Natalia V, The Model/Designer Dark Horse

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:10:22 -0700

She's a pretty kick ass model. She and her hubbie have reached power couple status. She is the brand ambassador for lingerie and swimwear brand Etam. She's simply glass-lickin' good. Next up for the multitasking model is a guest designer spot for knit house Lutz & Palmos. The electric gang of other guest designers for the brand include Kirsten Dunst and Jane Birkin; it will be interesting to see what the sweet-faced Russian will bring to the pre-Spring lineup.

Trend Alert: Queens of Darkness

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Let's get these important details out of the way: SJP in smoky McQueen, Eve in Brian Reyes, Elizabeth Banks in Stella McCartney. All daring. These Queens of Darkness feel so spooky season appropriate in their dark and stormy ensembles. This dimensional look can be inspired by goth, avant-garde, rock 'n' roll, or all the above. Whether you got your angst out in high school or you're getting it out now, put that hostility towards a good cause and wear your heart of darkness on your sleeve.

On Our Radar: Jane Birkin Designs For Lutz & Patmos

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Lutz & Patmos have been crossing their fingers for this opportunity to arise and now it has; the brand has enlisted British actress and singer Jane Birkin as their latest guest designer.

“She has this really relaxed, nonchalant style without being overtly sexy, which is very sexy,” said Lutz who also mentioned that Birkin, mother to models Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, has played their unofficial muse for quite a while.

Look forward to seeing Birkin's alluring, low-key style translated into organic cashmere sweaters and slim-fitting tanks detailed with raw necklines and crochet. Prices are to be determined.

Trend Alert: Elongated Cardis

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Hmmm. It's warm outside, but it might be chilly where I have to run errands - and pick up my caffeine fix at The Coffee Bean. What to wear? Elongated cardis are the perfect solution when you need a whisper-light layer. And, they're cool. They have a nonchalant attitude that you'll have, too. Just ask Ashley Tisdale, hand-in-hand with her man. Isn't life grand?

On Our Radar: Lutz & Patmos Spawns Leroy & Perry

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Lutz & Patmos's Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos are expanding. Leroy & Perry is their latest brainchild and it brings us environmentally friendly sweaters without the high price.

It all started when that the vice president of fashion merchandising at Barneys New York mentioned how tough it was to find good sweaters for Barneys Co-op. Lutz & Patmos partnered with Barneys Green and has created three eco-friendly styles for Spring and a handful of items for Fall. Each will retail for less than $300 at Barneys and one percent of all proceeds will benefit The Alliance for Climate Protection. Whether the duo plans to roll out the collection to other stores remains to be seen.

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:00:22 -0800

Kirsten Dunst is really throwing herself into the fashion ring recently: first appearing in the Spring Miu Miu ads and now collaborating with luxe knitwear line Lutz + Patmos.

She follows in the footsteps of Liv Tyler, Sofia Coppola, and Julianne Moore, who have all designed for the cashmere-friendly label in the past, and her capsule collection debuts on Feb. 3, during the upcoming New York Fashion Week!

Trend Alert: Sassy Sweats

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I feel like it was only yesterday I was frustrated with celebrities who wore sweats while carrying their designer handbags - sorry, so not Fab. Luckily, those days are pretty much over, but with sassy sweats on the rise, I may have to accept the trend. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about some sassiness when walking Annabelle around the 'hood or going on a hike, but there's a time and a place. Sweatshirts can be an adorable ode to Jazzercise, case in point: Bosworth in her faded lavender Harlow sweatie running errands in LA. Denim shorts and quirky loafers prevent her from being too sloppy or '80s. Let's get physical, physical . . .
