Fab Ad: Dolce & Gabbana Has Floral Fun, Fall '10

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:50:28 PDT

All the world's a stage for Dolce & Gabbana and its models are decked out in some seriously stylin' clothes. Vlada Roslyakova, Olga Sherer, Zuzana Gregorova, Regina Feoktistova, and Kamila Filipcikova do a stellar job showing off the designers' latest ready-to-wear. One part of the collection is spunky - bright frocks, floral headpieces, leopard prints, skin-tight silhouettes, sheer lace, sparkles - while the other is all about subdued hues, cozy knits, and demure cuts. One thing they have in common: They all feature heavy, dramatic maroon curtains in the back. Can you dig it?

Double Take: Michael Kors Gets Inspired by Balenciaga

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:00:22 PDT

Can you blame Michael Kors for drawing inspiration from Balenciaga's Fall collection for his 2009 Resort line? I can't. Nicolas Ghesquière's collection, especially this particular black cut-out dress on Natasha Poly, was so cutting edge, heck, I would be inspired by it if I were a designer. While many of you may think it's weird for one designer to copy another so blatantly, it's completely acceptable in fashion. I mean, hello, there isn't a soul who hasn't copied Yves Saint Laurent's "Le Smoking" tuxedo suit! Kors made the dress, worn by model Vlada Roslyakova, his own by being more subtle with his cut-out shoulders, and by choosing a blue, abstract floral design. When it comes to fashion-forward designs, I say, the more the merrier.

Fab Face: Vlada Roslyakova

You may not be able to pronounce her Russian last name, but it's to your benefit to memorize Vlada Roslyakova's face because you'll be seeing it around for a long time.

She was born July 8, 1987 as Elena Roslyakova, but she changed her name to Vlada so that she wouldn't be confused with fellow model Elena Rosenkova.

Though formerly working in Asia, Vlada became world famous in 2005 when she started booking jobs for Moschino Cheap & Chic, Calvin Klein, and Nina Ricci. What sets her apart is her unique walk - she tends to lean back - and her baggy blue eyes. Vlada is beautiful, but her fair skin and moody eyes keep her from being typical. And you know Fab is all about the atypical!

Style For Style: Buh-Bye Legwear Bulges

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:00:22 PDT

Russian model Vlada Roslyakova is wearing tights, but you don't see any side bulges, aka love handles, distracting from her look. Well, in her case, it's probably because she doesn't have any, but what are we mere mortals supposed to do when our legwear elastic digs into our skin, giving us those nasty, lady lumps?

To see how to eliminate ugly legwear bulges,

read more Do the following to all your bulge-causing tights, especially the ones with control tops:

Wear your tights with nothing over them, and stand in front of a mirror.
Grab a pair of scissors, to start the process.
Take the scissor and make a small slit on either side of your tights. You can make the slit as small or big, depending on how tough the elastic is. Usually making a slit on one side is sufficient, but if the elastic is still causing bulges, slit the other side as well.

The point is to tear the slit until all bulges are eliminated. Just be careful not to make the tear too big, as you don't want your tights falling down or ruined. Good luck and say bon voyage to bulge! Source
