Elie Tahari Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:18:32 PST

Elie Tahari was all about "real women" for Fall '12, and to further prove that point, he enlisted his friends, family, and staff to model the collection. Amongst the casual, party-like setting - his "models" were spotted sipping champagne and even cradling a baby - Tahari showcased a jewel-toned mix of separates and some luxe accessories. Jackets and blazers were refreshed with tonal pairings, trousers ranged from slim to wide-legged, and smart sheath dresses were elevated with laser cutouts. Meanwhile, an array of leather and fur touches injected a modernized touch across the board. Highlights included a purple asymmetrical leather jacket paired with a cobalt silk top and cropped trousers, and a tonal colorblocked blazer. More details from the collection below.

Trends: Colored fur, peplum.
Colors: Blue, navy, purple, black, fuchsia.
Key Look: The purple asymmetrical leather jacket and fur accessories.
Accessories: Ankle boots, patent pumps, leather opera gloves, fur clutches.
Who Would Wear It: Everyday working women looking to add a chic touch to their look.

Pre-Fashion Week Profile: Elie Tahari Talks Guilty Pleasures and Favorite Songs, Plus See an Exclusive Sketch!

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:00:08 PDT

As we prepare ourselves - and our wardrobes - for New York Fashion Week, designers are in final preparations to present their Spring 2012 collections, and that final stretch can be wildly chaotic. We interrupted the madness long enough to get the skinny on designers' guilty pleasures, what they love and hate most about Fashion Week, current favorite songs, and more. First up: Elie Tahari, the man known for creating simultaneously modern and elegant confections worn by Hollywood hotties such as Leighton Meester and Emmy Rossum.

Guilty pleasures during Fashion Week: I try to take the morning for myself, because once I get to work it never stops . . .
Top songs in constant rotation: Sexy love songs and Alicia Keys's “Empire State of Mind”
Favorite thing about Fashion Week in September: I love the excitement, you can feel it all over the city and except for the occasional hurricane - the weather is usually amazing. In September it’s like starting all over . . . “back to school.”
Most hated thing about Fashion Week: I don’t like NYC traffic!

Check out another sketch from his Spring '12 collection, plus Elie's FNO plans, and how he's celebrating the end of Fashion Week.

Celeb Style: Whitney Port

Hannah Weil — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:52:04 PDT

Whitney Port stepped out for Nylon's anniversary fete channeling the girlie-gone-tough vibe. We love the look for its playful approach to night-out wear, mixing a tulle miniskirt ($277, originally $395) and a biker-chic leather jacket ($110). To add to the eclectic mix, Whitney styles it up with a sheer floral-print tee and a pair of bow-adorned pumps. Looking for something equally unexpected-cool to try on for the weekend?

Celeb Style: Nicky Hilton

If you're looking for a chic way to outfit your denim jacket for Spring, Nicky Hilton offers up the perfect example. Looking equal parts polished and on-trend, she stepped out for a Chanel party in LA in fresh stripes and a draped miniskirt, topped with a shrunken denim jacket ($85). To finish, a pair of ladylike pumps ($298) and a classic Birkin bag balance the jacket's casual vibe. Just shop our picks above to achieve a look that's similarly cool and put-together.

Sundance Style: Kate Bosworth

If cold weather typically translates to a lack of wardrobe innovation, you might want to study up on Kate Bosworth's look. This Sundance ensemble is all about mixing the best of your closet, like your favorite little dress, with Winter weather-proof layers. Just throw on a pretty, easy dress ($138) in a bright hue and add tights, boots ($74, originally $99), and a cozy coat. Finish it off with a cute pair of earmuffs and a tote you love, like Kate's Alexander Wang Rocco bag, for a look that doesn't compromise style for comfort.

Trend Alert: Short Leash

Hannah Weil — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 09:00:05 PDT

Chain-strap bags are ladylike and lovely, of course. But, should you tire of the shoulder-strap, slinging the bag messenger style as Diane Kruger does tones down the posh for a more casual, street-ready style. It's a short leash look that makes a fashionable juxtaposition between your chic little accessories and your 'laxed style. It really brings your purse front and center. And then the only other thing you need to channel the trend is to change up your purse-posture.

Celeb Style: Keira Knightley

Hannah Weil — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 12:00:05 PDT

Keira Knightley gave her frilly Nina Ricci LWD a Fall makeover when Never Let Me Go premiered at the London Film Festival. Just a blazer ($78) and a pair of black suede pumps ($89) give the lacy dress a sophisticated, Autumn-perfect feel - simply assembled, simply stunning. Click the items above to shop a similar style.

Double It! Shop Our Fab Double-Breasted Blazer Picks For Fall

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:00:06 PDT

Not that our boyfriend blazers are getting old, but for Fall we'd like to double your fashion pleasure. Double-breasted blazers have a tad more in the way of details - oversize or off-color buttons that inject just a little more fun. If we had to choose, we like them best in subtle heather grays, navy, and camel; a little less Working Girl, a little more modern-sophisticated with a subtle color palette. My favorite of the bunch: this J.Crew Marled Thandie Blazer ($158). Click the items above to shop!

Celeb Style: Kate Beckinsale

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:02:16 PDT

Kate Beckinsale sure knows how to stop traffic - check her out spending a stylish afternoon in Santa Monica with her family. Her denim cutoff shorts and clogs are trendy, but a simple nude silk tank brings them back down to earth. Oversized shades, a lariat necklace, a gold cuff, and a tan bag complete her trendy cute vibe. Love her look? Re-create it below.
