Trend Alert: Collar Necklaces

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Spice up your Holiday ensemble with a collar necklace. This newfound adornment is a happy medium between the old school choker and the classic necklace. It takes form in a wide array of materials ranging from leather and studs to sparkly gems. These necklaces give off a modern Cleopatra aura and make for the perfect statement piece. I wonder if it'll grant me her magical man powers as well . . .

Kanye West arrived with girlfriend Amber Rose on his arm. The model is known for wearing in-your-face duds and tonight is no exception. She looks like a walking snake in her skin-tight snake-print bodysuit. Art deco earrings, a gold circle collar necklace, and a large ring are her bold accessories of choice. Are you into it?

Celebrity Style: Marisa Tomei

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Marisa Tomei was snapped looking incredibly chic on her way to dinner at STK restaurant in LA. Her red trench - collar slightly popped - textured black pants, and peep-toe black patent booties are perfect together. The gunmetal clutch tucked under her arm and gold necklace provide shine without stealing the show. But really, Marisa's look is a testament to how a trench, especially in a bold color, can instantly jazz up any look. Now we know the actress's thoughts on red.

Fall Glimpse: Neck Fest

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

If Spring dabbled in statement necklaces, Fall was a full-on neck fest. Nay a dainty necklace here, a dainty necklace there; yay layers of chunky chains (Givenchy), costumey rhinestones (Balenciaga), jagged Swarovski crystals (Burberry), mixed media (Lanvin), and antique Indian masterpieces (McQueen).

The most innovative was perhaps Dries Van Noten (left), who fashioned his super-colorful, and no doubt super-heavy, neck pieces out of other jewelry items: ethnic bangles. Add a fur collar atop a stellar collection, and this neck fest would make any vampire pounce.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

When I said wearing Phillip Lim to his show made me feel confident, it was largely because his Spring offerings are abundantly amazing. Lim's eclecticism came out with an array of functional separates, flirty frocks, kooky accessories and experimental flourishes. Lim provided us a quote from musician Pedro Soler, "That very night, while removing his lavish costume, the bullfighter looked at his past and felt grateful for this suit that calls for a noble body and soul." Lim started the show with a smart white Spanish-esque jacket, but the clothes moved into a soulful and beautiful direction.Sharp pleats, ruffles and tailoring created a canvas for nuances such as big swingy fringe, sequins and jeweled collars. Little jackets, one in leather, were enticing. The zippered ruffled items were trippy, in a very good way. Metallic shoes, polka dot bags and Christmas bowed belts poked fun at fashion. My favorite look was this wavy sequin cropped top, with artsy necklace and loose utility pants (middle) - this one caught Leighton Meester front row center's eye, too. Great minds think alike.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Viktor & Rolf

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:30:22 -0700

After last season, when models walked out attached to their own personal lighting apparatuses, I was curious to see what gimmick Viktor & Rolf would come up with next.

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are romancing the harlequin for Spring: Pierrot collars, pom-poms, diamond shapes, and violins were choice motifs. The pretty palette was Chanel-inspired: black, white, blushing pink and peach. There were a couple trademark fashion-as-surrealist-art outfits - the ruffled pink coat which framed the model's face with a white rosette and pink violin, for instance.

But as the models emerged from a gaping mouth, it was clear that Viktor & Rolf was going more commercial. Wearable silk minidresses with lace collars and multiple beautiful tiered gowns were red carpet-ready. Even the violin theme was toned down to a lace appliqué or a necklace. Subtle Viktor & Rolf, but the Amsterdam-based fashion brand still astounds.

Spring 2008 Couture: Armani Privé

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 04:00:22 -0800

Yet again, Mr. Giorgio Armani presented a drama-filled collection that his best costumer, Cate Blanchett, can easily fall in love with.

Armani Privé came in the form of oversized ruffles, poufy bubble hems, large stand-up collars, fuzzy feathers, overly tiered skirts, and lots of embellishments. And though the designer isn't usually one to overdo accessories, this collection was an exception. Chunky bangles, big clutches, beaded necklaces, and jeweled belts added to the theatrics of the show. I'm looking forward to seeing the Armani Privé runway translated onto the red carpet.
