Fab Ad: Uniqlo Heat Tech, Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Behold Uniqlo's Fall ad campaign for its Heat Tech collection - made from Milk Proteins, which traps heat. You ready for it? Lily Donaldson, Coco Rocha, Erin Wasson, Sasha Pivovarova, Karlie Kloss, Sessilee Lopez, and Tao Okamoto are all stylishly bundled up with snow-capped mountains in the background. I have a feeling what they're wearing, albeit totally cute, wouldn't prevent frostbite. No matter, the shots are captivating and the models are diverse. What do you think? Is this campaign making you melt or freeze?

Fab Ad: Liz Claiborne, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Liz Claiborne creative director Isaac Mizrahi has taken his girls back to the streets. For Spring it was Georgina Stojiljković in the city; for Fall it's Coco Rocha in the country. The Canadian model looks so royal, so mature in her long pleated plaid skirt and plaid shirt. I'm especially taken by the vibrant autumnal hues. And look: Coco's super-red hair sort of matches the roofs of the houses. Equally dazzling in color is the shot of Coco in a grocery store (below). What do you make of Liz Claiborne's Fall ads? If you fancy the plaid-happy clothes, shop them now.

Joy Gryson and MCM's Sizzling Hot Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Joy Gryson is one busy lady. On top of designing a namesake collection of bags and shoes, a line for Target, and a super-cute cheaper collection called Oliva Harris - named after her daughter - Gryson has just accepted another designing endeavor with luxury brand MCM. “It’s wonderful that MCM has a long history, so it was important to look back into MCM’s archives and tap into their travel heritage and aesthetic, to revitalize it and offer a modern interpretation,” said Gryson.

The new line, dubbed MCM New York, is made of three groups - the Sportivo, Notte, and Giorno - each embellished with sleek chains and pleating made in snakeskin and python. Check out Coco Rocha showing off its blue and black confection in the ad campaign. Hot. The line ranges from $695 to $2,800 and will be available at Saks Fifth Avenue and the MCM Plaza boutique in NYC at the end of August.

Fab Ad: Gap Design Editions, Summer '09

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I was on the fence when I first peeped Gap's latest Design Editions team-up, but seeing its ad campaign has changed my outlook. Shot by Craig McDean, the shots feature models Raquel Zimmerman, Anna Jagodzinska, Arlenis Sosa, and Coco Rocha wearing khaki collaborations from Alexander Wang, Vena Cava's Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai, and Albertus Swanepoel. I love the fun, no-fuss fashion angle and the clothes - which retail between $40 - $88 - look cute and wearable.

The plain background allows the cool khaki creations and models' bright faces to take the forefront. Also, notice how each designer is posing alongside his/her designs. That way, we know who designed each item. Effective yet simple. What do you think?

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last night was the 69th Annual American Ballet Theatre Spring gala at the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC. The elegant event saw equally chic attendees like Ivanka Trump, Iman, Claire Danes, Lindsay Price, and Coco Rocha. The go-to designer of the evening was Carolina Herrera and almost everyone had the blues - a gaggle of blue dresses draped gorgeous bods like Ivanka's. Click through then tell me: who's most Fab at the American Ballet gala?

I Love Your Shopstyle: Mermaid Illusions

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:50:00 -0700

You know what happens when you put together a mermaid and Coco Rocha? Perfection. I'm sure you can see why sachastar's underwater image has me suffering from major mermaid illusions. Her hues of pearl, ocean blue, and hot pink are spot on and I'm practically drooling over those Azzedine Alaia sandals. The only thing that's missing is me and my bikini. See, told you it was perfection.

Coco Rocha in Geometric Zac Posen: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:50:22 -0700

The always smiley Coco Rocha served as Zac Posen's date at the New Yorkers For Children Spring dinner dance last night. What a fun duo! Coco naturally wore one of Posen's creations, specifically a black and white geometric gown from the Spring '09 collection. Depending on who wears it, it can either be a highly theatrical dress or a lighthearted one. The final say is in your hands, so what do you think - yay or nay?

Fab Flash: Coco Rocha, E! News Correspondent

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:00:08 -0800

We're used to seeing Coco Rocha's lovely red locks swaying down the runway at New York Fashion Week, but this time around, don't be surprised to see the model conducting backstage interviews with designers, celebrities, and models. Rocha has been enlisted by E! News to keep us entertained with behind-the-scenes goodies at Fashion Week. "Last night I was in the front row of Miss Sixty. We kept trying to make the girls laugh," said Rocha. "It worked really well." Don't fret Coco fans; the redhead will also be making an appearance on the catwalk.
