Fab Flash: "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Banned in China

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 04:00:22 -0700

The latest in the Anya Hindmarch "I'm not a Plastic Bag" saga: the tote has been banned in China after several women were trampled yesterday in Hong Kong trying get ahold of the canvas tote.

Fakes are already beginning to proliferate; one Beijing-based dealer told The Times of London he expects to have almost 1,000 bags of the same size, weight and fabric as the real Anya Hindmarch tote by the weekend. Oh the craziness this bag has caused!

China Fashion Week Spring '10 is underway in Beijing, and so far, crazy headpieces rule. They were made of any and all of the following: safety pins, flowers, studs, tulle, feathers, and leather. Would you wear this severe safety-pin arrangement on your head?! Lady Gaga would. Proceed with caution: headpieces and masks look crazier than they sound.

Fab Flash: The House of Dior Karma

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

There's been a lot of chatter about Sharon Stone's insensitive remarks regarding the massive earthquake that recently struck China. I believe the actress said something along the lines of, "They're not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then the earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma?" Mind you she said this at the Cannes Film Festival - not very classy, indeed.

Well Sharon, karma's a bitch and her China Dior ads have been pulled as a result. As well, the house of Dior is distancing itself from the actress, who has since apologized. Her words: “In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize,” Stone said. It is still to be determined if the actress will continue to represent the house.

Fabulous. Can you imagine having attended last week's Fendi runway show on the Great Wall of China? I really can't imagine how awe-inspiring it must have been, so we'll have to go by what Kate Bosworth and Thandie Newton thought. China's Great Wall was lit up on Friday with its first ever big-name fashion show.

In this video you see an amazing panoramic view from the Wall and an oh-so-chic posse of fashionistas led by Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Then, the show, which was constructed on a raised platform on a restored part of the Wall. With Euro-Trance music in the background, we witness a colorful mix of furs and silks complete with awesome belts and the re-introduction of Fendi's signature "Baguettes." In the end, bows by Silvia Fendi and the mastermind Karl Lagerfeld. Again, fabulous.

Hello Nasty: Jewelry Made Out of . . . Human Teeth and Hair!

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

People fashion some crazy things, and human teeth and hair jewelry are the latest materials being used. But Australian Polly van der Glas has some fans - she received the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award for her work. All sterling silver pieces are hand-made in Melbourne and the designer is currently taking donations for teeth, since they're hard to come by. But don't fret, the molars are sterilized and the hair is locally donated or sourced from India or China. Does that put your mind at ease? If you can stomach it, proceed.

Fab Flash: Gemma Ward the Inaugural Face of Vogue India

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 08:01:33 -0700

Gemma Ward is one lucky lady! She not only got to appear on the inaugural cover of Vogue China two years ago (below), but she just recently shot the cover of the debut issue of Vogue India, which is expected to appear in September. I love Gemma, but I think it is interesting that they chose her for the first covers of both the Chinese and Indian Vogues. What do you all think?
