FabSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:22 PDT

Are you all going to a party and not inviting me? Since I'll be busy with Fashion Week, I'll let you slide on this one. Your Fab finds were all about romantic ruffles, flowy necklines, and draped bodices. Your colorful choices were also spot on. What a way to add color into a Fall wardrobe. The Fab Finder of the week is jasmint - her Religion Plaited Tie Jersey Wrap Top is unique. I like the mix between the soft jersey knit and bright color.

Nicholas K Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:00:33 PST

Nancy Sinatra's epic "Bang Bang," set the mood for Nicholas Kunz's Fall Nicholas K collection. Inspired by the Taos artists in the '20s and '30s, Kunz imagined a line bursting with Western influence - we loved all of the cool Stetson-inspired hats - and a dash of deco. Fringe was heavily prevalent, making its way onto geometric leather jackets, sheer crochet dresses, and for a vintage touch, metallic fringed flapper dresses. For eveningwear, Kunz showed off her signature draping technique on a variety of gorgeous sexy bias-cut dresses and fluid tops. The outerwear category also shined: parka jackets came complete with inner straps (so the coat can hang just off the shoulders), structured leather jackets highlighted by luxe fur collars, and the closing look featured an undeniably slick black asymmetric leather and canvas zippered coat. More details below.

Trends: Western influence, fringe, parka jackets, crochet detailing.
Colors: Desert sand, gray, black, army green, sienna.
Key Piece: We loved the simple yet sexy sheer asymmetric and draped dresses; outerwear showed amazing structural pieces.
Accessories: Wedge platform boots, knee-high boots, leather harness vests, Western-inspired hats, turtle shell necklaces.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who like the utilitarian look with slight, modern edge.

Lanvin's Spring 2012 Video Ad Features Snakes at a Party

Noria Morales — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:55:48 PST

Lanvin created a Garden-of-Eden-inspired dinner party to feature their Spring 2012 collection, set to the beat of 18-year-old music artist Maxine Ashley's latest single, "Cookieman." The video, shot by Steven Meisel, has a similar energy and quirkiness as their Fall 2011 video, which featured Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson dancing in a house. That video went viral and spawned a fun fashion week version. This time, it's rising star model Aymeline Valade who looks ultra glamorous while draped in Lanvin's gorgeous dresses, as well as snakes - both real and in jeweled form. What do you think of the new ad? Addicting to watch or not as good as the last one?

Spring Into Yoga Class With a Draped, Flowy Top

Michele Foley — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:00:25 PST

I like to cover myself during Savasana with a flowy cardigan; it's nice being wrapped up and warm while in the meditative pose. My cardigan also doubles as a cute way to cover up after class, which is essential in the cooler weather. With Spring just around the corner, ditch that down jacket and get yourself a draped top to wear after class. Long and flowy, it will pair perfectly with your yoga capris or leggings.

Clockwise from top left: Lululemon Live Healthy wrap ($118), Splendid draped open-end cardigan ($95), Zobha Annette tunic ($98), Splendid Always Active hoodie ($118), Splendid slub loose knit hoodie ($81), Topshop knitted stripe cape cardigan ($76), Calvin Klein draped tunic cardigan ($48)

Stylish newcomer (and The Descendants star) Shailene Woodley looked bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in a sweet floral L'Wren Scott frock. While Shailene has donned everything from draped and flowy to body-con metallics, this shimmery blue-and-red flower appliqué gown is surprisingly sleek and fresh. Shailene's low-maintenance beauty regimen was on display - her pulled-back hair, well-groomed brows, and long lashes let the gown do all the talking. How do you feel about Shailene's red-carpet look?
