Natalia V, The Model/Designer Dark Horse

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:10:22 PDT

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 PDT

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 PDT

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.

Nice and New: Lutz & Patmos at West Elm

CasaSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:00:35 PDT

Lutz & Patmos, the New York-based luxury sweater and knitwear brand, has introduced a collection of throws and pillow covers at West Elm. Lutz & Patmos, known for their luxe yarns, exquisite detailing, and sophisticated designs, have brought those same qualities to your home's interior. So now, your sofa or bed can have the same timeless style as your cozy sweaters! Of course, I love the textural cable knit, but I'm really swooning over the color palette. Feather gray is a favorite of mine, and along with the espresso, oatmeal, iron, and camel tones, the collection really creates a calm, rustic modern look. What do you think? Cable throws are priced at $89, and pillow covers, $39.

Trend Alert: Elongated Cardis

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 PDT

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.
