Model of the Week: Riley Keough

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 08:00:33 -0700

From her name, you'd never guess this Model of the Week is Elvis Presley's granddaughter. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you; model Riley Keough, born Danielle Riley Keough, is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and thus, the granddaughter of the late and great Elvis. But one look at the 18-year-old's features and you can quickly see the distinctive Presley genes at work.

Riley was only 15 when, along with her mother and grandmother, she graced the cover of Vogue. In February 2004, she made her runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana in Milan. Since then, Riley has appeared in ads for Christian Dior's Miss Dior Cherie Perfume and has also modeled for Victoria's Secret.

FABTV: Elvis Costello "Pump It Up"

FabSugar — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:11:08 -0800

Are you feeling my Fashion Week coverage? I hope so! At the beginning of Fashion Week, I am energetic, sharp, and coiffed. Toward the end, I start to unravel - it's good you're not a witness. It's fabulous, but it's hard work. When I'm throwing things around in my hotel room, trying to get organized, I always put on uplifting music. This year is a combination of ska, Shakira, and Elvis Costello. This is my favorite Costello song; I mean, the name itself is zealous. And gotta love the man's pigeon toed dance moves. Wish me luck this week!

Fab Read: Rebel Rebel, Anti-Style

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:00:22 -0700

A bit of a rebel himself, British singer-turned-designer Keanan Duffty has penned a book that will appeal to, well, rebels. Rebel Rebel: Anti-Style ($23), debuting Sept. 8, is a 144-page book exploring how the "heritage and history" of fashion staples like the T-shirt and leather jacket have inspired that style. Famous rebels like Elvis Presley, James Dean, Johnny Depp and Gwen Stefani are also highlighted, as are denim, rock T-shirts and hoodies, hair, makeup, and body art. "When you walk into vintage stores, there are different sections for tuxedos, prom dresses, etc. We approached the book the same way," Duffty said. Makes total sense.

Fab Face: Eliza Cummings

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:50:11 -0700

Newcomer British model Eliza Cummings has everyone yapping. Maybe it's because her start was such a cinch compared to other models. Immediately after signing with Select - thanks to her mom's friend who suggested she see an agent - she booked Vogue Italia. Shortly thereafter, Steven Meisel shot her for the cover of the same mag. Or perhaps it's because she resembles Elvis Presly. For a short while there, she was going by Eliza Presly, upon the advice of her agency.

She's back to Cummings now and literally rocking the modeling world with her hardcore boyish look. These days you'll find the 18-year-old posing frequently with ex-boyfriend model Ash Stymest - people say the two Brits looks alike. She's also one of Marc Jacobs' Top Ten Heads. Not bad, for being new in town. Get to know Eliza better.

FABTV: Diana Ross Featuring Michael Jackson, "Upside Down"

FabSugar — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:23:22 -0700

There are too many performers I either missed or still have yet to witness live. Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, and Nirvana are amongst the ones I will never see because, well, they are no longer. Led Zeppelin, Bjork, and Diana Ross are still on my list. Oh, Diana. Such a Fab diva. I love this quickie performance she did, with a fun Michael Jackson cameo at the end. From her sexy white Halston-esque dress (I've heard rumors it's Halston?) to the round white stage, it's all so very . . . disco chic. Diana's got the voice and the moves; my favorite is at the very beginning when she throws her head down then back up and begins to shimmy. Upside down, boy you turn me, inside out, and round and round . . .

Look of The Day: Funkadelic Shades

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 14:17:41 -0800

Sunglasses are so much fun. I remember when I went through my Elvis phase in high school and upon a trip to Vegas bought a pair of the classic, gold metallic shades - the ones with the holes on the sides - you know which ones I'm talking about! I did sport them for a while and then I think they were broken when a stupid boy stole them at a kegger. Ah, memories. Well here are some fun funkadelic shades that were posted by Smarie. She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

And I love the faint purple shading in the glasses with her pretty pink lips and vibrant scarf! She didn't list what the items were so it remains a mystery. Do tell Smarie! I'm guessing the funkadelic shades are vintage.

Congrats to Smarie!
