Is Steve Madden as Creative as Prada?

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:00:22 -0800

I was reading a Steve Madden Q&A in WWD when one of the shoe designer's responses stopped me dead in my clicks: "We design shoes every day, and we are as creative as Prada." Interesting, go on. "Do we make $900 shoes that are in Neiman Marcus? Have we made shoes just like that, which are less than $100 and have been great? Yes, we have . . . That creativity is not appreciated, and I would argue that what we do is harder. I could design an $800 shoe line; it’s easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It’s easier than making great shoes for $90."

Quite the bold statements, ones I'm sure Prada and Chloé would be interested to hear. This begs the question: Do you think Steve Madden is as creative as Prada despite the vast price and quality differences?

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:00:08 -0800

Allow me to introduce glamlatte, aka farmers market cutie. I admire her fashion drive; just because she's at the market doesn't mean she's going to dress fuddy-duddy. Overall her outfit is chill, but the black blazer and nude pumps lend a hint of luxe.

Here's what she has on:

Jacket: H&M
Top: Blue Heaven
Jeans: American Eagle
Shoes: Dolce Vita
Bag: 49 Square Miles
Sunglasses: Steve Madden

Congrats to glamlatte!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Trend Alert: Mortal Combat

Props to Nicky Hilton for thinking outside the umbrella. Instead of wearing the per-usual pair of galoshes during the wet season, the cutie donned funky mortal combat boots. Such footwear is ideal in slippery conditions and looks amazing with simple leggings or skinny jeans. I love how she completed her look with a tweed boyfriend blazer and oversize Ray-Ban sunnies. The best part? Come Summer, you can wear these tough boots with flirty floral frocks or cut-off shorts. Ready to kick some fashion ass?

Rachel enjoyed a ladies' night out at Madeo in LA looking utterly chic in cool separates. Check out how she paired a gorgeous ivory tweed jacket with a draped tunic and over-the-knee boots. Her accessories, comprised of a gold and pearl Chanel necklace, jeweled cuff, gold watch, and patent clutch, finish her fantastic fervor.

It's been a while since we've gotten a visit from The Hills cutie Lo Bosworth. She was spotted at LA's Guys and Dolls Lounge sporting an ensemble that's part cool girl, part sassy sailor. Those high-waist sailor shorts are sexy, while her nude bomber jacket injects mild color and tough attitude. A Chanel bag adds ultimate class.

Diane Kruger may be Red Carpet Queen of '09, but girl has also got street style skills. While doing some last-minute holiday shopping in Beverly Hills, the actress remained cozy cute in a gray waffle sweater, casual tee, and black leggings. Patent flats soothed her feet, while a tan chain-handle bag kept her hands-free. I wonder if it's her sweetie Josh she's talking to!

Celeb Style: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman stole the show last night at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in NYC wearing an ombre sequin dress by Proenza Schouler. I like how it injects a fresh edge to her good girl persona while peep-toe pumps hone in her sweetness. Art deco Kwiat earrings, ring, and diminutive Judith Leiber disco ball bag complete her shimmering ensemble.

Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.
