Angela Lindvall Reveals Her Organic Tree Shadows

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Beauty and eco-prowess, now that's what I call a model citizen. Model Angela Lindvall has been living the green life, and now we can live in her efforts. She teamed up with yoox.com’s environmentally sustainable project YOOXYGEN and created a limited edition 100 percent organic cotton EDUN tee. Lindvall’s design is derived from her vision of the environment: “My shirt was created from the shadows of trees. Our shadow side is what sometimes pushes us to grow.” Starting June 30, check out yoox's "ever.green" collections of eco-friendly tees covering themes of design, music, and fashion for both men and women, designed by celebrities. A percentage of proceeds are being donated to Green Cross International, an environmental non-governmental organization.

Trend Alert: Sorbet Blazers

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Like the ice cream, sorbet blazers are sweet, sticky, and just right for Summer. Notice how these colorful blazers make a crisp statement without going overboard. The trick to pulling this off is pairing it with a simple bottom and minimal accessories. Look to sizzling hot Ciara for inspiration. The budding stylista paired her pink blazer with a white tee, blue jeans, and hoops for a refreshing yet refined look. Delish.

Somehow, Yoox founder Federico Marchetti convinced legendary style icon Rosamond Bernier to sell her vintage collection. "Stars from my wardrobe became ‘sleeping beauties’ in my closet. Then Marchetti came along like the Prince in the fairy-tales, to touch them with his electronic wand and waft them off to the vast world of the Internet,” said Bernier. Her distinct collection is currently at Yoox.com for all to admire and purchase.

The collection includes a delectable array of one-of-a-kind pieces from Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, and Kenneth Jay Lane.

On Our Radar: Yoox.com To Sell Vintage Dior

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Many online boutiques would kill to get their hands on vintage Dior, but yoox.com's founder, Federico Marchetti, made it actually happen, blood-free.

It all started last summer when Federico purchased a black and white 1967 cocktail Christian Dior haute couture cocktail dress owned by '40s actress Maria Félix. The splurge urged him to revisit the designer's work . . . and the rest, as they say, is history.

Starting June, about 100 vintage Dior items will be sold, ranging from $1,125 all the way up to $9,990. A team of fashion experts traveled far and wide to find pieces spanning the history of the house, from Christian Dior himself, to Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré, and John Galliano.
