FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Paris Fashion Week is the creme de la creme of all fashion events. New York had its highlights; London wowed me with its revived schedule; and Milan is always beautiful, but Paris? Undeniably thrilling. Here's a roundup of my favorite looks, ranging from the spooky, kooky looks of Gareth Pugh to breathtaking frocks from Yves Saint Laurent. Peep McQueen's ethereal alien-like ensemble here. Keep on to see magical delights from Hermes, Valentino, Vivienne Westwood, Lanvin, and more.

Spring Peek: Geo Max

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:22 -0800

The opposing force of Luxotica is Geo Max. For the rare days I'm not feeling like an island girl and want to be serious, graphic prints, stripes, 3-D shapes, and polka dots will modernize my look. Most of these equations came in black and white, with the occasional blue, but one of my favorite Spring collections - Dries Van Noten - delivered it in marigold. The happy color made the geo seem less max, know what I mean? Notice the bold accessories though. Michael Kors also delivered his dots with whimsy, while on the flip side, Gareth Pugh took his dolls to space and back. Small doses, or to the max, choose your poison.

Attack of the LBD

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

How many LBDs do you own? And I bet they're all pretty different, right? Some are casual, some are fancy, some modern, some classic. It's safe to say a gal can never have enough LBDs. There's a reason it's mentioned on every fashion essential list. A testament to the versatility and diversity of the LBD is a recent influx of them on actresses, singers, and models. And yet, I'm not sick of it. I mean, you put Beyonce in a Gareth Pugh LBD and wicked metal glove, and it's a whole new vision. Take a look at all the incarnations of the LBD and I guarantee you won't get bored, either.

Fall Glimpse: Tales From the Dark Side

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:22 -0700

When there's salt, there's pepper. Hot and cold. Light and dark. You catch my drift. In fashion, we are always presented with another side of the coin. If Ice Ice Baby isn't your tune, try watching Tales From the Dark Side.

Some of these designers always cater to the dark lords of fashion - London's Gareth Pugh, Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci. A few just felt like dipping in murky waters for Fall: Julien Macdonald's dark glam rockin' looks and Gucci's fabulous folky getups. Meanwhile, Alexander Wang is proving to be the connoisseur of downtown (dis)taste. But no one told a tall tale like Ann Demeulemeester and her posh tatterdemalions (left).

Modeling Takes Beauty . . . and Mad Skills

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Who says models are all beauty and no brains? Okay, I can't vouch for their brains, but I can prove that they have some mad skills. Wearing what looks like a suffocating bag around your face and having to walk down a long runway takes precision. Many models trip, even without such an obstacle, so I give the models who walked the Junya Watanabe Fall '08 show in Paris some respect. It looks like Paris and London, namely the shows of Watanabe, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, and Gareth Pugh, proved to be the most taxing for the models. Then again, signing on to work with such avant-garde designers, they probably expected a bit (okay, a lot) of craziness. Could you do it?

London Fashion Week Spring 2008, Gareth Pugh: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 09:00:22 -0700

One crazy London Fashion Week catwalk show you can always count on comes straight from the hands and mind of Gareth Pugh.

The enfant terrible did it again, sending this look out with built-up shoulders that would make any NFL linebacker jealous! Between the long black fringe paired with minidress, the white socks and platform clog shoes, I always love seeing what spectacle Gareth has in store for us next. But let's get real for a moment. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this. Would you?

Look From Gareth Pugh Fall 2007: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 09:13:33 -0800

Wowsers! Gareth Pugh is a young designer who just showed his Fall 2007 collection in London and was profiled in Vogue this month; this look really makes me wonder why. While it is important for fashion to have its misfits and hooligans, hello John Galliano?, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint who the real tastemakers are. Pieces from Pugh's previous collections were commissioned by Kylie Minogue, and he's a hit with the London underground art scene, but what can one say about this plasticized look. I'll let you do the talking...Love it of hate it?
