Fab Finger Discount: Report Boston Booties

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Folds and pleats aren't restricted to handbags, you know. They've made their way onto Fall's gorgeous footwear, like this Report Boston Bootie ($92, originally $115), which comes in black and brown. I'm envisioning wearing the brown ones with light gray skinny jeans scrunched up, an oversize gray sweater, and layered jewelry. That way, the booties can do all the wowing.

The Bag to Have: Bally Leather Zip Pocket Slouch Bag

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Pleated and folded handbags are popping up all over, and they're kicking the butts of structured purses. I predict this Bally Leather Zip Pocket Slouch Bag ($1,195), which also comes in nude, is going to be the next coveted accessory. Look at it; doesn't it scream the bag to have? I can see Charlize and Gwyneth all over it. It has all the right components - it's buttery, has slick asymmetrical zippers, a braided-slash-chain handle, and the coolest horizontal fold. And, it's Brian Atwood-designed, swoon.

Welcoming Karl With Folded Arms

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Folded arms are usually associated with nonchalance and/or moodiness.

While it was somewhat surprising at first glance, it's not entirely shocking that Karl Lagerfeld had the models for his Fall '08 collection walk down the runway with folded arms. It's ironic that the robot-like designer was the one to encourage human qualities in his models.

You will see cue cards backstage telling models to smile and have fun, but you rarely see them mentioning arm movements. It's about time they put those long limbs to use! Karl's girls - Anja Rubik (right), Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Raquel Zimmermann, Ali Stephens, and Karlie Kloss - all did just that and brought some real-life emotions to the otherwise stiff clothes. So is folding arms a new catwalking trend? I guess we'll have to wait and see . . .

Simply Fab: Gryson Fold Down Boot

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:30:22 -0700

Paying nearly a whole paycheck for a pair of boots may seem blasphemous to some. But what if I told you paying $825 for Gryson's Fold Down Boot will get you more than what you bargained for?

Unlike all boots out there, this one acts as four pairs. It can be worn at the knee, ankle, calf or scrunched - simply fold the boot up or down to your desired height. Colors include cerise (pictured), mushroom, deep brown, and black. A four-in-one boot is so much more fun (and worth the money) than one!

Trend Alert: Fold-Over Handbags

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Quick change artists will be attracted to the fashionable functionality of fold-over handbags. One minute it's a tote, the next it's a clutch, then it's a boho. A relative of the convertible bag, design trickery like this makes the high price tag seem not so. Or is that just me rationalizing fashion again?

Trend Alert: Fold-Over Wedges

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

This boot hybrid is hard to come across - if you ever find a cool pair I suggest you swoop them up. Wedge boots are definitely a safer boot in harsh weather conditions; they are more grounded and resilient.

If you're Nicole Richie, you have super cool fold-over wedges to help fend off weather goblins. We speculate that hers are Martin Margiela, but they could even be Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit circa 2006. You think? Either way, while I don't recommend suede in the rain, most of these come in the supple skin. Super clean white scarf and men's fedora optional, but recommended.

Trend Alert: A Lesson in Origami

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:20:22 -0700

Origami is rad. The delicate folds, the craftiness, and the pretty paper all make for a pretty cool hobby. Origami folds have crept onto clothes and I think it's a refreshing treatment after months of ruffles and ruching. These little puckers take a garment from plain to artsy, in just a little tuck. Want a real lesson in origami? Check out Christian Dior's Fall collection.

The Look For Less: Isabel Marant Stud Buckle Boot

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Gush, double gush. I can't get enough of Isabel Marant's Fall '09 show. Each and every single look, down to the graduated cone footwear, is amazing. Speaking of footwear, how cool are the stud buckle boots Lily Donaldson is wearing? They're slightly trendy, yes, but subtle enough to wear for a while. Unfortunately, like every other Marant piece, they're out of my price range. Luckily, Jeffrey Campbell has come out with an identical pair without the killer price tag.

This Jeffrey Campbell Black Suede Boot ($165) is as close as any boot is going to get to the Isabel Marant version. It has the right studs, the buckle, the fold over detail, and a similar heel shape. Now all you need are Marant-inspired clothes and you're perfect.

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Ruching, puckering, layering, and folding: The 2009 Golden Globes red carpet had dramatic folds and pleats aplenty. Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, January Jones, and America Ferrera were all in on it, pulling the look off in varying shapes and colors. And let's not forget Eva Mendes - one of my favorites - whose dazzling white Christian Dior gown was elegant in its originality. Care to fall into the fold? Please, proceed. Source
