2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Return of the One Piece

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:30:22 -0700

Perfect timing. After this Summer, I decided I need a new one piece. Though I am a skimpy bikini girl at heart, there are times when a one piece is in order. Be it a swanky pool party or chillin' poolside with the fam, the return of the one piece is upon us. Brian Reyes sent out delicate seersuckers, Derek Lam posh loungers, even sexy fashion beast Herve Leger turned down the volume with a printed baby-blue laser-cut suit. If anyone can prove one pieces can be equally as sexy as two, it's Michael Kors and his clear plastic cut-out noir creation. If only I could have that model's chiseled cheekbones, too . . .

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week Fab Roundup! Part 4

FabSugar — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:02:22 -0700

New York Fashion Week is always a whirlwind, and it's important to stop and smell the fashion roses. In my final roundup, soak up sleek styles from Tommy Hilfiger, edgy chic by Kimberly Ovitz, and pretty musings by Erin Fetherston. Phi (pictured) was my final show - front row Traina spotting! - and it was every bit irreverent as expected. And the shoes, lace up booties fit for Burning Man, had editors whispering in the exiting elevator. Source: Getty

On Our Radar: Tommy Hilfiger Designs a Philanthropic Bag

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:00:22 -0700

If you're wondering where in the world Tommy Hilfiger and Helena Christensen are, they're in Italy. The model/photographer is helping the designer promote his limited-edition bag at his flagship store in Milan. Half of the $452 bag, here on Christensen, will be donated to nonprofit organization Breast Health International along with proceeds from an auction of some of Christensen’s photography and works from Hilfiger’s private art collection. Find a Tommy Hilfiger store near you and donate to the cause if you have the means.

Fab Ad: Tommy Hilfiger Spring '09

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:00:22 -0700

We can always count on Tommy Hilfiger for a patriotic ad campaign. For Spring '09, the designer branched out from the usual iconic American landscapes and showed us his love for urban city life. “This campaign is slightly more upbeat than seasons past and shows a renewed optimism and attitude about the brand,” said the brand's VP of global marketing, Avery Baker.

Shot at various locales in LA such as Malibu and Sunset Strip, models Shannan Click and Missy Rayder look fresh and carefree wearing Hilfiger's palette of red, white, and blue. The occasional pops of yellow are a warm addition and I'm loving Tommy's crisp cuts. The models' cherry red lips and Hollywood shades are also a nice touch. Americana looks easy and fun through Tommy's eyes. What do you see?

Fab Gift Guide: Gossip Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 03:00:08 -0800

I bet you have a friend or family member who's obsessed with Gossip Girl. I figured. This wannabe Blair Waldorf wishes she had the characters' lives, but since that's unlikely, their stuff will have to do.

This Hat Attack Wool Beret with Leather Bow ($45) will appeal to any preppy-chic girl in your life. It will make her feel like she's in NYC's Upper East Side, even in her bedroom. Fabulous.

Trend Alert: Go Graphic or Go Home

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

My favorite Spring collection was Dries Van Noten. Graphic prints were an integral part of the eclectic collection. These calculated prints command attention and are stimulating to the eye. Celebrities have already dabbled in this cool trend and it's only going to grow. If you want to be ahead of the curve, go graphic or go home. What's more, circular and angular graphic prints stand alone - you can pair down the rest of your look. Fergie, in Tommy Hilfiger, funked up her graphic print dress with layered bracelets and blue suede sandals, while Tilda Swinton was purely polka doted in her silky Lanvin.

Behind the Seams: 2008 Macy's Passport Fashion Show

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

While this year's Macy's Passport Fashion Show didn't bring out Dita von Teese like it did last year, it did again showcase some fabulous fashions, talented dancers, and live music. Designer Tommy Hilfiger, drummer Adrian Young from No Doubt, and vastly talented male dancers were all present to help to raise funds and awareness for over 10 HIV/AIDS organizations. The night was broken up into sections: Iconic America with Tommy Hilfiger's designs; Dark Shadows with all-black clothes; Figment of Your Imagination with hip-hop-inspired gear; Brighton Rocks with punky cool Ben Sherman duds; Calvin Klein; Levi's; INC; and Ed Hardy. My favorites were Iconic America and Dark Shadows.

One of the models in the Dark Shadows section even wore my caged Jeffrey Campbell shoes! While the women's fashions were fun to look at, and made me want to go out and shop, what really made my heart skip a beat or two were the male dancers and the male models who strutted the catwalk in their undies. Blush.

To see what went down at this year's Macy's Passport Fashion Show, read more.

On Our Radar: Tommy Hilfiger Happy Holidays Collection

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

It's the holidays, and grandma is enjoying her retirement on some faraway island enjoying the cool sea breeze. Thus, no time to knit a holiday sweater.

Well, if you've been good this year, Santa might gift you with a snazzy piece from Tommy Hilfiger's new Happy Holidays collection. The exclusive clothing and accessories line is filled with festively tasteful items such as this sequined shift dress, along with cozy cashmere jumpers, soft leather belts, and gloves.

"Giving a gift is a wonderful feeling, and this collection has the style, quality, and unique twist needed to provide many precious moments, as well as gifts to treasure all year round," says Hilfiger.

The Holiday collection will be available in stores and online at www.tommy.com in November.

Cheap & Chic: Nautical Navy & White

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:00:11 -0700

While Gabrielle Union's infectious smile draws me in, her nautical navy and white Laila Azhar dress keeps me there. The Summer season calls for sailing and sailing calls for a nautical outfit. Whether or not you partake in the water games, wear yourself a nautical navy and white ensemble because it's refined and refreshing. If a nighttime activity sounds more up your stream than daytime sailing, follow Gabrielle and pick a polished nautical outfit that will look appropriate on land, when the sun goes down.

Trend Alert: Pretty Paisley

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Paisley print can be dorky, but both famous Kates - Hudson and Bosworth - show us that it doesn't have to be. Not only does Kate not look dorky here, she oozes sophisticated cool in her black and white tonal pretty paisley sheath. The best quality about paisley is that it comes in all sizes and colors, so it's not an alienating trend like, say, sheer. Dorky? Pssh. Pretty.
