FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 02:00:22 PDT

I don't know about you, but the weather here in SF is a recipe for catching a cold. One day the temperature can be upward of 70 degrees while the next is chilly willy. I sure could have used this navy Cloak & Dagger Paddington Car Coat ($598) last night. The silk lining and deep pockets are perfect for nippy situations, but the price is way out of my reach.

Marisa Tom — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:29:27 PST

The verdict on Juicy Couture's Spring '12 collection? These refreshingly pretty and playful looks make us wish warmer weather was just around the corner, rather than a season of Winter layering away. The chateau-inspired wardrobe is perfect for the girl who transitions effortlessly from rocking chic colorblocked separates and bold silhouettes to sporting easy, breezy dresses, oversized totes, and impossibly cool round sunnies. We promise you'll be crushing hard on the bright, flirty pops of neon orange and pink, as spotted in sleek blazers, skinny belts, and clog sandals. And if you've been a Juicy loyalist since the very beginning, don't worry - there are enough signature touches to go around à la slouchy drawstring track bottoms, stripe-happy prints, and lightweight peacoats. Read up on our favorite looks below, then click through for the complete Couture collection.

In our minds, Springtime is always a good excuse for showing off your sweeter side. How about a floral-inspired crochet drop-waist shift dress to prove our dainty point?

We love a solid standby cardigan for those tricky Spring climates. This classic yellow and beige cashmere boyfriend-style cardigan triples as a daytime statement piece, beachside topper, and evening essential.

The accessories really impressed us - we're dying to get our hands on the retro white sunnies, basket weave heels, and boxy clutches and handbags.

Alexander Wang Shares His Spring Essentials, Favorite Artists of the Moment, and More!

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:31:09 PDT

Last night, Alexander Wang and American Express hosted an event at his beautiful flagship store in SoHo. We caught up with the designer to talk about his favorite pieces for Spring, new projects on the horizon, designing red-carpet looks, and more.

FabSugar: What are three Spring essentials every Wang girl should own?

Alexander Wang: I've never been the one to dictate style, but my favorite pieces are really gauzy pieces from the Spring collection with the apron style and worker construction details. I'm also a big fan of leather and we have an exclusive collection here at the flagship store - the leather peacoat is my favorite style. Our new rose gold accessories are also great; the square Jade toiletry clutch is my favorite. It's such an easy day-to-night bag, I would own it if I carried a clutch!

FS: What's your next big challenge?

AW: Even though the new website launched three weeks ago, it's still a really big thing for us. We're working really hard to give it exclusive content, making the shopping content unique; really enhancing everything about it from viewing the collections to special collaborations. It's an exciting project for me because it is something so new and and we're doing a lot of experiments on it.

FS: What is your perspective on street style?

AW: I don't label it street style, it's more individual style and that's how I perceive it from someone walking on the streets or taking the subway. It's that realistic view on things that's so inspiring to me. I've always been inspired by things that are very grounded. There is a certain fantasy to my designs, but I love knowing and understanding that something works - people feel very comfortable around that idea.

FS: Who are some of your favorite musicians of the moment?

AW: In general, musicians are such an inspiration to me, they are always on the pinnacle of creativity. Right now, I really like Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, and Adele.

FS: What did you think of Vanessa Traina's new capsule collection for Maje?

AW: I loved it! I am so proud of her. There's such an authenticity behind her and what she creates. No matter what she does, I think people will respect and admire it because it really comes from her heart and what is true to her. I went to high school with her in San Francisco and she went through the whole process with me, and for her to go through this new venture, I have the same kind of excitement for her as I did when I first started out.

FS: Are there any other new designers we should have on our radar?

AW: Mary Katrantzou has some amazing print work and I have such a respect for her. Her Swiss Textile Award was well-deserved, her designs are just awesome. I'm a big fan of her.

FS: Would you ever be interested in doing more red-carpet looks?

AW: We do it every once in a while, but it has to be the right opportunity for us. I am more interested and inspired by people who have a disinterest in fashion, it's more about what they instinctually put on, rather then being too thought out. But when the opportunity and timing is right for us to do something, we are definitely open to it.
