Fab Ad: Zac Posen Spring '09

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:00:22 -0700

Ladies and gents, you're looking at Zac Posen's ad campaign debut. Here's the story on why he decided to jump on the bandwagon now. The publisher of indie fashion magazine Fanzine137, Luis Venegas, made him an offer he couldn't refuse: a double spread to create his ideal ad. Posen quickly assembled a team - Ellen von Unwerth as the photographer, his stylist friend Christopher Niquet, and model Alexandra Tomlinson - and got to work at his friend Lorraine Kirke’s house. "Once Ellen saw me singing Cole Porter, laying on top of Lorraine’s grand piano, she decided it had to be the spot for the picture," Posen said. We think it's kind of boring, what do you think?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. There is no better way to start your romance-filled day than with shots from Ellen von Unwerth's 2005 book, Plumes & Dentelles (Feathers and Lace). Trust me, it will not only put you in a loving mood, but also a lusting mood! Models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Melissa Rose Haro play dress up, Marie Antoinette-style. Pink, lace, ruffles, corsets, flowers, garters, pearls - if it's a symbol of sexy, it's included. These seriously make me want to rummage Agent Provocateur, pronto. Who knows, maybe it will inspire you to reenact the scenes for your honey tonight. Wink, wink.

Fab Flash: Teri Hatcher Fronts Badgley Mischka Campaign

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 11:20:22 -0700

She may play a desperate housewife, but that didn't deter Badgley Mischka from picking Teri as the face of their glamorous Fall collection. Shot by Ellen von Unwerth, who is famous for her vampy style, Teri explained why she, of Wisteria Lane fame, was chosen: "This is not just about couture. It is how every woman deserves to feel beautiful."

The photographs delivered have a campy feel to them, and I have to say: I'm not a fan. Though I adore von Unwerth's works, this is too much cheese and not enough of the glamour a Badgley Mischka collection deserves.

The campaign will appear in next month's issues of Vogue, Instyle, and Vanity Fair, as well as in an outdoor campaign.

Which Rachel Bilson For GQ Magazine Lingerie Look Do You Like Best?

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Finally! Rachel Bilson traded in her boots for something a little more sassy - correction - a lot more sexy. In February's GQ Magazine, the cute-as-a-button actress looks, well, not exactly cute. Rather, she looks like a sexy kitten who just discovered her appeal and the power of the purr. I am quite mesmerized by these Ellen von Unwerth photos because they reveal an edgier side of Rachel that I presume only her lovers have witnessed. I feel like a fly on the wall in her bedroom, unable to pull myself away from the alluring peep show. My favorite outfit, if you can even call it that, is the baby-pink lace bra and shorts by French lingerie brand Chantal Thomass because it's feminine and pinup chic. Which do you like best?

(L-R: Agent Provocateur two-piece with Christian Louboutin espadrilles; Victoria's Secret slip dress and necklace from Diavolina boutique in LA; Chantal Thomass bra and Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann ($12); Chantal Thomass bra and shorts)
