A Fabby Halloween: The Flintstones

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

The Flintstones would be so proud to see how their Stone Age fashions have influenced some of fashion's best. Peep Jeremy Scott's Spring '10 collection to see what I'm talking about. The quirky designer featured an awe-inspiring line based off the hit '60s cartoon complete with bone barrettes, bright colors, and animal prints. No doubt, Wilma and Betty would be super stoked to wear his kitschy confections. Thankfully, you don't have to buy designer to achieve the Flintstones' archaic look. Seek animal prints, faux-fur vests, and natural chunky jewelry for sexy Stone Age appeal - Wilmaaaaa!

Since 2005, ShopTwoSee.com has been providing Londoners with quirky clothing and accessories by the likes of Preen, Jeremy Scott, Dexter Wong, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Hannah Martin, and more. If you haven't heard of at least two of those designers, why not start getting to know them here? Locals can visit the brick-and-mortar store, but others have to shop online. If you gravitate toward off-kilter creations, take a look inside. You'll find bags, belts, dresses, and jewels, some of them on sale. I'm crushing on this Jean-Pierre Braganza Linen Biker Jacket ($414, originally $550).

Linda Farrow Jeremy Scott Sunglasses: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Jeremy Scott prides himself on being far out, and these Linda Farrow Jeremy Scott Sunglasses ($478) definitely fit the bill. They look like Nicole and Mary-Kate's quirky Chanel sunglasses, except taken a step further. What do you think, do they take it too far?

Ksubi High-Waisted Checkerboard Skinny Jeans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Like Vegemite, these Ksubi High-Waisted Checkerboard Skinny Jeans ($325), might take an acquired taste.

Coveted Australian line, Ksubi, has joined forces with style icon Jeremy Scott in creating the highly anticipated Jeremy Loves Ksubi collection. The checkerboard print is a definite reflection of Jeremy's eccentric and far-out sense of style. These checkerboard jeans are no exception - do you think checkers should stay on the board and not our legs?

The Look For Less: Lindsay Lohan

Back in October, I witnessed Jeremy Scott's cheeky Spring '08 collection at LA Fashion Week. Lindsay Lohan, pictured with good friend Jeremy, wore his traffic-sign mini skirt to the party for her Paper magazine cover. It's such a relief to see LL in something other than leggings! Here, she looks mature and funky at the same time . . . an ideal combo she should try more often.

LA Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Jeremy Scott

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Jeremy Scott is never one to shy away from bold and racy designs and his Spring 2008 collection was no exception. Though there was no ass-slapping between models like there has been in his past shows, there was lots of drama. Namely, all the female models walked out with large garbage can hats.

Backstage, watching them get ready before the show, I wondered why they had dirt-like makeup on their faces, legs and arms. Upon show time, it all came together: the concept was construction chic. Imagine Grace Kelly was a sewer employee, collected from the dirty work conditions and thrown onto a runway. She'd still be glamorous and gorgeous but with some dirt around the edges.

The silhouettes were nothing new but the prints were avant-garde and edgy. They included street signs, boot prints, pipes, rulers and tools. The inspirational aspect was that these tough prints were plastered on rather feminine dresses, blouses and skirts. The most unwearable piece was a black bubble tiered dress made of what looked like plastic; it rivaled the famous Lanvin silhouettes.

What was your inspiration for this show?
I was really inspired by construction workers, trash cans, back alleys, junkyards, road signs, work boots; all these brute, masculine images. All the things that are overlooked. I wanted to take all these elements and make something beautiful out of them.

Who would you say is the Jeremy Scott girl?
I would say that Cory Kennedy is the Jeremy Scott girl. She's definitely one of my muses. She keeps me on my toes.

What's a staple every woman should have in her wardrobe?
I great pair of high heels.

What are your favorite pieces from the collection?
It's like picking between babies! I like the boot stomp pieces a lot.

Let's talk about the beauty.
We took elements of Grace Kelly, the matte red lip and the hair. But then it's like she's been on a construction site.

What was your biggest struggle with this collection?
I can't really think of one. It's kind of like clockwork and connecting the dots. My advice would be to stick to what you believe and to follow your instinct.

Anything you want to add?
Hi mom!

Jeremy Scott Yellow Sunglasses: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 27 May 2007 01:22:22 -0700

Now I know that lately sunglasses have been getting squarer and squarer (think Drew Barrymore's white Ray Ban Wayfarers), but these Jeremy Scott Yellow Sunglasses, $230, are way too square and Tranformer-like for my style. Putting aside the fact that they're yellow, the alien motif is best left to characters in video games. Do you agree?
