A Few Fab Words With Heidi Klum(!)

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:57:41 PDT

Heidi Klum. Where to begin? From the beginning, I suppose. German born Klum is no longer just a model. She is a model, actress, TV presenter, fashion designer, television producer, singer, wife and mother. No wonder Klum continues to inspire so many. She started as a model and Victoria's Secret model - that body, that face - and worked her way into our hearts hosting Project Runway and embarked on fashion projects along the way, i.e., her jewelry line and collaborating with Jordache.

Now married to Seal and the mother of three, Heidi always has a smile on her face. That is what inspires me. She is hardworking, doesn't take things for granted and seems to be a very happy person. And so, we are so excited we got an exclusive interview with the multi-tasking model! Be sure to also read her beauty interview with Bella.

Can you describe your personal style and how it has evolved over the years?

I have always had a very unique sense of style. I love bright colors and bold prints that make a statement. When I was young I was all about be-dazzling! I would be-dazzle everything from jean jackets to bags. That love for glitz and glam has stayed with me over the years but has matured. In my everyday life comfort is very important. I love throwing on a classic pair of jeans with a cozy tank and flip flops, especially when running around with the kids.

To read the rest of our exclusive interview and to see some of my favorite Heidi moments,

Tell us about the creative process for creating your jewelry line.

I don’t have a formal technique for designing jewelry, I just let myself become inspired by everything around me - vintage designs, trips, etc. The jewelry also reflects my personal style and the pieces I love to wear.

You have a lot of fashion projects at the moment: jewelry, sunglasses, fragrance and Birkenstocks. Is there one that particularly satisfies you the most? If so, why?

I have always been a very creative person and love having a channel to express my ideas whether it is designing products for a label or just painting with my children. I don’t have a favorite project but my jewelry line is definitely the most extensive. I have a very high end collection that I design with Mouawad, a silver collection for QVC, and a Top Model and Project Runway collection based on pieces I have worn in the shows. I also just started selling on Skymall (a guilty traveling pleasure of mine).

Is there a Heidi Klum clothing line in the future?

I just created a 15-piece capsule collection for Jordache. It was inspired by some of my favorite pieces from my closet. I wanted all the designs to be comfortable mixed with a bit of sexiness.

What new and exciting things can we expect on the next season of Project Runway?

Project Runway is always a surprise. You never know what is going to happen next and that is what keeps the show fresh and interesting. Last year was a great season so we are definitely continuing to push the envelope with design challenges. You’ll just have to wait and tune in!

On Our Radar: Phillip Lim for Birkenstock

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:10:22 PDT

His line is not even two years old yet, but Phillip Lim just keeps going and going - not to mention you all voted him the FabSugar Designer of the Year last year! His first boutique opened last week on Mercer Street in New York, and he's got a plethora of other side projects in the works, including a collection for Birkenstock's fashion-forward line, Tatami.

"I've always been obsessed with Birkenstocks," he told The Fashion Informer. "My goal with this is to introduce... a series of urban, oh-so-cool old-school, but new hippie-chic sandals."

Sounds promising! I can't wait until September, when the line will be unveiled at his 3.1 Phillip Lim show. It is supposed to be carried at his new Mercer Street store, as well as at select Birkenstock retailers in Asia, Europe, and a few American markets, including in New York and L.A.

OnSugar Blog: Rules For the Stylish Mom

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:15:33 PDT

This inspirational post comes to us from OnSugar blogger Glamom, who offers some helpful hints for staying stylish on her blog Manolos, Manicures & Moms.

Let's be honest, chasing a small one all day long leaves little room for fashion inspiration and makes you lean toward living in PJs on your days off. I get it, I understand, but hell, I don't condone it. Having a kid doesn't mean your life is over, gaining a bit of post baby weight (even if 4 years later) doesn't mean we abandon ourselves. Maybe it is easier for me to say since I deal with clothing and personal style day in and day out with my clients but I have mom friends who do not work in the industry and still manage to look their best. So when I go off to pick up a few groceries and see a few moms in sweatpants and scrunchies, I get a bit bothered. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep you looking like the chica you were pre-baby, just tweeked a bit here and there because if I see another sandal and sock wearing (and I don't mean Miu Miu with socks, I mean, gulp...Birkenstock), hair roots that look like they haven't been touched since 1995 (exaggeration is good for the soul, sue me), and overalls that make Old McDonald look like a style king, I will flip!

She convinced you, right? We all want your tips, Glamom! Find her top five fashion suggestions for mamas on Manolos, Manicures & Moms. Create your own OnSugar blog, and you too could be featured on the homepage of LilSugar.

Ashley Olsen Models One of Her Most Expensive Creations

Allie Merriam — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:51:00 PDT

Ashley Olsen stepped out of NYC's Greenwich Hotel yesterday afternoon in matching jeans and top. She finished off the look with a pair of simple Birkenstocks, but her bag was the real head-turner - Ashley was carrying one of The Row's new handbags, specifically the most expensive item in the collection! Ashley has on the crocodile backpack that retails for over $39,000. Mary-Kate and Ashley had their sister Elizabeth there to celebrate as they launched the new sacs at Barneys earlier this month. It might be Elizabeth's turn to get fêted soon, since there are rumors she could play Carrie Bradshaw in the long-speculated-about prequel to Sex and the City.

Celeb Style: Ashley Olsen's Eclectic-Boho

Hannah Weil — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 10:43:05 PDT

Croc tote with Birkenstocks? If you're Ashley Olsen, there are no rules to what you can mix and match. That's why we never tire of Ashley Olsen's outfits. Her latest channels an easy, boho aesthetic - with a few signature quirks. While out in NYC, Ashley dressed up a knit tunic with a summery, tribal print skirt. Black Birkenstock sandals are a natural accompaniment to the look, as are the long beads, but the surprise comes from a luxe tote from her line The Row and a pair of oversize Prada shades. It's a luxurious, eclectic twist that somehow works.

Patrick Dempsey Talks to Us About His Latest Scent

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:00:36 PST

When Patrick Dempsey launched his first scent, Unscripted, late last year, I have to admit I was skeptical of another celebrity fragrance hitting the market. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle, clean scent, and even Mr. Bella - whose idea of a fun night out involves climbing mountains and camping in the woods sans showers - is a fan.

Patrick has been bitten by the fragrance bug once again. The launch of his latest scent, Patrick Dempsey 2 ($30), pays tribute to the intimacy between two people. (That's his wife in the ad campaign.) Expect to see at least two more fragrance launches from Patrick in the future, but in the meantime, check out my one-on-one interview (sigh) with the sexy actor when you read more.
