Trend Alert: Fancy Shorts

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:00:22 -0700

A long time ago I inquired about your interest in shorts. I have always liked the slightly sporty, casual look they bring, but lately I've been noticing fancy shorts; shorts that come out at night and are made of fine fabrics like silk and have details like cuffs and drawstrings. My friends, the short has proven to be sexy - who better to prove it us than Karolina Kurkova in her silky, slinky Marc Jacobs ensemble.

On Our Radar: Victoria's Secret New BioFit Uplift Bra

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Spring has just about sprung, and right along with it comes another kind of uplift . . . that of the new Victoria’s Secret bra.

The Victoria’s Secret BioFit Uplift ($45-48) focuses on providing uplift based on individual cup size, so as the cup size increases, the padding decreases. The idea is to make everything feel like it's custom made, and to look as natural as possible. The new bra is available in a variety of sassy colors, from whisper pink to daring orange, and in sizes ranging from A-DD.

Even better, if you happen to be at the Victoria’s Secret store at The Grove in Los Angeles tonight, March 4, from 6-8 pm, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima will be there, too!

Karolina Kurkova On Life After a $13 Mil Diamond Bra

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:00:22 -0800

She started out as the face of Prada at 16 and moved on to front Chanel, YSL, and Gucci campaigns. Most recently, we've seen Karolina Kurkova on the Victoria's Secret runway, where two years ago she wore a $13 million diamond bra.

But KK took some time off from her Victoria's Secret duties to pose for the February Elle UK cover where she reveals that she's nicknamed Karolina Coca-Cola, and gives us the dirt on what else she's been up to. Here are the highlights:

On throwing mobile phones at assistants, Naomi Campbell-style: "I don't even have an assistant! And I don't tend to beat people up!"
On her 2007 movie debut: "My Sexiest Year is set 1970s Florida. I play a character who's a stereotype of a supermodel. I took what I'd learned from watching people through the years and I had fun with it. My character is very sarcastic."
On model-actresses: "Lots of great actresses began as models . . . Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Grace Kelly. And the two jobs complement each other. Modeling makes you aware of your body and face, the light, the clothing. It helps you start to get into character."

Model of the Week: Karolina Kurkova

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 12:21:22 -0800

Welcome to the fifth installment of Model of the Week. I've written a five question interview that I have conducted with several models to share with you. The questions are both fun and beauty related and will always stay the same. To see the rest of the Model of the Week posts click here.

Here's a little history about Karolina Kurkova. She was born on February 28, 1984 in Decín, Czech Republic. She was discovered when an admiring friend sent some pictures of her to a modeling agency in Prague. She immediately booked a runway show, a commercial, an ad campaign and then traveled to Milan to explore the international world of fashion.

It was in Milan where she met Miuccia Prada who signed her to a Prada contract at the tender age of 15. She then met Vogue editors in NY, where she now lives.

Karolina has signed deals with: Yves Saint Laurent, Victoria's Secret, Tommy, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta and Balenciaga.

She is one of the most renowned models in the world. In 2001, she graced the cover of Vogue and in 2002 she was granted the "Model of the Year" title at the 2002 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards.

She is quite accustomed to fame though. Her Dad is Josef Kurka - a former star basketball player. There is a reason this beauty has become a shining star. She is sweet, down to earth, driven and extremely articulate. Best of luck to you Karolina!

BELLA: What is your secret to beautiful skin and hair?
KK: I have a steam shower in my apartment, so I steam my face everyday. For my hair, I swear by Victoria's Secret So Sexy Nourishing Shampoo for Dry/Damaged Hair, $9.50, and Victoria's Secret So Sexy Nourishing Conditioner for Dry/Damaged hair, $9.50. It smells so good and it gives my thin hair a lot of volume.

BELLA: What is the one product you can't live without?
KK: Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Makeup - Perfect Lipstick in Whisper, $12. It's a pinkish brown color - I love it.

BELLA: What is your guilty pleasure?
KK: Sweets. I really like chocolate and One Lucky Duck RAW Ice Cream in chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. It's dairy free, made from cashews and coconut meat - so it doesn't upset my stomach and it tastes delicious.

BELLA: What is your favorite drugstore product?
KK: Zip lock bags. If I don't have them in my house, I go nuts. I like to be organized and those zip locks really keep me organized; especially when I travel. I keep my makeup, jewelry, lingerie...everything in them!

BELLA: Happiness is...
KK: Being healthy, being alive! I feel really lucky to have family and friends - so it makes me happy to spend my time with them.

Victoria's Secret Launches Secret Embrace and BellaSugar Was There!

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:38:11 -0800

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the exciting Victoria’s Secret launch for their Five New Secret Embrace Bras. The event took place at the huge two-floor VS store in NYC where four of the gorgeous Victoria's Secret Angels, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, and Selita Ebanks, were in attendance.

Not only did I get to meet the models, but also I was able to speak with each of them one on one. Talk about nerve racking! However, once I got started I realized that I had no reason to be intimidated - these women were nothing but sweet, articulate and professional.

The event began with a photo op of the models in their designated colors followed by a move upstairs where interviews and autograph signings took place. It ended with a song, strawberry cake and champagne, in celebration of Karolina Kurkova's birthday.

The bras range in price from $42-$51 and after feeling them, I can't wait to get one. You may remember me mentioning it in my recent post about Oscars swag, but if not, they are one single piece of fabric that is: seam free, tag free and stitch free. When they are on, they look and feel invisible.

The bras are currently available in stores and online in an assortment of Spring colors in sizes 32A-38DD, depending on style and color.

As you all know, I have been conducting exclusive model interviews for my Model of the Week feature. Stay tuned for more exciting coverage of these Angels in weeks to come where only on FabSugar can find we find out their guilty pleasures, secrets to beautiful hair, skin...and more!
