Fab Flash: Pucci and Seven Do Colored Denim

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 11:10:26 -0700

Pucci is well-known for its psychedelic bright colors, so it's no surprise that when Pucci does denim, the vivid hues carry over. Together with Seven For All Mankind, Pucci is doing a limited edition straight-leg stretch jeans collection in yellow, orange, red, fuchsia, black - and more. They will retail at Pucci stores for $400 a pop.

P.S. If you like the colored denim concept but not the $400 price, check out this post for a great Look for Less!

Designer Spotlight: Dittos

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:45:44 -0700

It really is amazing how fashion recycles itself; Dittos are back! The brand known for curve-hugging cuts, a slightly flared leg, and U-turn stitching down the backside was huge in the 70s: the It jeans of the time, if you will.

Frankie B.'s designer Daniella Clarke has reintroduced the colorful high-rise bell-bottoms in all their bright-colored glory. They also come in blue denim washes and classic white, and are available for $159-$175 from Revolve Clothing, Intermix, and Shopbop.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Nicky Hilton attended the launch party for Paige and OPI's Bright Pair collection in West Hollywood over the weekend. Considering the line is all about colored denim, it's fitting that she wore Paige Premium Denim's bright blue skinny jeans. Always one to incorporate a touch of menswear, Nicky tempered her bold bottoms via a black boyfriend blazer. Black peep-toe Christian Louboutins, a baggy white v-neck tee, and silver jewels bring the look to a nice finish.

2010 Spring: Calvin Klein, CK Jeans, and CK Underwear

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

Clean. Precise. Minimal. Three terms Calvin Klein wants you to use when describing its Spring '10 collection. Staying true to the house's less-is-more aesthetic, Francisco Costa has delivered a line of basics with a sexy utilitarian nature. You'll find organic fabrics and most colors of the rainbow: sand, white, and khaki as staples, canary, melon, poppy, fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt as accents. Drawstring cargos, denim vests, fitted blazers, parkas, denim judo pants, and shirt dresses are all solid. But one print piece stands out as the cool black sheep: a black-and-white, tie-dye dress that's feminine and bold.

Swimsuits are also part of the Spring family - a two-piece in warm gray and a one piece in solid gray or gray Bengal print. The handbags are equally minimal; hobos, totes, and rounded clutches are smooth and unstructured, with gold and silver hardware. Wooden-stacked heels and flat sandals are au naturel and sporty.

Banana Republic's Sporty Sleek Spring '10 Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Banana Republic is giving me something to look forward to come Spring. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. "We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too," said Banana Republic's president, Jack Calhoun. And that they did providing us with neutral-tailored separates along with colorful, silky splashes. I especially love this seafoam silk tunic dress - so luxuriously simple.

While shorts and skirts dominated the runway, cropped pants also played a key role in the storyline. Clean-cut chinos and jeans were cut right above the ankle for a refreshing, chic look. On the accessories front, I adored the straw fedoras and leather-mule sandals. Affordable and amazing - just the way I like it.

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Chloé

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:00:22 -0700

You can spot a Chloé a mile away. That's not to say Hannah MacGibbon has a formula, but rather, a distinct aesthetic, which has come to define the house. While Spring '10 was muted in color, it was bursting in silhouette. Hefty ponchos, cropped capes, leather boy shorts, sharp suits, and leather overalls were among the offerings. A major theme was crisp button-down shirts, buttoned all the way to the top. In that sense, this collection is buttoned-up. It's a collection for a warrior woman, one who isn't afraid to embark on an unknown journey, stylish poncho in hand.

So as not to abandon her more flirtatious customer, however, Hannah added a few flowy skirts and an airy white accordion-pleated frock - wedding dress anyone? And for the denim-loving gal, one look: a patched button-down denim shirt and comfy jeans. Onward ho!

Fab Finger Discount: J.Crew Overdyed Matchstick Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Why be sad when there are colored jeans in the world to make you happy? I swear this J.Crew Overdyed Matchstick Jean ($30, originally $88) would instantly turn your frown upside down. And at that price, it will make your wallet excited, too. Along with the bright hue, I also love its skin-tight fit and the way they've cuffed the bottoms. If yellow is too much, try the light pewter for a more wearable option.

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

This is Stella's party and she'll dress her women how she wants to! That's precisely what the British designer did, as friends like Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlotte Casiraghi looked on. Stella's Spring creations remind that she is a multi-faceted woman, full of life and passion for fashion. She continues to appreciate neutrals and lace, but is now also totally exuberant. The major show-stealers are accordion-pleated ruffles and bright, juicy colors like royal blue, fuchsia, and orange.

Parts of this collection reminded me of her past - crisp high-waisted trousers, oversized blazers, camel hues - but so much of it was fresh. A one-piece bathing suit, a developing Spring trend made its way onto the catwalk, as did dramatically sexy blouses, maxi dresses, lace halter tops, and mini boy shorts. A few denim pieces also took part, but in a less modern, more vintage manner. Whether you're feeling elegant, sassy, boyish, or shy, look no further than Stella Spring '10.
