Trend Alert: Mixed Material Bangles

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We can all agree Bosworth's ray print Proenza Schouler dress is epic. But have you ever realized Kate rarely wears jewelry? When she does, I notice. Her mixed metal bangles add extended cool to her black and ice sheath. She opted for a silver medley, but mixed metals work just as well. The key is to stack 'em and play around with textures and widths. In this case, more is more.

Kristen Stewart in Aquatic Chic Proenza Schouler: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:20:00 -0800

Her nude J.Mendel was pretty but this is straight up fun. Kristen Stewart hit the London red carpet for her new flick, New Moon. While most are focusing on her chemistry with Robert, I'm zooming in on her Proenza Schouler Spring '10 look. It's youthful, spunky, and so is Kristen. I only wish the top were a tad more fitted. I loved the scuba sandals on the catwalk, but Kristen's black patent pumps work as well. What do you think of Kristen in Proenza?

Paula Patton has been out and about lately, and she always make a style statement. She attended the Keep a Child Alive's 6th Annual Black Ball in a super-cool black, brown, and red printed Proenza Schouler dress. It's tribal chic defined. Jazzy accessories, including crystal cuffs, rings, and earrings, brought in the glam. Black leather cage sandals, a shimmery burgundy clutch, and deep-blue nail polish further her fun look.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Proenza Schouler

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:00:22 -0700

A self-proclaimed mermaid, I drowned in Proenza Schouler's aquatic chic Spring collection. It wasn't evident right away - leather and bondage shirt dresses and jackets opened. And then, like a flurry of fish, tiered and ruffled frocks in teals, turquoise, and acid green stole the scene. Seaweed sequins in purple and emerald, and even some feathers, trimmed asymmetrical hems. Then the prints - tie dye, stone wash, water ripples, mana ray - on frilly skirts and perfect shifts. Dramatic wedges were scuba fantastic, sunnies were bold and reflective, bags were eclectic. The babydoll was reinvented in a strappy, sassy bralette style. Washed up, sometimes green, beachy hair, completed the marine melody. Lastly, three Traina's were in attendance - longtime PS supporters. Soak, it, up.

Back to Cool: A Different World

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

The plot description for A Different World is, "A group of students at a historically Black university struggle to make it through college." Woah, heavy. But the tagline is, "Big laughs on campus." That's more like it. Maybe I was too young to pick up on the struggles, I just remember a group of young'uns making college look like a cool place comprised of interesting characters and funky wardrobes. I mean Dwayne Wayne's flip-up glasses? I totally forgot Marisa Tomei was on the show - I was too mesmerized by Lisa Bonet's great looks. It might have had after-school-special lessons, but it had mad style. It's a different world, from where you come from!

Sundance Channel Goes Full Frontal Fashion

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I was bummed when Full Frontal Fashion, a fashion program focusing on New York Fashion Week, was canceled back in January. Now there's some light at the end of the tunnel - the Sundance Channel is reviving it in its own way. "For us, it’s not about the trendy - it’s just about this dramatic, entertaining and, above all, creative perspective," said general manager Sarah Barnett. Expect a mix of original television programming and Web content.

The Day Before is a four-part series that follows four designers - Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi, and Proenza Schouler - in the 36 hours preceding their shows. As for the website, which launches Sept. 1, here's what you'll see: Patrick McMullan's video reports and a photo diary from the collections, and contributions from Lynn Yaeger, former Teen Vogue and Nylon fashion editor Aya Kanai, and Los Angeles Times editor Robin Sayers. The site will also feature a video and photo exhibition of the work of Bruce Weber.

Trend Alert: The Graduated Cone

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:50:11 -0700

There are many reasons why I'm smitten with Sienna Miller's Isabel Marant Fall 'fit.. Her ruched print dress is ultra rad and I can't take my eyes off those studded booties - hotness. Take note of the artistic graduated cone heel. This frame takes on a more triangular shape compared to regular cone heels. Less cylindrical, more severe, and way more sexy. I like it.

Proenza Schouler's Round Sunglasses: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Proenza Schouler's sunnies aren't due out until October/November, but one sneaky little pair - these Round Optic Sunglasses ($310) - has already debuted at La Garçonne. The boys grew bored of the Wayfarer look - "Something about the simplicity of that shape against the face turned us on." Does it turn you on?

Chloë Sevigny in Leather Proenza Schouler Jumpsuit: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:30:22 -0700

Chloë Sevigny recently attended a party celebrating the release of A Magazine's issue #9, which Proenza Schouler's designers curated. The cover girl supported her designer pals by wearing the leather black jumpsuit from their Spring '09 collection. But she opted to leave the white sleeveless button-down shirt at home. It's a daring choice, but not shocking coming from Chloë. Of her outfit, the actress said: "I feel a little bit like a super-slut superhero." I couldn't have described it better myself. Do you love it or hate it?
