Which Harper's Bazaar July Cover Wins - Fashion or Celebrity?

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:22:31 -0700

Harper's Bazaar invented its dual-cover concept in 2001, but it's especially important today since newsstand sales have become as pertinent as advertising revenue. For its July issue, the mag is giving subscribers a fierce fashion cover shot of model Doutzen Kroes, shot by Terry Richardson. But newsstand shoppers will see a completely different cover, one that features a Getty image of Angelina Jolie taken at the LA premiere of Curious Case of Benjamin Button in December 2008. This is the first time Bazaar is using a stock image and its success rate remains to be seen.

"Our readers told us they are completely fascinated by Angelina Jolie. For us, it's about giving readers what they want, when they want it . . . for our subscribers, who desire a more fashion-forward image, we've got the next great supermodel, Doutzen Kroes. Either way, the reader wins," said a spokesperson. So tell me, which cover do you prefer - fashion or celebrity?

Happy 140th Birthday, Bazaar!

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:00:22 -0800

Pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and you'll soon realize that one of the greatest fashion magazines, started in 1867, is celebrating it's big 1-4-0! In a world so fickle, lasting that long in any industry is not easy. So let's put our hands together, clear our throats, and sing one of our favorite mags a happy birthday.

In celebration, this month's issue features quotes from the most influential designers today. They were asked former Bazaar columnist Diana Vreeland's famous question, "Why don't you?" and here's what some had to say...

"Why don't you have a different pair of fabulous heels for each day of the week? Especially on the weekends!" - Donatella Versace
"Why don't you break your limit of conventions and dress yourself over-the-top passionately? - Olivier Theyskens, Nina Ricci
"Why don't you wear a short dress to a black-tie gala?" - Alber Elbaz, Lanvin
"Why don't you belt your boyfriend's shirt and wear it as a dress?" - Ralph Lauren
"Why don't you step out in playful polka dots? - Oscar De La Renta

Which Super Has the Sassiest Wink?

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Over-the-knee boots are the sexiest boot to dominate in a while. This is what happens when you put three Supers in them, and only them. On the Winter '09 cover of i-D Magazine, the three show us their winking prowess. Makes you want to practice yours, huh? If I were to adopt a winking style based on this, I think I'd go the Claudia route - pure, unabashed flirtation. Eva's is more a bedroom eyes approach, while Helena subtly reveals one gorgeous green eye. They all have wild, curly glam hair and show just enough skin, but which Super has the sassiest wink?

Glamour Magazine Women of the Year: Rihanna

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:36:58 -0800

So dramatic, I couldn't resist. Rihanna showed up at Glamour magazine's 2009 Women of the Year event in NYC in a dramatic pleated ivory Stéphane Rolland Couture gown and Cartier jewels. It's one of those only she can pull off, and I believe she does. Do you?

Fab Read: Foam Magazine

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

There are so many fresh things about Foam magazine, where to begin? Based out of San Clemente, CA, the magazine is brimming with fashion, the ocean, art, and music. It's inspiration information for the beach-loving fashion art hound. It's hard to find, but take a flip through the digital version for an idea. The mag's website is cool, too. I particularly find its fashion and surf musings interesting; getting to know the latest surfer babes and their mantras is totally motivating. A flippy mag focused on fashion and surfing? Why didn't I think of that?

Girls On Film: Natasha Poly, Muse

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:49:10 -0700

In this episode of Girls on Film, we spy Natasha Poly striking a series of kickass, Matrix-like poses in Muse magazine. The Fab Face, decked out in sensual LBDs, printed frocks, leather gloves, and red lips, alludes such smashing appeal. From her broken-down stances to her pouty lips, there's no denying her modeling marvel. This photoshoot makes me wonder if she's playing the role of a runaway mistress, or maybe she's a spy in the middle of an espionage act - exciting! My imagination can go on for days, come to your own conclusions about this cryptic piece.

Girls on Film: Amber Valletta, V Magazine

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:50:22 -0700

Guess who's starring inside V Magazine's upcoming 61st issue? Amber Valletta, that's who. The model took the Fall slot looking stylishly stealth in a black and white editorial shot by Hedi Slimane. I'm loving the gritty array of denim and range of avant-garde to casual tops. Her striking eyes are magnetizing and pulling her hair away from her face exemplifies her striking cheek bones. Take note of how stylist Clare Richardson geniusly combined high/low brands from the likes of Benetton, H&M, Levi’s, Hudson, Uniqlo, Dolce & Gabbana to create a dirty yet divine vibe. I'm inspired, are you?

Love It or Hate It? Jewelry Made Out of Fashion Magazines

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I've thought of a few things to do with old magazine pages (use as wrapping paper, wall art, book covers, etc) but making jewelry has never been one of them. That's why jewelry designer Lenore Solmo is one unique chick. Her cuffs, bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces, made from fashion magazine pages, can be found at her store on Etsy from $32 to $86. What do you think? Do you love this concept or hate it?
