10 Fashion Observations, Straight From Paris

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

My recent trip to Paris left me inundated with chic fashion observations. Whether I was window shopping on Rue Saint-Honoré or strolling down Rue St. Germain, I would always spot a cool trend, another form of inspiration for my closet. Left and right, effortlessly gorgeous women on bikes and on foot would stop me dead in my tracks. It's a mystery how they don't brush their hair and barely wear makeup, but look so damn good. Bella, any ideas? Fashion-wise, we all know that Parisians love, love, love black. Even visitors, like L'Uomo Vogue editor Giovanna Battaglia, get sucked into the black hole when they go. Curious to know my other Paris fashion observations? Entrer!

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Chloé

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:00:22 -0700

You can spot a Chloé a mile away. That's not to say Hannah MacGibbon has a formula, but rather, a distinct aesthetic, which has come to define the house. While Spring '10 was muted in color, it was bursting in silhouette. Hefty ponchos, cropped capes, leather boy shorts, sharp suits, and leather overalls were among the offerings. A major theme was crisp button-down shirts, buttoned all the way to the top. In that sense, this collection is buttoned-up. It's a collection for a warrior woman, one who isn't afraid to embark on an unknown journey, stylish poncho in hand.

So as not to abandon her more flirtatious customer, however, Hannah added a few flowy skirts and an airy white accordion-pleated frock - wedding dress anyone? And for the denim-loving gal, one look: a patched button-down denim shirt and comfy jeans. Onward ho!

Phoebe Philo's Coats Céline in Camel: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Can you believe it's already been a year since it was announced Phoebe Philo would serve as creative director of Céline? Time has flown and the British designer has designed her first major collection for the house. She dipped her feet with Cruise '10, but she's taken the plunge with Spring '10. The result is lots of camel - leather mini skirts, high-waist trousers, drawstring tops. There are a few black, white, and forest green pieces in there, but for the most part it's a camel world of sharp sportswear. What do you think?

Chanel's Barn Bonanza!

Karl does country. It's impossible to guess Karl's next move. And who would have thought it would be to the barn? His Spring collection, replete with stars and spectacles, lightened the mood. The clothes were frilly, feminine, and colorful, adorned with thematic accessories like Chanel clogs, flowers in the hair, and drippy jewels. Prince was there - random - and so were Chanel devotees Rihanna, Claudia Schiffer, Dasha Zhukova, and Clemence Poesy. With Karl playing a part, and Lily Allen serenading, it looked like a thrilling fashion hoedown.

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

This is Stella's party and she'll dress her women how she wants to! That's precisely what the British designer did, as friends like Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlotte Casiraghi looked on. Stella's Spring creations remind that she is a multi-faceted woman, full of life and passion for fashion. She continues to appreciate neutrals and lace, but is now also totally exuberant. The major show-stealers are accordion-pleated ruffles and bright, juicy colors like royal blue, fuchsia, and orange.

Parts of this collection reminded me of her past - crisp high-waisted trousers, oversized blazers, camel hues - but so much of it was fresh. A one-piece bathing suit, a developing Spring trend made its way onto the catwalk, as did dramatically sexy blouses, maxi dresses, lace halter tops, and mini boy shorts. A few denim pieces also took part, but in a less modern, more vintage manner. Whether you're feeling elegant, sassy, boyish, or shy, look no further than Stella Spring '10.

Stella McCartney's Spring '10 show just unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, and one of her closest pals, Gwyneth Paltrow, was in attendance. While other stars have been dressing way up for the shows, Gwyneth kept it casual chic in cropped acid jeans. It's a minimal look, with a slight nod to the '80s via the acid wash and the bold shouldered Stella McCartney blazer.

BDG Ankle Length Acid Washed Cigarette Jean - $64.00	Square Suede Pumps - $26.99

High Fashion Ungaro Heart Pasties: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Lindsay Lohan debuted her first advised collection for Emanuel Ungaro over the weekend. It's not half bad, though I still yearn for Esteban Cortezar's vivid prints and sassy draping. What I can see as a Lohan touch is this bedazzled heart pastie one of the models wore. It's done in an admittedly demure fashion, a little less blatant than Rihanna's Fourth of July star pastie. It helps that the white embroidered jacket is pretty gorgeous. But is it still totally tacky?
