FABTV: Kate Moss Catwalk Compilation

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss is one of the shortest famous models at 5'6 1/2. Really only Devon Aoki is shorter at 5'5. Still, her uniquely gorgeous face and waif body put her on countless catwalks in the '90s. These days, we get no shortage of Kate in ad campaigns, but I've missed her dearly on the runway. Here, she struts her stuff on the runways of Anna Sui, Bella Freud, and Versace to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." Ferocious! Anything she lacks in height she makes up for with her flirty demeanor and sexy dancing. One of my favorite tidbits is when Kate looks down and quickly up at the camera in a shy but sensual way. Oh, and take note of how back in the '90s, photographers used to be runway-side. Much more glamorous, right?

It's never too late to brush up on your fashion ABCs. A Cultural History of Fashion in the Twentieth Century: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, by Bonnie English, $19, takes you on a journey through fashion in the last century. Focusing on fashion's ever-inspiring evolution, from fairy tales based on glass slippers to T-shirts being used to campaign against wars, this quick study should bring you up to date!

English also explores fashion's impact on culture from Haute Couture to Ready-To-Wear as well as the growth of the fashion's dark side: the black market of fakes and the anti-fashion of the punks. Though this book isn't available until August, you can pre-order it here!

Which Famous Beau Is the Hottest Model?

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:23:51 -0700

There's no doubt about it, Jesus Luz, Gabriel Aubry, and Andrés Velencoso, all have model-worthy looks. But being the boyfriends of the hottest celebs probably helped put them on Spring '10's most desirable menswear catwalks. Madonna's man Jesus walked for Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, and Y-3; Halle Berry's baby daddy Gabriel did his thing exclusively for Louis Vuitton; and Kylie Minogue's hottie Andrés worked it for Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier. All are scrumptious, but which famous beau is the hottest model?

Kristen Stewart in Aquatic Chic Proenza Schouler: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:20:00 -0800

Her nude J.Mendel was pretty but this is straight up fun. Kristen Stewart hit the London red carpet for her new flick, New Moon. While most are focusing on her chemistry with Robert, I'm zooming in on her Proenza Schouler Spring '10 look. It's youthful, spunky, and so is Kristen. I only wish the top were a tad more fitted. I loved the scuba sandals on the catwalk, but Kristen's black patent pumps work as well. What do you think of Kristen in Proenza?

Fab Site: Rent the Runway

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

The words "rent the runway" are music to my ears. It's the ideal situation for a gal on a budget - falling in love with a catwalk look, borrowing it for a day, then returning it to its rightful owner. Now I can do that with Rent the Runway. Dying to begin? First sign up to be added to the wait list. Once you're in, peruse its A-list selection (Proenza Schouler, Matthew Williamson, Yigal Azrouel), get the dress in two different sizes, wear it, keep it for four or eight days, and send it back in a prepaid package without dry cleaning it. Trust me, there's some good stuff in there, and the prices don't sting ($50 to $200). Perfect for that holiday wedding or office party!

Miranda Kerr Struts For David Jones S/S '09

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Miranda Kerr has been Down Under for over a week now, promoting the Spring/Summer '09 collection for David Jones, Australia's oldest department store. First she took the mic in tangerine, then she hit the catwalk. Her runway looks range from flirty contemporary to ladylike chic and all-out sexy. An adorable white-ruffled swimsuit even makes a cameo. But my fave is this delicioso orange asymmetrical dress. And check out that strut . . . watch out or you'll get smooshed.

Freaky or Fabulous? Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Catwalk

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

The great Vivienne Westwood showed her Gold Label Spring '09 collection to London's fashion elite last night. Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova, and Mick Jagger's daughters watched as the wildly clad models pranced the bright red catwalk. Vivienne is certainly not shy in her designs. Along with signature draped frocks, her latest creations include paint-splattered pieces, patchwork, and a jumble of bright colors. Is Vivienne Westwood's Spring '09 Gold Label collection freaky or fabulous?

Fab Flash: Spice Girls Hit the Catwalk

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Earlier today in Milan, the Spice Girls made a surprise appearance on the Roberto Cavalli catwalk. The Fall 2008 men's runway shows are in full swing, and the girls came to show their support for the man who painstakingly designed their world tour costumes. As Cavalli revealed about his efforts, "I met each one on their own so I could get an idea of their personality." The runway show's dress code was all black, with the exception of Geri Halliwell, but unsurprisingly, Posh stole the show with a plunging tuxedo pantsuit. Which spicey look here is your fave?
