FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:00:22 PDT

Color experimentation is a wonderful thing so if you haven't tried it yet, let Becki Newton guide you. In fact, it's all about inspiration - doesn't this look remind you of Cameron Diaz's fuchsia/turquoise Dior ensemble at The Met's Institute Gala last year? At the TCA All-Star party, Becki wore a purple ruffle dress, but the exciting part is that she accessorized with turquoise and green earrings, and turquoise peep-toe pumps. Pair unexpected hues and let the color experimentation begin!

Beth Ditto Gets Her Own MAC Line

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:04:00 PST

Singer Beth Ditto has long been known for her avant-garde fashion sense and experimental approach to hair color and makeup, but now MAC is giving her the chance to share her creative vision with the rest of us. WWD reports that Beth's limited-edition collection is expected to hit MAC counters come June. The first image from her campaign has just been released, and if the shades on display are any indication, we're in for bold, bright colors and lots of matte textures. We're most excited about the possibility of cool nail polishes, though - Beth's pink, yellow, and black manicure above looks both cutting edge and surprisingly wearable.

Twice the Fun on the Double Exposure Digi Cam

Kelly Schwarze — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:54:00 PDT

I love the ability to manipulate a roll of film in a Holga or other Lomo camera, and manually rewind the spool for a double exposure with the most dreamy qualities. Unfortunately, the reality of actually carrying around a larger toy camera, possibly dropping it and accidentally exposing the film, and having the film actually processed, leaves it locked away at home most of the time. The Minimo-X Double Exposure Digi Cam ($130) from Photojojo looks like the perfect digital gadget to start photography experimentation again. At just two-inches wide and weighing one ounce, the Digi Cam combines two pictures into one in a flash and includes the saturated colors and vignetting Lomo cameras are known for. The 3.2MP camera also takes video and somehow fits a one-inch LCD screen on the back for perfect double framing.

Rick Owens Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:37:45 PDT

“I always resented the idea of radical silhouettes or exaggeration being confined to the runway,” said Owens, when describing his Spring collection. “That kind of extremity should be accessible all day long.” That said, wearability was key for Owens, as seen through the simple cotton and leather fabrics he juxtaposed into a '60s couture-inspired line. Long, lean pillar skirts were the focal point, paired with a range of structured and voluminous tops. Most notably were the array of modern patchwork jackets and exaggerated bell-sleeved renditions. Meanwhile, flowy draped skirts and intricately ruched gowns provided a softer touch to the collection. The color palette stayed true to his aesthetic, featuring predominately black, white, and gray hues, but there was also experimentation with a warm clay hue. “There’s no irony," said Owens. "It’s not particularly witty. There’s no menace. This time, it’s really pure, simple grace.” More details from the collection below.

Trends: Minimalism, pillar skirts, draped skirts, patchwork jackets, volume.
Colors: Black, white, gray, clay.
Key Look: The patchwork jackets with bell sleeves and pillar skirts.
Accessories: Minimal platform sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave strong, yet minimal looks.

Kate Bosworth Channels Rainbow Brite - Love It or Leave It?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:47:00 PDT

On her way out of the Coldplay concert at UCLA, we spotted Kate Bosworth sporting some seriously bold colors - in more ways than one. On top of her new dip-dyed blue-green locks, Kate also showed off a sheer, rainbow-hued Missoni top. We're used to seeing the actress in more understated garments via chic cocktail dresses and color experimentation that typically goes as far as a bold Proenza frock or saturated Calvin Klein sheath. However, fashion involves risk taking and as far as we're concerned, Kate shows no fear. So, what do you make of the look? Is it a refreshing change or a bit of a misstep?

Happy Birthday, Rihanna!

FabSugar — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 23:50:00 PST

Enter into the world of Rihanna. Since 2005, the Barbadian beauty caught my attention with her catchy songs, and even more so, her megawatt style. When Rihanna first hit the scene, she stayed within the sexy singer realm via colorful body-con frocks and separates. As the years went along, she took a turn towards high fashion. After attending numerous runway shows, Rihanna developed an edgier sense of dressing - who can forget those star shaped pasties - and started donning clothes and accessories from the likes of Chanel, Alexander Wang, and Rodarte, to name a few. Despite The songstress continues to impress me with her daring in-your-face ensembles and experimental hairdos. Let's take a look at Rihanna's astounding fashion metamorphosis as we wish her a very Fab 23rd birthday!
