On Our Radar: John Galliano and Diesel Team Up for Children's Wear

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

He's creative director of Dior, at the helm of his own eponymous Galliano collection, and now John Galliano is joining with Diesel to bring children's wear to the mix.

Aimed at girls and boys ages 4 to 14, the line, which is still unnamed, is expected to launch January in Italy, France, the U.K., Russia, the U.S., Japan, and Eastern Europe. As Diesel chief Renzo Rosso told WWD, "Galliano likes to play and create fairy-tale worlds even for adults. Imagine what he can do for kids." Imagine the possibilities, my friends, and it will be worth the wait!

Angelina and Brad Design High-End Jewelry With Asprey

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:05:04 -0800

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have tackled a lot together - namely, a growing family. A high-end jewelry line is the latest. Dubbed The Protector, it's inspired by snakes because Angelina considers the reptile a protector of her family. Here at the BAFTA Awards in February, she gave us a sneak peek of the line by wearing the serpent bracelet.

The duo's jewelry line has been in the works for more than a year but will finally debut later this week at Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai. A silver baby spoon with a serpent-shaped handle, retailing for $525, will benefit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, co-founded by Angelina. Black diamond and emerald pavé rings, earrings, bracelets, men’s cuff links, and studs are also part of the line. This is one celebrity designer collaboration I didn't see coming. Did you?

This Week's Fab Favorite: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:50:00 -0700

I hate to be predictable, but you knew this was going to happen. Didn't we all swoon when we saw Diane in frothy lavender Marchesa at the annual New Yorkers For Children Spring dinner dance in NYC? We should have seen it coming with her hint of icy lavender the day before. I saw this dress live at Marchesa's Fall showing, and I've been waiting for someone - not just anyone - to wear it. And Diane does, to perfection. She compliments the voluminous one-sleeved frock with cool-gray accessories and heavenly makeup. There couldn't be a more perfect frock for our girl - it's dramatic, feminine, forward. Diane continues to deliver gifts of pulchritude.

Fabcons: The Traina Three

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Samantha, Victoria, Vanessa. There are more Trainas, but these are The Traina Three. All of them, children of novelist Danielle Steel and vintner John Traina, are under the radar but oh so Fab. Many a fashion junkie who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area is secretly obsessed with the elusive sisters. They are socialites, yes, but they aren't camera-loving princesses.

All three work in fashion. Samantha, the brunette who resides in LA, serves as fashion editor of C magazine. Her style is feminine with a cool edge. Victoria, with the bangs, worked at the Lacroix atelier last Summer. She has a fondness for hair play and appreciates texture and eclecticism. Vanessa, the tall one, currently works at Vogue Paris; she is the most model-like, wears lots of Paris black, and has a total nonchalant attitude. With friends like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Lazaro and Jack of Proenza Schouler, the TTT clearly played in the coolest sandbox in town. It's too bad they all fled San Francisco - we could use some of their chic, forward thinking here.

Coco Rocha in Geometric Zac Posen: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:50:22 -0700

The always smiley Coco Rocha served as Zac Posen's date at the New Yorkers For Children Spring dinner dance last night. What a fun duo! Coco naturally wore one of Posen's creations, specifically a black and white geometric gown from the Spring '09 collection. Depending on who wears it, it can either be a highly theatrical dress or a lighthearted one. The final say is in your hands, so what do you think - yay or nay?

Her LemLem striped scarf breaks up the black, while her boots lend a tough-girl edge. The pieces she's wearing aren't revolutionary, but I applaud her for fusing them in a uniquely fashionable manner.

A Few Fab Words With Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Nicole Richie thinks there's nothing cuter than a little boy dressed in a suit. I know this because she told me. Well, it is pretty cute. We snuck Richie away at a recent fundraiser event to talk charity, fashion, and her evolving brand House of Harlow. This happened the night after the Chanel party, so as you can see, Fab was on a celebrity binge. I think I got my fix after an intimate chat with the funny and laid-back Richie at the Cusp Boutique in LA. Nick Verreos, Project Runway alum and friend of Nicole, was also there so stayed tuned to hear what's new with him.

Nicole partnered up with Signorelli to create T-shirts benefiting The Children's Health Fund. She proudly announced raising $400,000! She was wearing the black tank with Angel motif - stay tuned to enter to win the tank Nicole was wearing that benefits the Fund. But first, a few Fab words . . .

What brings you here?

We’re partnering up with Signorelli to raise money for the Children’s Health Fund. Just in Los Angeles, there are 500,000 children without health care and by selling the T-shirts a large amount of the proceeds are helping to fund building for mobile units. So the mobile units can go around and provide immediate health care.

Did you have any say in the design of the shirts?

I didn’t but they sent me options and I went with the black tank, I wear a lot of black.

Can we talk about your jewelry line that’s in the works?

Yes. It’s called House of Harlow and it’s actually the beginning of a brand that I’m developing of children’s apparel and also a clothing line, shoes, bags, sunglasses, everything. I’m really excited. The jewelry is first and it will be out in late August.

To read the rest of the interview and to see lots more exclusive pics from the event, read more.

Can you tell us about the children’s collection?

I’m at the very beginning stages but I’m designing adult clothes for babies. The girl’s clothes are designed after my personal clothing and the guy’s clothes are going to be designed after Joel’s.

So it’s going to be like a mini-me sort of thing.

Yes, exactly. So little hippie dresses for girls and sleeveless tops and suits for boys. I think there’s nothing cuter than a little boy dressed in a suit.

And what else are you wearing?

I think the jacket is Stella McCartney - is it? - the pants are Balenciaga, and Loubs. (And she was carrying her black Balenciaga motorcycle bag – with iPod headphones falling out).

How would you describe your personal style?

I don’t know how to answer that! I really don’t know, I feel like I wear the same thing every day. I just accessorize differently and wear whatever I’m comfortable in. Like, when I’m with the baby I wear flats and when I’m not I wear heels. It just depends on what mood I’m in.

How has your style evolved?

I still like to dress up. I think every girl, whether you’re 13 or in your twenties, should always try new things. I mean, I’ve had my hair pink and brown and blonde and I think it’s all about trying new things; I’m really open to new looks. I love fashion so much that I definitely want to take it to the next level and I’m really excited about it all.

Power Couple: Natalia Vodianova and Justin Portman

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 08:00:22 -0800

On her own, Natalia Vodianova is one successful model. But with husband Justin Portman by her side, her appeal increases. That's because the couple is always stylish and smiley together.

Natalia is only 26 but she's been married to the British real estate heir for over six years. They have three children together, Lucas Alexander, Neva, and Viktor. It seems modeling runs in the family - all of them posed for an editorial in Vogue's November issue titled Field of Dreams.

True, Natalia's beauty outshines, but her hubby holds his own with nonchalantly cool ensembles. While Natalia usually wears designer frocks, Justin complements her in leather pants, slim shirts, sharp outerwear, and pointy shoes. It's a match made in modeling heaven.

Celebrity Style: Joy Bryant

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Rachel Zoe client, Joy Bryant, once again doesn't disappoint on the red carpet. For the 9th Annual New Yorkers For Children Fall Gala in NYC, the actress literally sparkled in a metallic shift dress, perfectly cinched with a black patent bow belt. Despite her many accessories - metallic minaudiére, black patent wedges, diamond bracelet, drop earrings - Joy manages to look understated, which is pretty hard to do in a loud frock. The fact that she barely wears makeup may have something to do with it. Lucky duck.

DOLCE & GABBANA Short dress - $940.00	B-low The Belt black patent 'Charlotte' bow belt - $108.00
Marc Fisher "Osteria" Slingback Wedge - $69.00	AZ Collection Swarovski Crystal Silver Plated Bracelet - $398.00
R & Y Augousti Wave Miniaudiere- Black - $270.00	Swarovski "chic" ring - $260.00
Liz claiborne "teal appeal" drop earrings - $20.00

Countdown to the Zoe Show: "Honey, I Only Wear High Heels"

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I guess it does only take 21 minutes for you to change your mind about someone. The Rachel Zoe Project will soon be unleashed and it's already at the top of my Tivo. To further convince me this is going to be one of the Fall season's best, Zoe got on the phone with a group of reporters and dished. What about? Plenty. So plenty I figured we could do countdown of the juiciest bits leading up to the premiere of the show: Monday, Sept. 9 at 11 PM. Oh, and be sure to watch the 21 minutes to get up to speed. Ready, set, Zoe!

Meet Brad and Taylor:

"Taylor has been with me for three years. Taylor, as she would say about herself, she’s not the easiest person all the time. I love her like family. She’s like one of my children. And she is about keeping a very tight ship, and there’s no margin for error in what we do. But I think that you will enjoy, for better or for worse, the dynamic between the two of them. It’s not edited and is extremely real, and there is absolutely no acting in this show.

I feel that style is people’s way of expressing themselves and their mood. And I think if you notice it, Taylor is always in black and she’s very dark, and she’s very hard. Brad is always in very happy clothes all the time and he’s very dandy and very, you know - I think they’re equally as obsessed with fashion. I think that’s why anyone gets into this and I’m very lucky that they are. They both have such incredible style."

For the rest, read more.

Rachel Zoe, the brand:

"My goal is to create a lifestyle brand. Something there’s no limit to, that will go from belts and sunglasses to jewelry and clothes and fragrance and home. Sometime in 2009 we’ll start to see products. I really love what I do and I think that however I can challenge myself to broaden that scope as much as possible is my ultimate goal."

Honey, I only wear high heels:

"How?! Platforms and inner cushions at the ball of your foot. You know, some designers actually put those in for you now. Like Brian Atwood puts a little kind of cushion right at the ball of your foot which makes them very comfortable. I think if there isn’t one in existence then you just put one in yourself."
