Golden Globe Awards Trend Alert: Wicked Waist Details

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:07:55 -0800

This season, the ladies of the Golden Globes were all about wicked waist details. This special detailing lends instant interest to the midsection and can also break up a busy print. Waist details take the form of belts, large embellishments, or can even come preset like Olivia Wilde's dreamy Reem Acra gown, seen left. Notice how the cinched detail and jeweled embellishment gives Wilde's look an extra oomph. Click through to see who else worked wicked waist details at the Golden Globes. Source

Fab Community — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Here's a fun post frugalfashion22 shared in The Frugal Fashionista group.

It’s holiday time and you know what that means: shopping for party dresses. This season I decided I want to show a little skin. What better way to do it than with an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress? I’ve found three show-stoppers all for $100 or less! This dress from T-Bags is sure to make a statement at your party. Made of a stunning gold jacquard fabric, it features a large asymmetrical bow across the bust area. The bubble skirt and empire waist will give you an instant sexy hourglass silhouette. And you won't believe the price - originally $335, it’s now 70% off, and yours for $100. Find it at theoutnet.com.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:15:59 -0700

When the runway is red and the invite has a threaded red stripe through it, does that promise a red-hot collection? When it's Phillip Lim it does. As expected, Lim's first couple looks were red - a lipstick-red double-breasted shirt jacket and roll-down waist pants, a slick red rain trench, red crystal sunglasses (have to have those). But Lim knows you can have too much of a good thing and quickly switched to cool gray knits and his favorite tomboyish shorts, cardis, and button downs.

Unordinary details like "illusion" bow fasteners, embellished belts, and collaged textures separated Lim from the rest. And then came the sparkle. Bronze and silver sequin panels on accordion pleat dresses and a straight-up silver sequin shirt dress surely sent front rowers Lauren Conrad and Leighton Meester's hearts aflutter. And the finale dress, on death-staring Karlie Kloss: ivory lace tiered "compilation" dress with abstract cubist sculptural organza appliqué. The mirrors at the entrance of the runway made Karlie appear to be strutting through the looking glass . . .

Belts can complete a gown on the red carpet. We spied quite a few of these finishing touches on the Oscars red carpet. Some belts blended in while others stood out. SJP's provided a smart detail over the intricate beading of her Dior couture gown. Ultimately, a belt helps emphasize one's womanly waist. What's not to love? Source

2009 Spring Couture: Chanel

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Karl was on a strict diet of black, white, and paper when designing Spring couture. I'm predicting white is about to be the color du jour, thanks to Michelle Obama's dreamy Jason Wu gown. As always, Karl was psychic. His designs may have been scaled down, but they were anything but streamlined. Cuts were sharp or voluminous, shoulders and waists were punctuated, and details were both in-your-face and obscure.Varied beading techniques were used, exhibiting the keen craftsmanship of couture. Flower appliques were whimsical, black and white floral motifs were flirtatious. Elaborate head pieces added drama. Separates were aplenty for those watching their wallets. There was no high drama here, but there was plenty to keep couture costumers quenched.
