Fabcons: The Traina Three

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:00:08 PDT

Samantha, Victoria, Vanessa. There are more Trainas, but these are The Traina Three. All of them, children of novelist Danielle Steel and vintner John Traina, are under the radar but oh so Fab. Many a fashion junkie who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area is secretly obsessed with the elusive sisters. They are socialites, yes, but they aren't camera-loving princesses.

All three work in fashion. Samantha, the brunette who resides in LA, serves as fashion editor of C magazine. Her style is feminine with a cool edge. Victoria, with the bangs, worked at the Lacroix atelier last Summer. She has a fondness for hair play and appreciates texture and eclecticism. Vanessa, the tall one, currently works at Vogue Paris; she is the most model-like, wears lots of Paris black, and has a total nonchalant attitude. With friends like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Lazaro and Jack of Proenza Schouler, the TTT clearly played in the coolest sandbox in town. It's too bad they all fled San Francisco - we could use some of their chic, forward thinking here.

Behind the Seams: Proenza Schouler Handbag Launch

Sigh, how I envy the lifestyles of the rich and fabulous. While normal folks worked their 9 to 5, fashion folks attended Proenza Schouler's Ball collection luncheon in Beverly Hills. Like their beautiful designs, the Proenza boys give only the best to their VIP guests. Guests included Lisa Eisner, Vogue West Coast Editor Lisa Love, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Samantha Traina (seen left with McCollough). The collection of cool handbags and sculptural shoes are beyond beautiful. And leave it to the darlings to send each guest off in style with a beautiful leather clutch. Color me jealous!

Who Is the Best Dressed Mother/Daughter Combo?

Oh mommy dearest - I once shunned your fashion advice, but now I regularly seek it. As a young lassie, I assumed you knew little about style, but now I realize I learned much of what I know from you. If my endless shopping excursions with mom have helped my personal style and wardrobe, imagine what the splurge-fests for the daughters of Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld (Editor of Vogue Paris), Danielle Steel, and Demi Moore have done for them! It's obvious Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Bee Shaffer (Anna's daughter), Rumer Willis, and the Traina sisters (Danielle's kids) have oodles of expensive closets to choose from . . . but it all comes down to personal style. For me, Carine and Julia stand out because of their effortlessly cool Euro vibe. Who is the best dressed mother/daughter combo to you?
