Wow! That's all I can say about Jaime and her outfit of choice. She looks so sophisticated in her new motherhood! I love the dropped waist and the slinkiness of this black beaded art nouveau number by St. John couture. Are you wowed as much as I am?

Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.

Helmut Lang Powder-Print Dress - $520.00	Apt. 9® Opaque Microfiber Control-Top Tights - $10.00
Steven By Steve Madden Women's Brinda Ankle Boot - $179.95	Jimmy Choo 'Ubai' Snake Embossed Leather Clutch - $595.00
Alexis Bittar 'Silver Dust' Lucite® Ring - $175.00

If you know nouveau Balmain, you're familiar with its luxe, rocker aesthetic, and even more ferocious collection of footwear. Thanks to Balmain’s Christophe Decarnin, the Paris fashion house will get even bigger - if that's even possible – with recent collaborations. Balmain took its three-year relationship with Giuseppe Zanottti and signed an official women’s footwear license with the shoe designer. New to come is an upcoming capsule collab with eyewear expert Oliver Peoples, along with the possibility of a men's shoe line. “He is the master of arts, deus ex machina,” said Balmain's chief executive, Hivelin.

Balmain is said to have around 20 licenses all over the world, including scarves, small leather goods, and ties. In addition, its flagship boutique in Paris will undergo a complete art deco-inspired renovation next month, featuring chimneys transplanted from chateaus around France and authentic Louis XIV or XV parquet flooring – wow. Get ready for total, utter Balmania!!!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Mara Hoffman

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Here is a Spring collection that delivered some punch. Never one to shy away from bold prints, sexy cuts and flowing hemlines, you could tell Mara had fun with this one. Inspired by Birds of Paradise, in a forbidden garden to boot, the prints conjure up images of peacocks, art nouveau and simply - the tropics! Not for the shy, with necklines down to there, and hemlines up to here, these dramatic dresses and separates aim to please the hot weather jet-setter. Flowing fabrics of silk chiffon, charmeuse and jersey elegantly draped bodies; colors were a cocktail of brights. The crowd was into it and we were all left fantasizing about our next hot getaway.

I also nabbed a few minutes with Mara to talk about her collection and herself - she was really sweet and clearly thrilled about the outcome of her new collection!

To read my exclusive interview with Mara and to see the rest of her Spring collection, read more

A successful collection is...
A perfect collaboration with my design partner, Klee VanSchoonhoven, and watching everything coming together and being really happy with the way everything turned out.

Style Icon?
Bianca Jagger

Key piece from the collection?
The silk blue flower jumpsuit. I just love jumpsuits and it's so fun.

If we looked in your closet we would see a lot of...
White button down shirts stolen from my husband, comfy pants and loungewear.

One wardrobe staple every woman should have?
A pair of killer boots that is right for them and seasonless.

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Roberto Cavalli

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:35:43 -0800

Hot stuff! The Fall Roberto Cavalli collection gave me a nice afternoon awakening. There is no doubt as to why Cavalli is a red carpet favorite....

Flowing, sexed up gowns belted at the waist, in addition to a low plunging neckline, are fan worthy. The warm tones made for a happy, sunshiney runway. Opulence was abundant with leather, fur, reptile skins, silk and leopard prints. An awesome art nouveau print was a lovely addition. There was a Grecian touch, as well as 70s and 80s seduction and power dressing. There were many metallics but this is one collection where I didn't mind it because it just works with the raw sensuality of Cavalli. Interesting to note: I thought this was a glammed up version of the Marc Jacobs Fall show with the Yves Saint Laurent references and bold suiting - Does anyone agree?

I have one issue though: jodhpurs? This is one fashion item that does not play well on this runway!
