at filmmaking during a recent chat with the French Le Journal du Dimanche. When asked if one day she will succeed Anna Wintour as American Vogue editor, she said: "I would consider it, but I think I would refuse it. I’m not sure I have her strength. . . . Anna Wintour shows fashion and the collections. She sees everything and imposes her choices. Myself, I leave room for a lot of points of view." After seeing The September Issue, yep, that sounds about right.

FABTV: Carine Roitfeld Brings Chic to CNN

Karl Lagerfeld loves Carine Roitfeld's coquettish attitude. Tom Ford still remembers an exceptionally fashionable outfit she wore almost a decade ago. Riccardo Tisci credits her for his success. Francois Henri Pinault (Salma Hayek's hubby) picks her brain regularly. These are just some of the fun tidbits shared in CNN's three-part documentary of the French Vogue editor. My most surprising discovery? How downright humble she is in an industry where egos are growing by the minute. Watch Part 1 as cameras follow an impeccably dressed Carine throughout days at the French Vogue offices and while she attends the latest Couture Week - more specifically, the shows of Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Givenchy, and Maison Martin Margiela.

If being the editor of French Vogue weren't enough, Carine Roitfeld is taking her skills to a television screen near you. Carine has allowed CNN to follow in her fashionable footsteps during Milan and Paris Fashion Week for a documentary slated to air later this month.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2009: Best-Dressed Guests

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 14:00:08 -0800

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Fashion Week is the ultimate time to step up your fashion game. It's no time to be shy or play it safe. You have tons of eyeballs on you and you better believe those eyeballs are sizing your style up. But only a handful of ladies succeed in looking smashing, head to toe. Actresses usually opt for pretty, while industry insiders, like Nina Garcia, walk the fashion-forward route. We're well into New York Fashion Week now, so I present to you my best-dressed guests thus far.

Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

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 Roitfeld. Here, at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris, the Vogue Paris editor gave new meaning to the term power suit. The serious glare also helps. See who else graced us with their fashionable presence over the past month . . .

Freaky or Fabulous? Paris Vogue Gives Anti-Fur the Finger

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:00:22 -0700

European Vogue magazines are pushing some fashion buttons. Alas, fashion must always be exciting, daring, and innovative. Can I get an amen?

First, Vogue Italia's all-black July issue and now editor Carine Roitfeld, with photog Mario Testino and muse Raquel Zimmermann, take a stand for fur. One of the longest standing debates in fashion - and here on Fab - Vogue is clearly saying "in your face antifur advocates." This spread is provocative and aggressive; from the high-octane furs to the black leather to the raccoon-eyed model. It's powerful.

Powerful, but is it freaky or fabulous?

This Week's Fab Favorite: Carine Roitfeld & Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Seeing Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia in such powerful ensembles at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival makes me wish my mom and I were that rich and famous! There were a lot, and I mean a lot, of stunning red-carpet looks this week, but no one was as captivating as this fashionable French mother-daughter duo. Natalie Portman in Givenchy came in at close second, but Carine and Julia take the crown because I believe in power in numbers. The first of the two - Carine in Lanvin - were slick women in black. Later, at the amFAR event they were bombshells in Balmain (cue lightening sound effects). Fierce.
