FABTV: Dramarama "Anything, Anything"

FabSugar — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:11:11 -0700

Speaking of being so head over heels in love with someone you want to marry them as quickly as possible and you would do anything, anything, anything for them . . . here's a little something you may not be familiar with, but should be. The Dramarama video isn't anything special, except there is sporadic footage of Edie Sedgwick throughout, but the song is fueled by the love-induced passion people long to feel. So press play, stand up and dance like you're in love for the first time. Let those positive (or negative) emotions run free and revel in them. Now this is the type of song I would want someone to dedicate to me. Anything, anything, anything . . .

I Want This Wardrobe: Factory Girl

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 08:36:44 -0800

Today's 'It' girl Sienna Miller plays the original 'It' girl Edie Sedgwick in the movie Factory Girl hitting theaters today. After getting the inside scoop from the film's costume designer John Dunn, I learned that Sienna's wardrobe was, not surprisingly, mostly vintage - except a pair of killer Jimmy Choo boots. As you can see, all these wardrobe pieces are still stylish as ever. As much as I would love to go back in time to snag some of these Fab pieces for myself, check out what I did find, ready and available to all of us. Oh and here's a tip: don't forget to wear a pair of sturdy black American Apparel jersey hot shorts, $12, if you dare wear Edie's signature black tights look. Stay tuned for a how-to on getting Edie/Sienna's beauty look from this movie!

The Edie Tote by Tracy Zych

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 08:31:44 -0800

In honor of the much-anticipated release of Factory Girl, with Sienna Miller, if not solely for its movie wardrobe, here is a happening handbag named after the film's heroine. The movie is based on the life of Andy Warhol muse and original 'It' girl Edie Sedgwick - the blazing superstar who came to define both the glamour and the tragedy of our celebrity-obsessed culture. The Edie Large Tote is $675, the medium tote is $575, and it comes in more colors.

Style Icon: Edie Sedgwick

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 01:05:34 -0700

A 1965 fashion spread in Life magazine dubbed her "the girl with the black tights," and Edie Sedgwick wore them with everything, from dressy shift dresses to long t-shirts. So with mod styles and black tights so ubiquitous this fall-not to mention an upcoming biopic called "Factory Girl" starring Sienna Miller as Edie-it seems fitting that the socialite/actress/Factory regular should kick off Fabsugar's new Style Icons feature, where we'll spotlight past and present fashion plates and tell you how to get each one's signature look.

With her cropped platinum hair and dark-lined eyes, Edie Sedgwick defined effortless but edgy mod glamour. The key is pairing simple sheath dresses with bold jewelry, solid-color tights, and basic pumps or flats. Here are the five essential elements you need to get the look.

SHIFT DRESSES
Abaete Mod Mini Dress, $295, available here.

STRIPED KNITS
Edward An Boatneck Dress in Black, $154, available here.

Primetime Emmy Awards: Mermaids

FabSugar — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:54:27 -0700

Mermaids aren't only found in water (they do exist I swear!), they're also spotted on the Emmy red carpet! These stars all chose the womanly silhouette of dresses with form-fitting bodices and flared bottoms. Katherine's was the most dramatic, while Kyra and Becki kept it fresh with layers of feathers and tulle. Edie's train is a little more incognito, Mary-Louise's is sleek and Debra kept it classic in black and white. These mermaids stood out in the sea of red...carpet!

Trend Alert: Retro Tone Coats

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:00:22 -0700

I have an addiction to coats. I cast the blame on this one fabulous friend of mine. She has the keen ability to salvage a vintage coat and make it moving art; I don't know if it's her Edie Sedgwick-like intensity or the coat, but girl always turns heads when she walks down the street. And she has oodles of them! While they do take up a lot of closet space and are seasonal, they are no less fabulous.

Take these retro tone coats - they are modern with a retro twist. As seen on the Fall runway of Richard Chai, all you need is one, and an Edie-induced attitude, and you're golden.

Designer Spotlight: Lovenia

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:00:22 -0700

In designer Heidi Handler's world, contrast plays a major role. Strong and soft hues are fused, metallics are worn in a casual manner, and simple and complex are bosom buddies.

Lovenia, named after Heidi's great-grandmother, is the designer's debut collection and it's nothing short of perfection. Drop-waist dresses ooze 1920s sophistication, and drape the body in a nonchalant way. Wholesale prices for the collection, sold at Gail Rothwell in East Hampton, NY, range from $454 to $1,074. As Heidi sees it, Jean Harlow and Edie Sedgwick are having tea at Tamara de Lempicka's before catching a Josephine Baker show in Paris. How I wish I could be there!

Trend Alert: Seeing Leopard Spots

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:00:22 -0800

Wearing a leopard print is a bold gesture - see Edie Sedgwick - but sometimes that's the intention. I love that we've been seeing leopard spots on the backs of celebs and on the runway; Valentino sure knows how to create a spotted masterpiece (middle). Does a leopard print coat stir up your animal instincts?
