Kind of a Big Deal? Victoria Beckham in Flats!

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:00:22 -0800

Stop the presses - Victoria Beckham is wearing flats. True, she is en route at Heathrow Airport, but that doesn't usually stop our high heel devotee from teetering through customs. You may recall she once said she never wears flats. Never say never (one of my favorite quotes). She may not feel as powerful, but she still looks darn cute in her navy shift, black tights, signature sunnies, and black Birkin. Is this kind of a big deal? Might VB be loosening up her fashion ways?

Europe Fights to Ban Fashion Airbrushing

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:04:52 -0800

Europeans are taking a major stand against airbrushing in fashion photography. Following a proposed law that would require all retouched photos be labeled, Europeans are now demanding a ban on all ads featuring digitally altered models targeting girls under 16 years old.

This follows a report that found "a correlation between unhealthy behavior in adolescents who are exposed to images of skinny, airbrushed models."

“The weight of the evidence . . . shows that thin, ‘perfected’ media images have a detrimental effect on how girls and women think and feel about their own bodies," said Dr. Helga Dittmar of the University of Sussex, one of the authors of the report.

Interesting; do you think the US should take a stand on airbrushed photography, too?

Best of 2009: Trend of the Year

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:30:08 -0800

Leggings have been around for a while, but in 2009, they made a mad comeback. Face it: everywhere you turned, limbs were dolled up in leggings. Some basic, a few crazy, many cropped, lots of long. Jeggings even had their own cult following and outshone regular denim. Catwalks, streets, malls, and boutiques all embraced the comfy chic trend. Long live the legging!

FabSugar Exclusive! Mouret Mentions Victoria Beckham, Muses, and Oprah

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:50:22 -0800

It was about a year ago that Roland Mouret and Victoria Beckham were supposedly in cahoots. It was a flicker of gossip, right around when Victoria Beckham was launching her namesake label. After we talked to Monsieur Mouret about his most recent Rainbow collection, we talked a bit about his famous relationship with the driven celebrity designer. Then, he brought up another accomplished woman: Oprah! But, take note, neither lady is his muse. Here's what went down . . .

You were a big influence on Victoria Beckham.

She’s a friend of mine. I respect her for what she’s doing. I think she’s fighting to do a job. Her clothes are really well made. I like what she’s doing. When she started she wanted to have some information. I introduced her to the factory, it was an old little factory of mine, she needed some people to work for her, all the people that worked for me in the past. After all, I’m happy with her collection.

To hear the rest, read more.

Who are your muses?

I don’t think like that. I don’t have muse with the women and I don’t have a muse with the men. What I’m getting is how we react to our society and what we like from the past, but what we want to adapt for the future. So far, you’ve seen the womenswear with shoulder pads and everyone said shoulder pads would never come back, and they came back. Or leggings . . .

Never say never.

That’s the interesting thing - it’s not to have a muse. I start out more with reflection of people or influence of people about their frustration or their ambition - what they hate about themselves or what they love about themselves and that’s my starting point. Mens is the same thing. It’s talking to women about what they think about men that I will create my menswear, more than to be inspired by someone, what’s in style, let’s be influenced by this person, it’s more I’m researching groups of different people and . . . I dress myself.

What are some current challenges for you?

Every project I start will be the same way - it’s trying to understand how to be creative, how to bring a product to the customer. I was watching a program yesterday about Oprah and I love her philosophy, she has such a sound philosophy, but she loves her product. But she was trying to find the balance. I find that quite fascinating. I think we are living in a world, where yes, we are trying to have a philosophy and trying to do the best with the world we live in and the people we are living around, but that need for the world to carry on, for business existing, is important and I think that’s where I find pure genius.
