Roland Mouret Takes You Front Row

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

It's official: live streaming runway shows are the hottest thing to do this season. Hot off the heels of Burberry Prorsum, Alexander McQueen - debuting today - and Twenty8Twelve's video foray is Roland Mouret. In conjunction with Fashionair.com, the designer will be streaming his Spring '10 runway show in Paris tomorrow, Oct. 7. "This is about taking the show and using it for what it should be - an amazing and immediate way for the consumer to see the collection," said Mouret.

In addition to viewing his show from a virtual front row seat, strategically placed cameras will allow us to experience the backstage action along with intimate interviews with Roland himself. While we eagerly await the action tomorrow, check out the site now to see what Roland had to say about his past Spring collection and why he dedicated it to his late father. Aw.

FABTV: Kylie Minogue, "Love at First Sight"

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 08:15:22 -0700

It's Kylie fever all over again. Kylie has graced FABTV a couple times, but it's been too long. She just kicked off her tour and I am kicking myself for not getting tickets. But I'll always have her kick-ass music videos; really, there are so many of them. "Love at First Sight" is classic Kylie singing and dancing for the camera; dig her sassy moves. She often has a futuristic vibe in her videos, which I love. Here she is spinning in a grid-graphic land, surrounded by robotic backup dancers - similar to the ones in "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Kylie is pretty casual here, cargo pants (with thong showing, hey, it was '02) and a white beater, but she's all about neon accents: an orange KM arm cuff, green eye shadow, and yellow pumps. And that single "K" earring - love at first sight.

FABTV: Carine Roitfeld Brings Chic to CNN

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Karl Lagerfeld loves Carine Roitfeld's coquettish attitude. Tom Ford still remembers an exceptionally fashionable outfit she wore almost a decade ago. Riccardo Tisci credits her for his success. Francois Henri Pinault (Salma Hayek's hubby) picks her brain regularly. These are just some of the fun tidbits shared in CNN's three-part documentary of the French Vogue editor. My most surprising discovery? How downright humble she is in an industry where egos are growing by the minute. Watch Part 1 as cameras follow an impeccably dressed Carine throughout days at the French Vogue offices and while she attends the latest Couture Week - more specifically, the shows of Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Givenchy, and Maison Martin Margiela.

FABTV: The Masthead With Marie Claire

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:06:51 -0800

We all know what goes on inside an issue of Marie Claire, but now we can witness what happens inside the inside. The Masthead With Marie Claire is a video series that goes behind the scenes of the publication's photo shoots to reveal styling and beauty secrets. Editor in Chief Joanna Coles narrates and other editors divulge the logic behind their fashion editorial decisions. In this particular episode, we get inside info about a tribute shoot for the late Yves Saint Laurent. Joanna shares interesting tidbits, including that they not only pulled YSL clothing but also pieces by other designers who were inspired by him. The camera also follows photographer Kevin Sinclair as he works to get the money shots.

FABTV: Halston Fall '09 Presentation

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:00:08 -0800

While most designers continue to use catwalk shows for their Fall collections, Halston is taking a road less traveled, literally. It has transformed the streets of New York City into a runway in this three-minute Fall '09 video presentation. Model Dree Hemingway is seen running, slow motion, down a wet, rainy block, wearing a glamorous yellow chiffon Halston evening gown. Each block lends flavor; a newsstand, five-star hotel, a high-end boutique, and paparazzi cameras all capture the decadence of a transient era. Ironically, a few blocks into her run, Dree passes a runway show. Now, sit back and rejoice in having a front-row seat to Halston's Fall '09 show.

FABTV: Chanel Iman TV

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:00:22 -0800

Chanel Iman fans, how lucky are we? The model has joined YouTube and is bringing us Chanel Iman TV so we can get to know her better. So far, she's made five short videos that provide a candid glimpse into her life and fun personality. They include Chanel thanking her fans, being silly with friends, fixing her hair early in the morning, and taking a flight to California. My favorite is when she gives her mom an '80s makeover before a shoot (below). So cute. I hope she'll take her camera backstage at fashion shows and at more photo shoots so we can get a peek into her professional life as well.

FABTV: "My Name Is William Rast, and This Is My Life"

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

The Justin Timberlake William Rast videos, with model Erin Wasson as girlfriend and partner-in-crime, are unfolding. Here are three, back-to-back, to help you get to know William Rast. Timberlake will be performing twice during Fashion Week - at Fashion Rocks and his William Rast runway show. JT is trying to get in with the fashion folks for sure.

For me, William and lover kinda fall flat. Is it me or are they trying too hard? Too hard to be cool? They look great on camera, duh, and the cinematography is eerily interesting. But the smoking, swearing, cuts and bruises, rugged styles, and foreshadowing of a doomed relationship are too obvious. I hope the remaining videos are more action-packed and we see what kind of trouble these two beautiful people get into. Also, the lighting is dark and moody; makes for a dramatic effect but we can't really see the clothes.

FABTV: Madonna "Cherish"

FabSugar — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:34:33 -0700

Madonna is a frequent visitor on FABTV but never has she been so upbeat than in this sing-a-long song. I love how Madonna manages to be sensual and not overtly sexual in her wet shirtdress and boy cut. While the mermen's glistening bodies are nice, my favorite bits are Madonna hamming it up for the camera. She looks like she's having so much fun rolling around in the waves and flirting with us. No surprise this black-and-white video was directed by Herb Ritts, who also directed my favorite Janet Jackson video. It's Summer Fabbies? Cherish the joy.
