W Hotels Get Into Fashion

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:00:08 -0700

W Hotel is no longer just your go-to place for lodging. It's now also going to be your go-to spot for fashion. The hospitality chain just announced it's launching a fashion line made up of apparel and accessories. Designers such as Alex and Ani, Foley + Corina, Lauren Merkin, VIX, and Wink have been tapped as designers. "W is a design-led brand, therefore fashion is a tool to engage our guests in design. The people we're after are trendsetters and fashion-forward. We have a passion for fashion," said Eva Ziegler, global brand leader of W. The line, dubbed Global Glam, will be introduced on Sept. 10 at Fashion's Night Out.

Simply Fab: W Hotels/CFDA 2009 Calendar

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:00:08 -0800

If you need a 2009 calendar, let me suggest the most fashionable out there: the W Hotels/CFDA 2009 Calendar ($15). What makes this more special than others? For one, it's designed to look like a sketchbook, includes blank sketch pages, and has room to hold a pencil.

Coolest part, 12 designers, - Diane von Furstenberg, the Rag & Bone boys, Victoria Bartlett - were asked to contribute an exclusive image that has inspired their creative process. Plus, 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the CFDA Foundation. I can't think of one reason not to buy this calendar.

Celebrity Style: Michelle Trachtenberg

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:58:41 -0800

Michelle Trachtenberg knows that the simplicity of a draped dress can go a long way. To fete the opening of the the W hotel in Atlanta, the actress contrasted her milky complexion with a sophisticated silver Catherine Malandrino dress and deco accessories. I like how the embellished belt adds interest to her subdued palette. A bejeweled satin clutch by Swarovski, dainty black sandals, and rhinestone earrings complete her cunning look.

Catherine Malandrino - Women's Silver Silk w/ Stones Dress - $495.00	Iganga - $70.00
Merona Rhinestone Brooch Box Clutch - Black - $7.50	Sterling Silver Two-Tone Onyx Drop Earrings - $250.00
Striped Enamel Ring - $3.80

Simply Fab: Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Emergency Kit

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Did you gals know that the W Hotel has an online store chock full of cute items? One of my favorite things up for grabs is this Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Emergency Kit, $320. It includes, you guessed it, a DVF black wrap dress, a thong and a garment bag. You know, for one of those times when that jerk spills red wine on your white dress.

Fret not: all you'll have to do is bust the kit out of your suitcase and slip it on for a quick change. Poof! It's fashion magic minus the cheesy top hat and wand.
