Fab Flash: Economy Forces Bridal Designers to Think Bigger and Cheaper

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:50:22 -0700

During trying, economic times, bridal designers are forced to think creatively. On top of slashing prices, designers are cooking up new, imaginative designs to lure in the bride to be. Vera Wang, for example, reduced her price points up to 50 percent with gowns retailing at $3,600 compared to $5,500 last year. "There is a bigger challenge. You have to be creative and be sure you want to show something special,” said Carolina Herrera who came up with a unique bridal collection inspired by classic painters such as Claude Monet and Édouard Manet.

Carolina Herrera's Bridal Toppers: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:00:22 -0700

No doubt Carolina Herrera makes some desirable wedding gowns. She just showed her Spring 2010 collection and, while gorgeous gowns glided down the runway, I was distracted by the bridal toppers. It's a fun runway idea, but in real life, not so much. Maybe if it weren't with a traditional white gown. White bikini and fedora? Now that makes sense. What do you think, if you were engaged, would you ever consider wearing a hat on your big day?

Golden Globe Awards: Renee Zellweger

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:31:13 -0800

Renee Zellweger showed a more experimental side than we're used to. She walked the red carpet in a sheer black blouse with cutout shoulders and a mermaid-style skirt - Carolina Herrera, of course. She adorned both her wrists with gold bangles and carried her necessities in a gold clutch. Are you digging this or is it too much?

2008 Emmy Awards: Jennifer Love Hewitt

FabSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 19:56:48 -0700

Jennifer Love Hewitt told the E! hosts she loves Carolina Herrera so it's no surprise that she picked a dress by the designer for tonight. It's black, it's white, it's strapless, it's flowy. A diamond lariat necklace and diamond stud earrings add shine. Is it too prom or just perfect?

Trend Alert: Far from Lame Lamé

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Let's face it: Lamé got a bad rap. The world experienced too much of a good thing in the excessive '80s. I think we've finally recovered from the overdose. Here we are, far from lame lamé. Mad Men's January Jones shows us how to have fun in lamé in her one shoulder belted frock. She slices the sheen up with a black banded belt but dares to wear metallic sandals to keep the fluidity. Does she pull it off? Is lamé still lame? You tell me.

Did you know that car makers are looking to fashion for color inspiration?

Runway season is "the time when we're actually trying to confirm our own design forecasts," Jon Hall, Ford Motor Co.'s chief paint designer said. "But we're also looking for big trends of what collectively the fashion designers are doing, whether that's transparent overlays or more pastel colors or darker colors or whatever it might be."
