Who Wore It Better? Azzedine Alaia Gray Full-Skirt Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Usually when two celebrities wear the same dress, they personalize it, say, with varying footwear. Such is not the case for Zoe Saldana and Doutzen Kroes. Both recently wore their Azzedine Alaia's gray full-skirt dress with Alaia's lace-up shoe boots - Zoe at the Star Trek premiere in London and Doutzen at the Cannes Film Festival. They also opted for long earrings, but Zoe chose a chunkier bracelet. Both look outstanding, but who wore it better?

I Love Your Shopstyle: Color Blocking

FabSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Color blocking is all about using your imagination. I love how phaeder8er interpreted this look by contrasting vibrant accessories against neutral dresses. Her outfits look amazing and it's also a smart translation on the trend without going overboard. I'm lusting over her infectious array of clutches, jewels, and heels - I'd like one of each, please.

I Love Your Shopstyle: Mermaid Illusions

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:50:00 -0700

You know what happens when you put together a mermaid and Coco Rocha? Perfection. I'm sure you can see why sachastar's underwater image has me suffering from major mermaid illusions. Her hues of pearl, ocean blue, and hot pink are spot on and I'm practically drooling over those Azzedine Alaia sandals. The only thing that's missing is me and my bikini. See, told you it was perfection.

This week the Obamas began their European tour. All eyes were on Michelle to see what she packed and loaded onto Air Force One. First stop: London, where the presidential couple met with Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah, as well as the Queen. Favorites like Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo made appearances, while a couple surprises ensued. Let's see Michelle's Euro style! P.S. France is next on the agenda. Can you imagine the fabulousness of Michelle and Carla Bruni chatting over croissants?

This Week's Fab Favorite: Alexis Bledel

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Here are some fun facts about Alexis we didn't know: her first language is Spanish, she is 5'7" (doesn't she look petite, though?), and her favorite band is Radiohead. Considering the fact that she looked smashing in a Mischen dress, Alaia heels, and a cool gold clutch at the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 premiere, atop those other fun facts, Alexis is bonafide Fab. I always thought she was adorable on Gilmore Girls - those blue eyes are amazing - but she just went up a few notches.

I like that even with a highly detailed dress she opted for eclectic accessories. The one shoulder and structure of the dress make it a stand out. You can't beat Alaia shoes - favored by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - and her criss-cross heels are slightly naughty, totally funky. The gold clutch is futuristic looking and her diamond studs are perfection. Pulling back her hair was a good call and bright pink lips are always scrumptious. Cute, cute and more c-ute.

Definition: Azzedine Alaïa

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 05:00:33 -0700

Azzedine Alaïa

Tunisian-born fashion designer, heyday in the 1980s. He briefly worked for Dior and Guy Laroche, and by the end of the 1960s had his own couture business on the Left Bank. Alaïa went on to produce the prototype for Yves Saint Laurent's famous Mondrian dress and also worked for Thierry Mugler. In the 1980s, his own stretchy dresses and bodysuits came to define the Lycra revolution.

Alaïa was referenced in the mid-90's teen hit Clueless. When mugged at gunpoint, Alicia Silverstone's character protests to kneeling in a parking lot because she is wearing one of the famous clingy dresses designed by the "totally important designer."

Today, the Olsens are huge Alaïa fans.

Who Wore It Better? Azzedine Alaia Ruffle Frock

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 16:30:33 -0700

Two ladies, two colors, one dress. Mariah wore her black Azzedine Alaia ruffle frock at the Fresh Air Fund's Salute to American Heroes event last weekend. Then Victoria wore her nude version during her interview with Matt Lauer earlier this week. My vote is for Posh who looks quite ladylike in her Alaia. Who do you think wore it better?

Founders of MonaMoore.com, Anna and Lisa, like so many of us, fantasize about shoes and handbags. They turned their fantasy into a reality with the opening of their Montreal-based boutique in Fall 2002. Lucky for us non-Canadians, in Fall 2004, their business went online. Four times a year, the duo travels to Paris, Milan and New York to bring us the crème de la crème in shoes and handbags. Their collection features styles from Dries Van Noten, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Lanvin, Ann Demeulemeester, Azzedine Alaia, Marni and many more.

They offer free shipping in North America and are happy to exchange and refund items if you're not highly satisfied. But that is quite unlikely because once you lay eyes on their goods, you'll never want to look away!
