2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week Fab Roundup!

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Even under a scrunched time line, Milan Fashion Week stunned with numerous beautiful collections. In this roundup, I highlight some of my favorite designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Fendi, and Armani, to name a few. I admit, Dolce & Gabbana's collection was my favorite, but that's not stopping me from showing you Bottega's soft and swirly frock, Gucci's cut-out wonder, and Emilio Pucci's magical prints. I can't seem to resist this tropical bohemian masterpiece from Etro. Simply a-mazing.

Whose Bride Wars Style Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:12:22 -0800

I like this little fashion trick Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are playing on us. On the European red carpet for Bride Wars, Anne wore a light hued Gianfranco Ferre dress, while Kate wore a dark Louis Vuitton one. Then in the garden photo shoot, Kate wore a light outfit, while Anne went dark. Is it night and day? Salt and pepper? At the Berlin premiere, both wore all black. These ladies have certainly stepped up their game, but whose Bride Wars style is most Fab?

Golden Globe Awards: Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere opted for a grape Gianfranco Ferre beaded column gown tonight. The jeweled bodice is what takes it from normal to special. She finished it off with small diamond drop earrings, a diamond ring, and a metallic clutch. Are you feeling this?

Fab Ad: Gianfranco Ferre Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I've got a serious soft spot for beautiful people - ahem, Julia Stegner, Malgosia and Javier de Miguel - lounging around in gorgeous clothes surrounded by moody shadows. Remember Valentino's Robert Palmer-esque Fall ads? Loved 'em. With a new design team on tap, Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi of 6267, I expect we'll be seeing more fabulousness from this Italian fashion house. Don't you wish you could just lounge around with these folks? All the limbs, flowing hair, dark clothes and strong accessories are super seductive. The images were supposed to convey a '40s scenario, but I see something set more in the power-fueled '80s. Do you want to join this lounge party?

Trend Alert: Silk Utilitarian

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Silk has a new look; it's more relaxed but hardened with tough details. This new silk utilitarian twist is more wearable and comfortable. Silk tops, jumpers, pants, and accessories have been updated with drawstrings, zippers and cargo pockets to lend a simultaneously chic and casual look. Gianfranco Ferre (left) went casual-lux with this zippered grape silk mechanic pantsuit. Now, buying silk can be an investment so I provided a couple silk-like items for you to wear this slick trend without stretching your wallet. As always, have fun . . .

Some may be wary, some may be giddy for this trend that surfaced last Spring, but is in full effect now. Whether you choose to wear one in a more-relaxed fashion or go glam, it's a fashion risk I encourage you to take. Trendy? Maybe. But who can deny the timeless allure of a denim jumpsuit? So '70s, so chic, so fun!

He was noted for being one of the designers who generated the boom in Italian fashion from the eighties into the nineties. Ferré's architectural silhouettes were favored by the likes of Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah, Sophia Loren, and Princess Diana. May he rest in peace. Source
