The Fab Faces of Spring '10

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

With Spring ready-to-wear in the bag, designers are conjuring up their Spring ad campaigns, placing the hottest of the hot with the most stylish shutterbugs. Thus far, we know Lara Stone will star in Louis Vuitton's ads, while Daisy Lowe will shine for its swimwear line. In Versace land, Donatella has chosen Fabcon Georgia May Jagger to be photographed by Mario Testino. On the celebrity front, Madonna was snatched up by Dolce & Gabbana - we're hoping she won't look as photoshopped as her previous Louis Vuitton ads.

To learn who else is starring in Spring '10 ads, read more.

Fab Ad: Mulberry, Fall '09

Mulberry's latest ad campaign helps me gear up for Fall, both physically and mentally. The moody hues are so Autumn, and those leather hobo bags are just lovely. Irina Kulikova and Kasia Struss's jumpy posing keeps the photo from being too stagnant, and the mellow background allows the bags to shine. I'll let Bella fans determine whether or not the big hair is cool, but the outfits and location are spot on. Agreed?

Fab Ad: Chloé Fall '09

I once spoke of the fashion metamorphosis of the house of Chloé and its ad campaign transformation. I feel like when it comes to ads, Chloé has done it all: streets, deserts, beach, and now Spanish wheat fields. This is the second major ad campaign for designer Hannah MacGibbon, and she has stuck with photographer Mikael Jansson. What she hasn't stuck with are the same models as Spring. Instead of Anna Maria Jagodzinska and Toni Garrn, she chose Kasia Struss, Sigrid Agren, and Karlie Kloss. Do you dig this or is it way too au naturel?

Sneak Peek! Mango, Summer '09

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Here is Polish model Kasia Struss cliff climbing in the latest collection from Mango. The Summer stock includes countless fashiony pieces: drop-crotch shorts, sequin tops, flutter-sleeve blouses, plaid pants, neon tees, print maxis, and colorful scarves. I see a collection that's conducive to warm weather but doesn't compromise style for temperature. I quite like how they've jazzed up this long, white prairie maxi with a fun scarf and low-slung brown belt. There's more where that came from . . . Supermodels

2009 Pre-Fall: Michael Kors

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:00:08 -0800

After viewing Michael Kors's 2009 Pre-Fall collection, here's what we need to do to be in the know: wrap a thick, black headband around head; wear a long-sleeve turtleneck underneath a crop-sleeve coat, combine loud patterns, seek unique necklaces, don't be afraid of boxy cuts, overdo leopard. Phew! It's a lot to take in, but it all comes together beautifully, as exemplified by models Kasia Struss, Lindsay Ellingson, and Chanel Iman. If your goal is to look polished, mature, but with off-kilter undertones, this Kors collection will be of inspiration to you. I know I'll be taking away a few things myself.

Fab Face: Constance Jablonski

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was good to be Constance Jablonski during the Spring '10 shows. The French stunner booked more shows - 72! - than any other model this season. Trailing behind her were Kasia Struss at 61 and Hanne Gaby Odiele at 56. So if Constance walked at least twice in each show, then that means she showed off about 144 looks. Whoa.

The 19-year-old is clearly a rising star; she has a tall, svelte bod, gorgeous blue eyes, just-right lips, and a perfect jaw. In the three years she's been in the industry, she's worked for Givenchy, Teen Vogue, Topshop, Donna Karan, La Perla, Moschino, Harper's Bazaar . . . the list goes on and on. Constance is a constant, so keep your eyes peeled.

Get to know Constance better.
