America's Next Top Model Gets New Crop of Model Judges

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:57:32 -0700

Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad aren't the only ones slated to appear on America's Next Top Model cycle 12. A handful of models have also been tapped as guest judges by Tyra. First up? Chanel Iman, who will appear on the two-hour season premiere on Sept. 9. After that is Josie Maran, who will star in episode five, followed by Jessica White in episode six. Old-school Super Kristy Hume will lend her expertise in the eighth episode, while sexy Victoria's Secret siren Marisa Miller will join the fun on episode nine. Not that I mind a resident judge, but these guest judges are going to majorly spice things up.

Are you ready to cruise some more? Bottega Veneta's 2010 Cruise collection has docked, and it brings us important lessons in colors and tailoring. The colors - purple, red, chocolate brown - aren't the norm for resort, but they're luscious nonetheless. Designer Tomas Maier took cues from the menswear line and delivered sleek tailoring with sporty undertones. Chanel Iman and Olga Sherer model tailored blazers, pleated trousers, draped tops, platform sandals, and glam bags. Does this collection float your boat? Click through then vote.

Have you perused and voted on all of tonight's Costume Institute Gala red carpet fare? It came down to slinky colorless dresses for your favorites. But where they lacked in color, they made for up in style, drama, and personality. Vote on the best dressed and stay tuned for more Met fun tomorrow!

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Chanel Iman

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:23:23 -0700

Model cutie Chanel Iman usually wears short skirts and jeans so it's fun to see her in something so glamorous. For this special evening, she chose to wear a plunging animal print Zac Posen tiered gown, with a lariat necklace that lends major shine. Are you interested?

Stars Get Aboard For Matthew Williamson and H&M

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I just got my hands on Matthew Williamson for H&M's debut collection, but now it's all about the upcoming Summer line. Celebrities like Mary-Kate Olsen, Helena Christensen, and Olivia Palermo went all aboard The Majesty boat that was docked at the South Street Seaport in Manhattan. Pink neon lights shone while a performance by Grace Jones amped up the crowd. Those lucky enough to be on board were able to view the Summer collection on models who sashayed throughout the party. "I think it's an amazing collaboration and I think H&M makes really great choices in the designers they pick and Matthew is a given for H&M," said Helena Christensen. The line will be available May 14, but in the meantime, check out the Williamson-wearing attendees.

FABTV: The New House of Style

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Where were you Saturday at 3 p.m.? I was in a limo on my way to my bridesmaid debut, so I missed the premiere of the new House of Style on MTV. You can catch up on MTV's website, but here's the first (and best) clip, I think. Other segments include going inside model Jessica Stam's closet, Chanel Iman (HOS correspondent) explaining geek chic (kinda awkward), a Fab dinner party with Erin Fetherston, and a cameo by Justin Timberlake and his William Rast line. They also took us through the top 10 trends of Spring. They really packed a lot in. OK, nothing can ever be as good as the original with Cindy Crawford as host. Let's just get that out of the way. MTV is totally different today. The show partnered up with Teen Vogue, so it's very youthful and snap edited. I quite like the friendship bracelet DIY with Mary Kate Steinmiller and Charlotte Ronson. Host Bar Refaeli in the multiple bikinis is weird, but gorgeous nonetheless. Make your own deductions, but you have to admit it's fun and entertaining.

Reminder! Tune Into MTV's House of Style Tomorrow

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:00:08 -0700

House of Style fans, don't forget to tune into MTV tomorrow at 3 p.m. (EDT/PDT) for the revival of the popular '90s fashion TV show. MTV has partnered with Teen Vogue to bring you must-have items, celebrity fashion stories, designer DIYs, style secrets, and more. SI swimsuit cover model Bar Refaeli hosts, while Chanel Iman serves as correspondent. I'm stoked, are you?

Fab Ad: DKNY Jeans Spring '09

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 16:22:22 -0800

Those of you who are fans of street style blogs will probably dig the DKNY Jeans Spring '09 ads, shot by The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman. This is the photographer's first major campaign, but he's no stranger to snapping well-dressed people on the streets. Chanel Iman, Sean Lennon, and Daisy Lowe are all his model subjects. And just to make it extra authentic, the cross streets where the photos were taken in NYC are listed. This style of ad is a departure for DKNY Jeans, but completely relevant to today. What do you think? Are these ads authentic-looking or not so much?
