2010 Fall NYFW Trend: Cocoon Cozy

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:00:22 -0800

Fall is always about bundling up, but Fall 2010 ditched ladylike and attacked extreme coziness - cocoon cozy, to be exact. Phillip Lim kept his sweaters cropped with extra long sleeves, Rad Hourani took his collars up, way up, and the Rodarte sisters opted for light colors and major fuzz. Other knits were oversized, and included rounded hems and large hoodies.

FabTV: What's Fab First Look, Yigal Azrouël Fall Fashion Week 2010

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 08:58:46 -0800

Yigal Azrouël's 2010 Fall runway collection was a mix of moods: soft and sexy draping juxtaposed with structured suit leg silhouettes, a muted neutral palette accented by a punch of color, and a play on masculine and feminine forms. According to Azrouël, the hybrid of different garments and fabrics creates new silhouettes and pseudo layers for Fall.

2010 Fall New York: Yigal Azrouel

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:00:22 -0800

Yigal always delivers it. Cool, constructed, casually sexy. For Fall, he honed in on tailoring. Concurrently, he played with new fabrications and colors. Just when the runway was seeming sedate, Azrouel sent out a one-sleeved Swarovski-emblazoned black minidress and glittering brown sheer blouse. Long-sleeved fluid maxi dresses were also stunning, in the utmost understated way. These appeared in rouge, gris, and a gorgeous purple pansy; sexy banded back details were killer. Eclectic touches like circuitry embroidery, peplums, pinstripes, and varitextured sleeves triggered interest. No Yigal collection is complete without perfect trousers and die-hard leather jackets. And can someone please tell me who sang the last runway song?! Was it The Kooks? . . .

Trend Alert: Big, Bodacious Shawls

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:00:22 -0800

The icy winds have spawned a flurry of cozy trends. First, there were amazing ponchos, and then sweater coats. Next up, we have big, bodacious shawls. How awesome does Gwen look standing alongside her musician hubbie in a long, draped shawl? This cover-up will not only keep her warm all Winter long, it'll also keep her steady stylish. In fact, Rihanna wore an awesome one by Yigal Azrouel last week, too. It's all about maximum impact with this one: the longer, the bigger, the better.

Celeb Style: Halle Berry

Halle Berry joined Nicole Richie at the March of Dimes annual Celebration of Babies event in LA over the weekend. While Nicole opted for a boho maxi, Halle looked sexy sleek in a navy blue Yigal Azrouel number and smokey suede pumps. I love the way the dress melts over her curves and shows just enough cleavage. A diamond bracelet, diamond-studded earrings, and a delicate necklace provide the right amount of sparkle.

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Naranja

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:56:05 -0700

Though I don't have a lot of it in my closet (do any of us?), I quite enjoy naranja, aka orange. It's optimistic, energizing, youthful - it is FitSugar's color, after all. Amongst all the white, neutrals, and grays of Spring, orange stood out to me at once. Red is Fall's favorite fiery hue, so it's no surprise its tangy sister has stepped in for Spring. Diane von Furstenberg didn't hold back - Chanel Iman is double layered in orange goodness. In need of a new outlook on life? Nibble on some naranja.

Trend Alert: Rad Black Ruching

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

What's rad? Ruching, that's what. It's an ancient sewing technique, and it's flattering powers are undeniable. Especially when it comes to a sexy, hot LBD with rad black ruching. If you don't already have one of these quick fix, every-occasion frocks, I suggest you consider. Look at how stunning Emmy Rossum looks in her architectural Emanuel Ungaro; she doesn't show a lot of skin, but it's somehow seriously sexy. OK, her black gladiator Stuart Weitzman sandals may have something to do with it too . . .

I don't know what it is about Yigal Azrouel. I have always coveted his creations; they're so effortless, worldly, and feminine. To add to the designers splendor, he has launched a charity eBay store selling women and men's Summer pieces for way below retail prices. What's more, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Starting today at 7PST and through June 19, bid on wonderfully draped dresses, colorful separates, and cool denim. If you want a small piece of the action, Yigal designed an exclusive eco-friendly $35 tee, proceeds also benefiting the NRDC.
