FabSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:00:22 -0800

Saks Fifth Avenue is now letting you live vicariously through your favorite style icons of decades past.

Madonna lovers can revel in acid bright in the '80s department, while Kate Moss wannabes can sift through '90s-inspired clothes. Find your favorite decade and shop accordingly!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Derek Lam

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 07:00:22 -0700

Derek Lam is always searching for the feminine ideal, and I think he may have hit the nail on the head with this collection (even if it was a little scatterbrained)! Ever one of my favorites, I have to say, he channeled a little bit of young Oscar de la Renta on this turn...

In fact, things were a little wild! Leopard print was spotted under a sharp 70s-inspired suit, scarfed around necks, covering a mackintosh, and wafting in the wind on a caftan minidress. There was also zebra print - one zebra dress even looked made-for-Posh (the fact that the model had cropped blonde hair and big sunnies on added to that effect).

Pea green, colorblocking, hippie chic florals, demure silk, zigzags...this collection was all over the place. Especially when it got to the glamour girl dresses. I wish you had more coherence on this one, Derek, but don't worry, you'll always be my Lam(b).

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Badgley Mischka

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:00:22 -0700

At Badgley Mischka, the 20's was the muse decade. Populating the runway were art deco dresses, dropped waists, and so much black and white Coco Chanel would have been proud.

While they may have been channeling Chanel, the collection remained recognizable as Badgley Mischka. As new cover girl Teri Hatcher sat front row, long blue striped Grecian gowns, ombre cocktail dresses, and plenty of embellished prints strode past.

Between the two influences, 20s on the one hand and the Badgley Mischka aesthetic on the other, the collection lacked a bit of coherence. And I have to say, I'm partial to the Jazz Age-inspired portion rather than the typical Badgley Mischka fare. But overall, between the two, the Badgley Mischka fan gets a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Abaete

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 10:00:22 -0700

Whisking us away to Miami circa 1940, Fab has a new favorite! The Abaete Spring collection was polished, colorful and youthful. A mix of art deco and screen siren style, here is a collection to covet. Silhouettes were form fitting but also flowy in fabrics like stretch silk and cotton. Color blocking added some sportiness, while rhinestone embellishments added sassiness; this is very reminiscent of Coco Chanel's seaside separates. One would wear these wares while playing a game of badminton and then lounge around sipping a Tom Collins. Refreshing and bold, the colors were a cool mix of neutrals, black, white and standouts like teal and cornflower blue. I could do without the rosettes, but the cool plastic shades and sparkling clear bangles added bling.

Oh, and if you noticed the lovely ladylike shoes, they will be available come February at Payless via the Abaete for Payless collection!

Ashley Greene joined fellow celebs at the Tim Burton exhibition at MoMA - lucky! - looking quite fine in a D&G ensemble. Her outfit might look like a plain lace LBD at first glace, but look closer. The New Moon actress paired her decadent lace skirt with a shimmery sheer top and peekaboo bra. For extra spice, she accessorized with a cute ribbon belt and sophisticated pair of lace pumps. Striking.

Trend Alert: Laced-Up

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

Kate Moss doesn't usually stray away from her sleek modus operandi, but when she does, it's just as amazing. While out celebrating her bro's birthday in London, the Super donned a pair of funky lace-up jeans. It's very Guns N' Roses circa '90, and I love how the lacing goes all the way up her legs. I suggest offsetting the old school vibe by pairing these pants with a decadent chubby - a la Kate - or fancy embellished top. If the full-legged corset is too much for your taste, opt for pants with less lacing. No matter what, don't forget the badass heels and rock star attitude.

Current/Elliott Back Laceup Jean Jet Black - $288.00	6126 Jean Lace-Up Leggings - $98.00
Hudson - $225.00	Splendid - $72.00
Scheme Lace-Up Leggings - $118.00	Lana Bootcut Jeans - $59.50
