FabSugar — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:11:22 -0700

Vanessa Hudgens took the opportunity to show everyone her fashion sense while on her worldwide promotion of High School Musical 3. There's no doubt the young actress exudes a fun attitude on the red carpet. Her variety of frocks ranged from printed maxis to leg baring hemlines. I like how Vanessa took risks with different looks and styles. A budding fashionista? Time will tell, but for now, let me know which High School Musical look was your favorite.

The High School Musical gang is out promoting their third flick. At the UK premiere, Vanessa Hudgens stole the spotlight in a fun polka-dot Simone dress, Catherine Malandrino motorcycle jacket, and Jimmy Choo double-strap pumps. You would think the combination of leather, silk, satin, and patent would clash but, no, it all comes together quite flawlessly.

Celebrity Style: Ashley Tisdale

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:00:22 -0700

I'm starting to develop a teeny bopper girl crush on Ashley Tisdale. What can I say? The High School Musical star is quite a little cutie in her trendy LA warm-weather looks. Earlier, she perfectly exemplified the beauty of an elongated cardi. She's wearing some favorites here: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, fedora, a macho watch, Louis Vuitton bag, Havaianas flip-flops. But what sets this apart is the colored bra underneath her all-white ensemble, which is a styling technique I personally partake in.

Behind the Seams: Simon Doonan Barneys Book Signing

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Totals. Totally. Totes. Funny words from fashion's funny man, and Barneys creative director, Simon Doonan. Fab was lucky enough to catch Mr. Doonan on a sunshiny day promoting his new book Eccentric Glamour at the Barneys store in San Francisco. As you can see, he practices what he preaches wearing a Moschino jacket yelling the words "Good Taste Doesn't Exist" and a tie that whispers "Fashion is full of chic!" As Simon puts it, "These are all Franco Moschino-isms. He was a genius and a very innovative guy. Not bad for English as a second language." Enough said.

Simon was very calm, friendly, and, of course, witty, and was happy to spill some beans for yours truly. I left the store feeling super inspired to wear my wackiest things and throw all regularity to the wind. I guess Simon has that effect on people.

What jump started this book?

I was horrified by these two trends. One was the slut trend and one was the gun-shy celebrity. So between the super-conservative celebs, who were just wearing prom gowns, and the super-slutty woman, the regular gal on the street wasn't getting any inspiration. The answer is eccentricity. Glamour and eccentricity. It's about looking inside and not looking like everyone else. It's against conformity. If everyone else has it, you don't want it. When people tend to look the same, the It bag, the fake hair, the fake tan - it can make everyone look very similar. It's about working on your own look.

Who are some designers you have your eye on?

I think Phillip Lim is incredibly talented. The Rodarte girls are great. They've gone from being very avant-garde to a place where they're making stuff people cannot just admire but wear. Alexander Wang, the usual suspects. I love Scott Sternberg who does Band of Outsiders - I wear a lot of his clothes myself.

My favorite book of yours is Wacky Chicks. If you were to do a sequel, are there any women you would add to your list?

I would love to do Wacky Chicks Two. That book is now over five years old and a lot of the women in it are median ages, in their 40s and 50s, so there's a whole new generation of wacksters. Amy Winehouse. I strongly disagree with her drug taking - I mean it's insane - but when I was that age I was a mess, too. I think she's triggering a whole movement of eccentricity where people don't want to look like everyone else. She says it's groovy to look completely different and insane; she pulled that beehive out of no where and has her own look. She should be applauded. Because everyone was getting the Kelly Clarkson makeover, everyone ended up looking like pop princesses. What's that about?

That wasn't what we were used to in music. We're used to Annie Lennox, Grace Jones, Siouxsie Sioux - provocative girls who all look different from each other.

Debbie Harry!

Yes! Hello?!

Was there anyone on the Oscars red carpet that stood out to you?

Tilda Swinton - she's interviewed in my book. Tilda's genius. I think it's sad that people can't step back and be like: well, that isn't my cup of tea. That whole idea of the fashion police has affected everybody, people have become hypercritical, it's very high school. Everyone's in a tissy about it, it's ridiculous. Instead of just saying, why not?

FABTV: A-ha "Take On Me"

FabSugar — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 15:00:22 -0800

Obviously I've got a thing for highly stylized old school music videos. But this video stands apart from the rest. Not only is the song super catchy - definitely one for a road trip - but the video was way ahead of its time. It was released in 1985 and took the world by storm. Yes, it is uber-80s, but it's this style of the '80s that made the decade one of excess and electricity. The penciled comic book style along with the coolness, and cuteness, of the Norwegian band, was a winning combination - it won in six categories at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards. You've heard it a hundred times, so why not once more?

Who Wore It Better? Juicy Couture Chiffon Ruffle Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Juicy Couture has stepped up its game with pretty and ultra-feminine dresses. Celebrities have been all over them, and Paris Hilton and Monique Coleman are no exceptions. Paris wore her Juicy Couture Chiffon Ruffle Dress while out to dinner with her parents, and Monique sported it at the High School Musical DVD release party. Both classy and girlie, but who do you think wore it better?

Fabcon: Sofia Coppola

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 03:00:22 -0700

Sofia Coppola's style can best be described as unfussy, cool and classic. We are talking about one of Marc Jacob's muses here (lucky!). While one may point out she wears a lot of black, 'tis true, but so do other icons such as Kate Moss and Diana Vreeland. Black is one of the truest colors of fashion, and as every woman knows, it's slimming too. But I just love it when Sofia does play with color; it's usually in the form of bolds such as red or pink, or understated with off-white.

The daughter of legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia is talented in other areas than fashion. She is an accomplished film director, actress, producer and Academy Award-winning screenwriter. I would also like to point out that she is the first American woman and third woman in history to be nominated for an Academy Award for Directing.

Sofia is just so cool. She is considered a pop culture icon within the indie music and film communities, in Paris and Tokyo especially. It figures she would have fashion sense - as a child she stayed in the wardrobe department of her father's films, and did you know that in high school, she interned with Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel? As well, in 1998 she co-founded the clothing line Milkfed in Japan with friend Stephanie Hayman and Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon. I so remember Milkfed! It was very Beastie girlie - it was sold alongside the Beastie Boys clothing line X-Large back in the day.

While The Virgin Suicides continues to be my favorite film by Sofia, it's just so beautifully melancholy, Marie Antoinette also provided some serious eye, and ear, candy. What's next for Sofia? I can't wait to see.
