DKNY Gets the Gossip Girl Touch

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 07:29:23 PDT

Stockings used to be a somewhat boring Winter necessity - until Gossip Girl came around. Thanks to Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, both of whom were spotted wearing pretty hues and textures on the popular fashion-heavy show, legwear has become a cool outlet to show off your sleek styling skills. Perhaps that's why DKNY just announced a collaboration with Eric Daman, costume designer of Gossip Girl, to design a legwear capsule collection for Fall. “I feel like I grew up with legwear in the '70s and '80s, and it’s great to see legwear being part of a woman’s ensemble, a defining piece of women’s ready-to-wear, said Daman. . . . “Hosiery is quite sexy. What we try to do in Gossip Girl is lots of texture. It makes the characters come alive . . . it gives a character like Blair life when she’s wearing a pencil skirt with distressed rib tights. It gives her look something special.”

Prices and more details on the collection.

Are You Interested in Lindsay Lohan's New Hosiery Line?

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:00:22 PDT

Despite all her recent drama, Lindsay Lohan is staying business-minded. The celebrity designer and self-tan guru has announced the addition of a new hosiery line to her 6126 leggings line. “Tights are another staple, just like leggings,” said Lohan, seen left wearing a pair from the line. “For girls that don’t want to wear socks with their leggings, tights are a natural alternative. They are sexy and a classic staple.” Lindsay's tights, wholesaling at $18, include a body shaping feature and will come in matte, shiny, and nude finishes. Are you at all interested?

Fab Flash: Doo-Ri Shows Off Her Bejeweled Legwear

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Doo-Ri Chung has learned the right pair of tights can instantly transform an outfit. After receiving high accolades for the leggings shown in her Fall collection, seen left, Doo-Ri has decided to launch a hosiery line.

“I would love to use studs or bring something in that could be smooth on the surface,” said Chung. “Legwear is so important because women today see themselves in complete looks, and with how big accessories have become, they see how models are on the runway and that’s how they want to get dressed.”

The Doo.Ri leggings collection will make its debut in the Fall. If her hosiery does well, Chung will consider creating a more extensive line for next Spring.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Night at the Speakeasy

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:00:22 PST

My friends and I are constantly looking for fun places to experience. Last weekend, we headed to the local speakeasy. Unlike typical bars, this place took us back in time with its moody '20s theme. We wanted to blend in with the crowd, so I asked you to help me find a fun outfit that matches the era. Fringe would be fun!

I started you off with this White House Felt Cloche ($48) because it's classic and cool. Let's see what you all came up with.

Look #1, created by hil34, has all the right touches. The red tights and metallic shoes give her outfit extra sparkle.

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: Embrace Lace

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Like nude, lace has an elderly connotation. Alas, designer Miuccia Prada hated the fabric, so she decided to take on the big challenge of forming her entire Fall collection out of it. Genius. And let me assure you, this isn't your grandma's lace.

A brilliant start is incorporating lace into your wardrobe via legwear, like these Fogal Lace Tights ($47). Imagine what a welcome change they could provide to an entirely black ensemble. But don't stop at tights, embrace lace all over. Tops, dresses, skirts, shoes - the lacier the better!
