Come Fab Finding With Me: Dance the Day Away

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:00:08 -0700

A friend of mine is in a modern dance group and they're having their recital soon. She invited me to go, and though I'm excited to see her moves, I'm nervous about my outfit. The only other dance recital I've been to was my little cousin's ballet class. I want to look dance-inspired but not foolish. You think you can help? A pretty leotard might be fun to experiment with.

I'll start you off with this Jennifer Ouellette Headband ($75) because it has a sweet ballet aesthetic that will make me fit in with the dancers.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with dance recital.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one. And here is a more detailed explanation of bookmarks from geeksugar.

Look of the Day: Modern Ballerina

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 03:00:22 -0700

As mentioned earlier, I've been digging the sweet ballerina look lately. There's something so angelic about it. That's why my heart fluttered when I saw fashionissimo's look. This modern ballerina makes me want to run out and get a tutu and pointe shoes. And I love that instead of a leotard, she wore a loose tee.

Come back and fill us in on your look.

Congrats to fashionissimo!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

2009 Fall Couture: Maison Martin Margiela

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:00:22 -0700

For Fall, Martin Margiela didn't veer too far off from his usual avant-garde repertoire. By that I mean, he stuck with flesh-colored face masks, bare legs, and nude leotards. He also continued his love of fringe, cropped capes, and bold jackets. In fact, this collection is all about the statement jacket. No pants required, Lady Gaga style. The array of outerwear includes overly fringed jackets, motorcycle-style leather, colored fur, '80s bold shoulder blazers, and intricate cropped vests. My favorite is a fan vest . . . so Karl. It takes a risk-loving gal to worship Margiela. Are you that girl?

Fabcon: Zoe Saldana

She wasn't the main character in Center Stage, but actress Zoe Saldana radiated through the screen in the 2000 dance flick. I began to take note of the svelte beauty, she looked so swan-like in her leotard and tutus.

Off-screen and on the red carpet, Zoe continues to shine above the rest. She continually puts her best foot forward and doesn't restrict herself to certain colors, silhouettes, and designers. And why should she? She looks good in everything. More recently, she was spotted at the front rows of New York Fashion Week and at fashion fetes. Not one to discriminate trends, Zoe has worn everything from menswear to ruffles, fuchsia to goddess gowns. And I really mean she's worn the clothes, and not vice versa.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2008, VPL: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:00:12 -0700

In honor of some of the polarizing looks showing at New York Fashion Week, I thought we would do a few fashion week editions of Love It or Hate It!

Take this Spring VPL ensemble, with its mustard, gray, and white color palette. It reminds me of an avant-garde ballet outfit, with its leotard-looking layered top and sheer lampshade-inspired skirt. So maybe it's not wearable in the real world, but even as conceptual fashion, do you dig it?
