Emmy in Sliced Sheer Ferragamo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:41:31 -0700

I normally commend Emmy Rossum's red carpet choices; she always manages to be feminine and unique. She took a slight risk wearing this sliced, sheer Ferragamo dress at GQ's Gentlemen's Ball in NYC last night. I'm all about mesh inserts right now, but something is off - I think a higher hemline would have balanced the turtleneck and long sleeves. Cool earrings though. What do you think?

2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week Fab Roundup!

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Even under a scrunched time line, Milan Fashion Week stunned with numerous beautiful collections. In this roundup, I highlight some of my favorite designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Fendi, and Armani, to name a few. I admit, Dolce & Gabbana's collection was my favorite, but that's not stopping me from showing you Bottega's soft and swirly frock, Gucci's cut-out wonder, and Emilio Pucci's magical prints. I can't seem to resist this tropical bohemian masterpiece from Etro. Simply a-mazing.

Ortiz Out at Ferragamo, Giornetti In

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Salvatore Ferragamo is kicking its womenswear designer, Cristina Ortiz, to the curb. The designer, who's been clashing with the Ferragamo family for her flashy, sexy designs will be replaced by Massimiliano Giornetti, Ferragamo's menswear designer. Giornetti will debut his first womenswear collection in Fall '10. Ortiz will show her last Spring '10 line for Ferragamo in September at Milan Fashion Week.

Fab Flash: High/Low Designer Collaborations at an All-Time High

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

During dismal economic times, designer collaborations are the way to go. “We’re definitely going to see a lot more of these high-low marriages,” said Valerie Steele, of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. “People are going to want a lot of fashion for their buck.” With that said, now is the time to nab a creation from your favorite high-end designer for a fraction of the price.

For example, J Brand has teamed up with Hussein Chalayan to create an exclusive denim line. “The opportunity to work with Hussein brings both brands to another level,” said Suzy Crippen, of J Brand. “It is all about business. The business of making something beautiful, a collector’s item you can afford, like a cheap Picasso.” Affordable designer goodies? That's always been the Fab way to go . . .

For a list of upcoming designer collaborations, read more.

Y for Dr. Martens
Salvatore Ferragamo for Yohji Yamamoto

Alas, 2009 Spring Fashion Month has come to an end. But that doesn't mean we have to stop talking about it! Quite the contrary - it's time to obsess.

This Ferragamo neon clutch is sizzling; the slouch shape adds a modern, cool touch. Take a gander through the slideshow to see what's in store for Spring.

Celebrity Style: Anne Hathaway

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Anne stopped by the David Letterman show in an ensemble that will inspire those hesitant to dabble with the moody combination of navy and black. Her pajama-style Marc Jacobs wrap dress from the Resort line looks super sophisticated against black accessories like opaque tights, patent Brian Atwood pumps, and a black Ferragamo woven bag. The oval turquoise earrings and chunky gray cocktail ring are nice, simple touches. So, does Anne have you convinced?

On Our Radar: Ferragamo to Create Footwear For Upcoming Nicole Kidman Flick

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Imagine having the task of creating footwear for a high-profile flick starring Nicole Kidman? That's precisely the boat Salvatore Ferragamo is in. The footwear designer, along with Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin, is set to create a collection of shoes for Baz Luhrmann's Australia.

"My grandfather, Salvatore Ferragamo, began his career working in costume design for the American Film Company, a precursor to Twentieth Century Fox, so it is only fitting that we carry on his name and our company's heritage by collaborating once again on a film from Fox," said James Ferragamo.

When watching the movie, which comes out in November, look for evening sandals, riding boots, and classic wedge styles. Some shoes will later be sold at Ferragamo stores worldwide. But first, they will be displayed in Milan at the Evolving Legend Exhibition starting Sept. 24.

Fall Glimpse: Back to the Future

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:00:22 -0700

It was one of my favorite movies in the '80s and it is one of my favorite trends now. I don't really see myself in cosmic clothes, but I sure love looking at them. They're so sleek, so severe, so serious. True, they may be most appropriate for the cast of the Star Trek movie (wouldn't that be dope?), but whenever this trend resurfaces it reminds me that it is the future.

YSL's runway (left) was transfixing; architectural shapes, stiff fabrics, drones of models in uniform mop tops and new-wave shades. Others were more wearable - Ferragamo's slivers of metallic and straight jacket-esque creations and the renegades at Rick Owens.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Diane Kruger x 2

FabSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:00:22 -0700

You all know I adore Diane Kruger so it was just a matter of time before she became a weekly Fab favorite. Not only did you all vote her best dressed at the Met's Costume Institute Gala (by a fine, blond hair) but she kept on partying all week delivering one unique look after another.

These two looks perfectly demonstrate her chameleon abilities. First, she looked ladylike and sweet in a watercolor off-the-shoulder frock at a Salvatore Ferragamo party. Then, she looked fierce in a modern black and beige layered Phillip Lim ensemble. She prefers simple, delicate jewelry, however, she is wearing a fun bright-pink nail color (sassy!). Her hair is pulled back as not to distract from the well-tuned clothing. This proclaimed self-stylist is an inspiration to us all.

To see the best of Diane this week, read more.
