FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Stephen Jones has taken a role in the highly anticipated film, Coco Before Chanel featuring Audrey Tautou. The sought-after milliner, who has designed head pieces for some of the top fashion houses including Mugler, Gaultier, and Christian Dior, will be creating hats for our little French Fabcon in the upcoming biopic.

"She will make a wonderful Chanel, she is equally as petite. We have had to adjust everything. We put a little flower on her head and it looked like a cushion," said Jones. We can't wait to see his millinery madness!

Which Night of Stars Attendee Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

A bevy of gorgeous gals came out to celebrate Fashion Group International's 26 Annual Night of Stars. From 54-year-old Iman to 22-year-old Evan Rachel Wood, all of the ladies looked ravishing in their red carpet duds. Unsurprisingly, Dita von Teese was the most dramatic with her astral Stephen Jones headpiece, but the rest stunned with their gowns. I know which one's my favorite; which one's yours?

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Marc Jacobs

Not only was Marc inspired by early Americana - he masterminded the colors, fabrics, jewels and accessories. For Marc's re(marc)able Spring, there were also goofy shoes, mismatched prints, Stephen Jones-designed boater hats, obi belts, and wackadoodle bags. There was also an elegant vaudeville feel, and are those shoulder pads I see? The mirror panels up and down the runway were reminiscent of a fun house - a fashion fun house. I love it when Marc goes maximum, and not minimum. Fab sightings included Jennifer Lopez (in white Roland Mouret), Winona Ryder, Rachel Zoe (we chatted, more on that later), Kelly Osbourne, Nicole Richie in a rhinestone hippie headband, Sofia Coppola, and Lauren Hutton. Not only was the event a circus, the catwalk was, too.9:10 p.m.: “Ladies and gentleman please take your seats, we are about to begin the show.” I honestly think Marc is still trying to make up for lost time (show time was 9 p.m.). People were running to get their seats, it was slightly sardine-like.

The clothes: fantastical, colorful, and confused. Suits and separates were mismatched, and all cinched, gathered and bustled with cloth obi belts. Metallic brocade, plaid, and stripes were all whipped together; silhouettes were all over the place, draping was key. And the shoes - which model Jordan Dunn post-show asked me if I noticed - were wonderfully experimental. There was no black in sight until the end, when some stunning dresses appeared, one favorite adorned with gold safety pins at the bodice. This collection was controlled chaos. I spoke of the hats, and stacked bangles and architectural necklaces were added fun. Fun fashion house.

Spring Peek: Headgear

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 04:22:33 -0800

Keeping up with my hat kick, headgear was an interesting trend for Spring 2007. At Derek Lam (shown) graphic patterned scarves were wrapped around the head creating colorful turbans. Other designers experimented with thick, layered headbands and babushka-like concoctions. Marc Jacobs collaborated with Stephen Jones to create metallic caps for his namesake collection and rosette corsages for Louis Vuitton. If you want to top off your look with something unique this Spring, invest in some headgear. Get prepped for Spring with my other Spring Peeks.
