Reality TV and fashion lovers, get ready to get glued to the tube, as there's a new show in the works that will chronicle the lives of six fashion assistants given the not-so-glamorous task of putting together the fashion show and after party for Charlotte Ronson during last Fall's New York Fashion Week in September. The one-hour weekly show will air on Soapnet in July.

"The Fashionista Diaries" will follow entry-level employees at Flirt Cosmetics, Seventh House PR and Jane Magazine while they do everything and anything from buying coffee to transporting clothing all around NYC. Ain't fashion fun?

Fab Face: Iekeliene Stange

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 16:36:55 -0800

One of the most interesting faces trotting down the fall runways was Dutch newcomer Iekeliene Stange. Note: her last name is Stange, not Strange, though she does look it with her insane cheekbones, pale complexion, and pointed nose. The 21-year-old, who also happens to have a gap-toothed smile, was a designer favorite this fall appearing in numerous shows including Chloe, Chanel, and Emanuel Ungaro. I think she's interesting looking alright, what do you think?

Come Fab Finding With Me: What to Wear to Fashion Week

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 12:41:31 -0700

Tomorrow marks the official start of New York Fashion Week, which makes me wonder: What would you guys wear if you got to attend one of the week's runway shows? After all, no matter how cute those Target Paul & Joe clothes are, it's hard to get away with wearing budget finds when you're surrounded by haute couture. The best strategy, in my opinion, is splurging on one stunning designer piece, like this Paul & Joe Ornika Kimono Top, available for $570 here. then build an outfit from there.

So let's all go Fab Finding for the perfect bottoms, shoes, and bag to complete the ensemble. To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here. Be sure to come back and tell us all what you found. To see some of my favorite online stores to try, read more

San Francisco Fashion Week returns to the City by the Bay, August 23rd - 27th, for the third annual event since 2004. The week-long series of parties, workshops and fashion shows will showcase up to twenty of the top emerging and established fashion designers from the Bay Area.

Colleen Quen's Sake-tini dress is just one of the reasons we love this San Franciso designer. In addition to her line of cocktail dresses, each bearing the name of an actual cocktail, her current collection includes evening wear, travel and bridal attire. We hear the Sake-tini is a favorite of Tyra Banks!

Back for the second year running, the design trio at Oda debuted their first collection at San Francisco Fashion Week in August 2005. Their signature style of hip, wearable art incorporates elements of Edwardian tradition and Tokyo-pop.

To initiate the festivities, the Fashion Week Kick-Off Party benefits AIDS research and will host some of the city's most influential fashion designers and industry insiders. If you're in town, buy yourself a ticket and join FAB for all the fun!

Fab's Faves From Spring '10 LA Fashion Week

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

LA Fashion Week recently wrapped up and there is some undiscovered talent to share. I sifted through the collections and spotted the best pieces from the likes of Maxine Dillon, Kevan Hall, Samora, and even Project Runway alum, Jarrell Scott. Most designs catered to LA's laid-back style, but a few stand-outs, like Oliver Tolentino, proved that the City of Angels can also create some of the most decadent gowns. No doubt, I can picture this royal purple masterpiece on the red carpet.

Fashion Week Quickie: Arise Magazine Brings Africana to Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:00:22 -0800

One of the things I love about attending Fashion Week is the abundance of fash lit. Virtually every local NYC magazine and newspaper creates special spreads for the tents, and Fashion Week Daily is my everyday fashion breakfast/waiting reading.

This Friday, I will keep my eyes peeled for Arise Magazine. The new monthly Nigerian-based magazine will debut with the African Fashion Collective fashion show at the tents. The show will give four African designers the spotlight, each unveiling 12 to 15 looks in the show.

ThisDay chairman and chief executive officer Nduka Obaigbena states, “I think it’s about an opportunity . . . Africa has been under-reported and under-recognized. Meanwhile, so many big talents have African origins. We think it’s time Africa gets the rightful recognition in the global cultural landscape, and its fashion contribution is one of them.”

The premiere issue features Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede and Alek Wek on its cover, and delivers African accomplishments in business, politics, fashion, music, and overall culture. The next cover model? President Barack Obama.
