FABTV: The Cure "Lullaby"

FabSugar — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 07:12:22 -0800

No video beats Michael Jackson's Thriller when it comes to Halloween time, and time in general - it is an eternal masterpiece. But I did my best to dig up another spooky vid. Spooky bands . . . hmmm, The Cure! No one is the goth master like Robert Smith and his teased black hair, chalky skin, and trembling voice. This is my favorite Cure song, though I kinda hate the video - it has a spider theme and I hate spiders. So I apologize if you do too and are watching this with a Halloween hangover. Alas, it's an ill song, where Smith gets invaded by an elusive Spiderman character. Cobwebs and creepy crawlers abound - hope you had a Fab Halloween!

Who Wore It Better? Goth Givenchy

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Here we have two girls gone goth. By now we've seen Madonna in her Givenchy goth ensemble from the Fall collection a couple times. But how does she look compared to Jennifer Lopez, who's currently vacationing with hubby Marc? While Madonna kept hers authentic with over-the-knee boots and a fur coat, Jennifer glamorized her version with circle earrings and gold jeweled sandals. Leave it to Lopez to glam up goth! Madonna's look is more runway ready, while Jennifer's is club appropriate. Whose take is better? Side note: I tried on that hot Givenchy necklace, but it's a backache waiting to happen.

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).

Look of the Day: Goth Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Junepaski looks like a cool goth girl in her DIY ensemble. If I had skills like her, I wouldn't spend a dime on buying clothes. Check out how she paired her black separates with a white top for contrast - smart. In the accessorizing department, she wore Docs to play up the grunge while layered necklaces add a girly touch.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: DIY
Dress: DIY
Pants: DIY
Boots: Doc Martens
Necklaces: Forever21
Bag: Charles & Keith

Congrats to junepaski!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Girls on Film: Luis Monteiro Shoots Goth in Greece, Tatler

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I'm not familiar with the photographer Luis Monteiro or this mysterious model the credits call "JP." But I am familiar with Greece and the good life it brings. The high contrast of the goth garb and the blue-skied, white-housed atmosphere is unexpected. The Greece I know is full of sundresses and sunnies; I like this darker side of the Mediterranean mecca. Makes me want to reconsider my wardrobe when I head back to the land of tzatziki . . . .

Kova & T Lace Bell Bottoms: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

OK, I love lace, I love bell bottoms, but put the two together, and you get these Kova & T Lace Bell Bottoms ($165). I've already spotted a couple of hipster gals sporting this look, but I'm still on the fence. They remind me of Cher - not in a good way - and I can't get over the whole goth vibe. On the flip side, they might look groovy with a vest and platforms - what say you?

John Wind Goth Glamour Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 04:22:22 -0700

Halloween is right around the corner so naturally I have nothing but spooky thoughts in my mind. Hence why I did a double take for this John Wind Goth Glamour Necklace ($249). I love its antique feel and can see myself wearing it long after October 31. Can you?

Fab Ad: Alexander McQueen, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

When you are known to be one of the most theatrical designers, you have a reputation to live up to. While we anxiously await Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 video extravaganza, I found his Fall ads. If you recall, his collection was brimming with goth glam houndstooth and sculptural shapes - it was nothing short of magnificent. I guess it's hard to top the clothes, so McQueen opted for a broken mirror background. The multiple image effect is sometimes cool, I guess I just expected more from Britain's bad boy. Are you impressed?
