Carlos Falchi's Girl Graffitis His Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:00:08 -0700

Now that Carlos Falchi's daughter Kate is all done with school - she graduated Trinity University and Parsons The New School For Design - she's joining his team. First task? Helping her dad design the Graffiti Collection consisting of six bags and a few small leather goods. Retailing from $395 to $1,195, the line will make its debut on Sept. 10 at Bergdorf Goodman during Fashion’s Night Out. Twenty-five-year-old Kate's graffiti is a result of listening to music with pops, who once designed clothes for rockers like Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, and Jerry Garcia. I can't wait to see what father and daughter dream up next.

FABTV: Graffiti Rock Opener

FabSugar — Sat, 16 May 2009 11:33:33 -0700

Remember I mentioned I used to be a hip-hop princess in high school? Well, check it. Here is the intro scene of the TV show Graffiti Rock. It appears to be super cheese, but it had some hip-hop heavyweights like the New York City Breakers, Run DMC, Special K, and Kool Moo Dee in it so it was "crazy fresh." And it has a young Debi Mazar showing her hip-hop style and groovy moves. Gotta love funky fresh host Michael Holman. Keep your eyes on the hilarious background dancers, too. There are no words, except fresh, to describe it. Get ready to smile.

Trend Alert: Graffiti Rock

FabSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 08:50:22 -0700

Fun Fab fact: I wrote my high school senior paper on graffiti art. I was obsessed with taggers, break dancers, Beat Street, Style Wars - everything old school. I still find the roots of the hip-hop underworld to be fascinating, even if I don't dress like a boy anymore. And Kerry Washington proves you can nod to the genre in style in her fresh Narcisco Rodriguez graffiti-inspired sheath. It may not be neon and paint-splattered, but this is high fashion's take on the urban motif. "Don't try this on your dad's stereo - only under hip hop supervision . . ."

On Our Radar: Marc Jacobs Graffitis Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Marc Jacobs was so smitten by his 2001 collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse that he has created a capsule collection in his honor.

“I totally channeled Stephen,” Jacobs said of the Louis Vuitton line, which includes t-shirts, dresses, sunglasses, bracelets, a towel, and a sweatband.

Sprouse passed away in 2004, but his streetwise aesthetic and Day-Glo graffiti were highly popular in the '80s. Another "very Sprouse" item includes a custom-made skateboard and skateboard case which is going to be up for auction.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Graffiti Rock

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:00:08 -0700

Tagging the streets is illegal, but no one's going to lock us up for using graffiti to make our mark on fashion. ShopStyle user Rollo Tomassi did her part to bring flavor to the streets with her Graffiti Rockin' look. She found a Fab fashion editorial (left) and used it as inspiration to find equally colorful items. Tie dye, colorblock, neon, art work, and a plaid scarf all convey the street-sharp message.

Christian Louboutin Graffiti Pump: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 11:01:33 -0700

Christian Louboutin is considered a shoe god by so many celebs and wealthy women. But what I want to know is would they blindly wear anything the man designs? These Christian Louboutin Graffiti Pumps, $675, are not exactly elegant and refined like so many of Louboutin's designs. I personally think they're cool and perfect for times when you don't want to look like ladies-who-lunch. What do you think of them?

Look of the Day: Daring Diva

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Behold the outfit mschaub2 wore to chow with her friends. The daring diva stopped to take a photo in front of an artsy graffiti wall but all I can focus on is her ensemble. Because her dress is so bold, she decided to keep her accessories to a minimum. I like the way she thinks.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Forever 21
Shoes: Chinese Laundry
Bag: Vintage

Congrats to mschaub2!

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

Fab Ad: Intermix's Debut Ad Campaign

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Every stylephile knows Intermix, but that won't stop the retailer from upping its game with its first ever ad campaign. "Our customer has evolved and so should we," said an Intermix rep. The artistic image immediately grabs my attention and the model looks youthfully stylish wearing a pair of destructed jeans and a leather jacket. "The images are grittier than one might expect from Intermix, incorporating black-and-white photography with watercolor graffiti, to bring the edge in," said CEO Khajak Keledjian. Intermix's ads hit mags in July. The company also plans on painting the campaign on street walls around NYC. Fun! What are your thoughts?

Trend Alert: Glimmering Gold Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:50:00 -0700

I never tire of Kate Bosworth's utterly effortless fashion sense. Styling her glimmering gold bag with a simple graffiti rock tee and black skirt is genius. See, it's all about mixing the fancy with the funky, and that's how you do it with gold bags. It's the ideal amount of shine without going over the top; the perfect pop. You feel me?
