Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Who, what, where (or wear)? These are the questions people had running through their heads when the Spring Fashion Weeks were in effect. We were mostly focusing on the clothes rather than who dominated the front rows, but let us also dissect the guests. Editors, celebrities, and models get invited to the shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. One lady who always looked amazing was Carine Roitfeld. Here, at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris, the Vogue Paris editor gave new meaning to the term power suit. The serious glare also helps. See who else graced us with their fashionable presence over the past month . . .

Fab Ad: Gap Fall '08

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I will always love the Gap. I mean, cotton basics? Cozy knits? Preppy staples? Oh, and I love their lip balm. Change is already underway at the company, with Patrick Robinson as head designer under the gun. This Fall campaign, shot by Mikael Jansson, is quintessential Gap - black and white, laid-back poses, American inspired. But the cast and the styling are fresh.
The idea behind the campaign is to “Create Your Own GAP” by mixing and matching classic pieces to create an outfit all your own. The celebrities and models are styled to suit their personal tastes, and the list is vast: Liv Tyler, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Fabcon Clemence Poesy (pictured here), Ginnifer Goodwin, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Schuman (of The Sartorialist), Cecilia Dean (cofounder and editor, Visionaire), models Chanel Iman and Lily Donaldson, and more. This exhibits a cooler, more undone Gap with a focus on fashionable, functional garb. Are you impressed?

FabSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:08 -0700

Gap has long been known for choosing an eclectic mix of well-known A-listers and up-and-comers to star in their advertising campaigns. I already informed you about Ginnifer Goodwin's involvement in the upcoming Fall campaign, but the list goes on and on.

Actors Liv Tyler (who has modeled for the brand before, left), Hugh Dancy, Fabcon Clemence Poesy, Catalina Moreno, Edgar Ramirez, and photographers Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) and Ryan McGinley are also featured in the ads, which will launch this Summer.
Rounding out the list are Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, Fab Face Chanel Iman, screenwriter David Benioff, Visionaire founder Cecilia Dean, and Misshapes DJ Leigh Lezark.

Fabcon: Clémence Poésy

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:00:11 -0700

Fab is obsessed with the French as of late. French food and wine has been a long time favorite, but lately, Frenchies seem to be stealing the fashion spotlight. Move over Brits! Carine Roitfeld is the coolest of all the Vogue editors, Marion Cotillard is the official ingenue and Clémence Poésy is one to watch.

This adorable blonde has been relatively under the radar stateside. You may recognize the 24-year-old as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. No? You may have spotted her attending the Spring couture and Paris fashion shows. Still not putting a name to the face? She is one of the brand ambassadors for Chloe's new fragrance, along with model Anja Rubik and Chloe Sevigny. Sacre bleu!

She has a tousled style to go with her tousled hair. She has this knowing look - when she's wearing a Charlie Chaplin hat or hiding behind fantastic sunnies. She is confident and she is one French cookie I will be watching.

Chanel's Barn Bonanza!

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Karl does country. It's impossible to guess Karl's next move. And who would have thought it would be to the barn? His Spring collection, replete with stars and spectacles, lightened the mood. The clothes were frilly, feminine, and colorful, adorned with thematic accessories like Chanel clogs, flowers in the hair, and drippy jewels. Prince was there - random - and so were Chanel devotees Rihanna, Claudia Schiffer, Dasha Zhukova, and Clemence Poesy. With Karl playing a part, and Lily Allen serenading, it looked like a thrilling fashion hoedown.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Emma Watson

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

She's 10 years younger than me and she is sitting front row at Chanel. But it's OK, I am a Harry Potter fan and she looks Fab. Chanel is a fashion house for every generation and it's nice to see the younger generation wearing it accordingly. She opted for long leggings - this is how you wear them people - some stunning platform sandals, and a sporty but chic silver skirt and jacket set; all Chanel. Her satin Chanel clutch is mighty adorable, too. Her hair is slick and her jewelry is pared down; I spy a glittering ring atop the yummy clutch.

My favorite piece amongst this excellent example of layering is the jacket. I would wear that with just about everything to inject sporty nonchalance. Her bunched up sleeves makes it even more lax. So Emma, pray tell, how did you enjoy the show?
