Fab Flash: Elle Magazine Editors to Guest Star on Ugly Betty

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Just as former Elle fashion director Nina Garcia prepares for a guest appearance this Thursday on Ugly Betty, the announcement comes that more Elle editors are joining in on the ugly fun.

Elle Editor in Chief Robbie Myers and creative director Joe Zee will appear on the season finale of the show, which features a charity softball game between Elle and the fictitious Mode magazine. Myers and Zee will both be up to bat on the episode, wearing the uniform at left, and Naomi Campbell is set to play Elle's designated hitter. Sounds like the season is going to wrap with a home run!

The City Fashion Quiz: Episode 6, "Weekend at Freddie's"

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:30:22 -0800

As the name of this episode suggests, The City girls spent a weekend at Freddie's in the Hamptons. Sound glamorous? It wasn't. Yes, they wore bikinis and clubbed, but Whitney found out that Freddie has a girlfriend. Moving on. In the city, Olivia worked on Elle's blogger story (which featured Sugar's own Tommye Fitzpatrick), but of course, didn't impress Erin. But this time, she didn't impress Joe Zee either. Let's see how well you were paying attention to all the fashion details.

The City Fashion Quiz: Episode 3, "It's All Who You Know"

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

The City is proving to be as juicy in the work world as it is outside it. Love it. The tension between Olivia and Erin continues, even though Joe Zee is highly impressed by Olivia's creativity. Speaking of tension, Roxy continued to steer Whitney in the wrong direction, and last night it affected the relationship between Kelly and Whitney. Not cool. Were you paying attention to the fashion details? Let's find out.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Donna Karan

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:52:27 -0700

Upon entering the Donna Karan venue, you were put into a Zen state by loud, yet soothing, Annie Lennox music. My Zen was mildly interrupted by Milla Jovovich, in an awesome striped dress, who sat in the front row with Rachel Zoe and Elle's Joe Zee. These three were very chummy, cozy. But once the lights went down, the Zen returned. A Spring collection, as Donna's notes put it, "Inspired by the power of the elements - the sky, water, wind, sand, earth, and fire." Form-fitting crinkled pumice linen jackets and skirts gave way to blush-colored viscose stretch-matte jersey dresses and separates. A sky-blue gauze top and slip skirt were incredibly - sexy - sheer, light, and lovely. Fire was exemplified through fire coral shells, jackets, sleek pants, and the popular "envelope dress" - Karan made an airy envelope dress in almost every color. I wasn't keen on the hats, they distracted from the ingenuity of the clothes, but the teetering wedges and rubberized belts caught some complimentary looks. The white-jersey evening dress was unreal, and the fire-coral one (pictured) sent my heart a flutter.

On Our Radar: More Diversity on the Runway at New York Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:00:22 -0800

We've closely followed the issue of model diversity for some time now, and judging from New York Fashion Week, designers are showing an effort to include more ethnic models this season. Some credit this change to our new president and to First Lady Michelle Obama's overwhelming popularity. “There’s a residue left over from the excitement of the inauguration. People just want to bring that sort of optimism or element of change on the runways," said Elle’s creative director, Joe Zee.

However, industry experts say although some progress has been made, much more has to be done. “I’ve seen a more consistent use of black models,” said model Veronica Webb. "I still don’t see more of different kinds of faces, but we’re getting there.” Whatever the reason, we're happy to see strides in the right direction and look forward to seeing an even wider variety of beautiful models in the future.

Are You on Team Katie or Team Cologne?

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

I bet when they signed up to be on Stylista, the contestants did not expect to plan a 10-year-old's birthday party. And not just any 10-year-old: Anne Slowey's diva niece, Erin. Do kids like that really exist? Like any other challenge, some hopefuls went above and beyond, while others fell behind. Johanna's party idea - fashion show and an illusionist - claimed Erin's interest, so she won the challenge. But in the end, Anne, Joe Zee, and guest judge Cynthia Rowley had to let one person go. While many thought (and hoped) it would be Katie, it actually ended up being Cologne. What did you think about the decision? Are you on Team Katie or Team Cologne?

FABTV: A First Look at Stylista

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Fashion TV fans get ready for another addictive show: The CW's Stylista. Brought to you by Tyra Banks, and ELLE magazine's Joe Zee and Anne Slowey, this reality show will reveal a day in the life with the real Devil Wears Prada. Here's a first glimpse as the office peons prepare breakfast for the statuesque blonde ELLE fashion news editor. It's a bit tongue in cheek as we see the teetering editor strut through the office wearing Yves Saint Laurent's oversized star necklace. The best bit? After she makes her announcement to the fashion wannabees and the trays start a shakin'. Cute, but devilish indeed.
