Cruise '10 Melts Our Hearts

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Cruise collections are so delightful. Not only do they get you in the spirit of Summer, most creations are actually wearable, and if you're like me, easy to re-create. This round varies from flirty to dazzling thanks to Monique Lhuillier's indulgent creations. Stella McCartney's gingham dress and yellow heels are cute enough for an outdoor wedding or even a picnic in Central Park. Keep clicking to see the best resort pieces from Burberry, Phillip Lim, Versace, Jonathan Saunders, Alberta Ferretti, and more! Source

Sienna Miller in Futuristic Jonathan Saunders: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:33:22 -0700

Sienna Miller showed off her bold style at the ShoWest Awards in viva Las Vegas wearing a futuristic frock by Jonathan Saunders. Minimal jewels allow Saunders's creation to shine while black sandals by Sergio Rossi further Sienna's ferocity. This severe, body-con red patterned dress is a surprising choice for the bohemian actress, but I think she pulls it off. Do you like it?

Look of the Day: Cavalry Chic

Missfox looks like she's ready to battle off the boys in her cavalry chic ensemble. Her military shirt is the real thing - gifted from her gramps - and I like how her Ray-Bans complete her look. While the woodsy background is nice, I can easily see her stomping the city streets in this militant fit.

Here's what she has on:

Cavalry Shirt: Vintage
Henley: Target
Pants: Jonathan Saunders for Target
Boots: Kors Michael Kors
Purse: Louis Vuitton
Sunglasses: Ray-Bans

Congrats to missfox!

I spot lilprisci in a piece from Target's Jonathan Saunders collection. She's a bona fide art girl in her abstract print dress. I like how she paired the dress with dark leggings and matching booties. Mod-girl and marvelous!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Jonathan Saunders for Target
Leggings: Target
Oxfords: H&M
Earrings: Unknown

Congrats to lilprisci!

Style For Style: Using Colorblock to Look Slender

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0700

When I first saw model Masha Tyelna in this Dazed & Confused editorial (center), I freaked out: I thought her waist was freakishly small. Upon closer inspection, I realized it's just a fashion illusion created by the black side panels on her strapless dress. Phew! Although her look is over-dramatized, we can take away a thing or two from it, much like how we learned from Leighton Meester that racerbacks can make you appear curvier.

To learn how colorblock can make you look slender, and to see a widget of dresses, read more

The moral of this story is that colorblock dresses, whose side panels are dark, can make you look inches smaller than you are. That's because, like in Masha's case, it's an optical illusion. Our gaze tends to go toward bright colors, so find a colorblock dress whose panels are dark and inside is bright; attention is drawn to the center of your dress. I hope this will come in handy next time you consider purchasing a colorblock item. Below are some items to get you started.

Sneak Peek! Jonathan Saunders For Target

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:00:08 -0700

Update: More styles from Jonathan Saunders's Target collection have been released. See them after the jump.

Target's Go International line is about to see its quirkiest, most avant-garde designs yet thanks to British designer Jonathan Saunders. The news of the collaboration came a few months back and I have no doubt that it excited the fashion-forward crowd. Starting Oct. 5, those who love a little funky in their closet will be able to score art-inspired pieces with splashes of color, modern silhouettes, and unique prints.
For his cheaper collection, ranging from $14.99 to $59.99, Saunders was highly influenced by artists like Gustav Klimt, Jackson Pollock, and Rothko (like far left ombre dress, worn by model Hanne Gaby Odiele). If those names mean nothing to you, perhaps a Wikipedia session prior to purchasing would help.

Target has chosen Jonathan Saunders to design its next GO International collection. The highly touted British designer is known for his use of colorblocking and innovative color combinations in his designs. The limited-edition collection will be available early October. Remember he also did a collection for Topshop? And, we didn't fancy it that much. Guess we'll have to wait and see if this one is a bigger success!

Jonathan Saunders For Topshop Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Ever since I found out about Topshop's capsule collections, I have been anticipating Jonathan Saunders' work . . . until now. This Jonathan Saunders for Topshop Dress ($149) is unattractive and unwearable, in my opinion. He has designed such gorgeous frocks for Thandie Newton and the likes, but when it comes to us less-wealthy customers, he falls short. What's your take?
