Trend Alert: Long-Sleeve Minis

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Emmanuelle Chriqui, Kerry Washington, and Kate Moss have a lot in common. Beside being some of the most coveted ladies in the biz, they all look majorly hot in their long-sleeve minis. The contrast between the short hemline and long sleeves is pure genius. Even better, they're ideal for Fall - pair them with leather leggings for a scintillating rocker-glam vibe, or with tights for maximum coziness. Oh, don't forget to complete the look with oversized earrings!

This New York Fashion Week has an extra special event to attend - Fashion's Night Out. I'm all about doing my part, so you know I'll be attending all the amazing soirees to shop and support. That's why I asked you to help me create an amazing outfit for this fun affair.

I started you off with these DKNY Metallic Flats ($180) because I need Fab flats to survive all the walking. Let's see your creations . . .

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is super cute. So feisty, yet chic.

Sandra Bullock in Taupe Halston Wrap Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:50:22 -0700

If you think Sandra Bullock is swimming in her taupe Halston wrap dress at the premiere of The Proposal in Germany, that's because she is. It's the intention; the dress is designed to drape the body in a loose manner. What I have beef with is the color. Taupe doesn't pop like, say, white or black would. The brown studded belt breaks up the monotony and the delicate gold jewels provide minor shine. The asymmetrical hem reveals Sandra's gray Christian Louboutin platforms. What do you think of this overall look?

Halston Swoops Up Marios Schwab

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 09:52:08 -0700

After much speculation on who would replace Marco Zanini at Halston, the brand has finally chosen its new successor: Marios Schwab. The London-based designer will take over in July and will unveil his first collection, for Fall 2010, in February. "While Halston's DNA is crucial to its future success, I very much wish to move the brand forward and make it relevant for today," said Schwab. "Simple, effortless pieces realized via modern [fabrics] and technology will play a large role in how I will redefine the brand. The clothes will echo the heritage but with a very distinctive, modern feel that is completely new and completely now." Marios will also continue with his own namesake line. An edgy modern Halston? Sounds great to me.

Fab Flash: Halston Wants Olivier Theyskens

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 10:08:29 -0700

UPDATE: Halston reps have shot down rumors of Oliver Theyskens taking over as its next creative director. "Olivier will never, ever happen," said a source. "It's no secret that [the brand] is struggling - they need a designer who can sell lots and lots of clothes, not just get great press."

With just months after showing his last collection for Nina Ricci, Olivier Theyskens might already be headed to a new fashion house. Rumor has it Anne Wintour has coaxed Halston to take on her wunderkind as its new creative director position. However, other sources revealed Halston was considering Narciso Rodriguez or Marios Schwab to take over Marco Zanini's position. Nothing is confirmed, but we all know what Anna wants, Anna gets. We'll keep you posted.

FABTV: Halston Fall '09 Presentation

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:00:08 -0800

While most designers continue to use catwalk shows for their Fall collections, Halston is taking a road less traveled, literally. It has transformed the streets of New York City into a runway in this three-minute Fall '09 video presentation. Model Dree Hemingway is seen running, slow motion, down a wet, rainy block, wearing a glamorous yellow chiffon Halston evening gown. Each block lends flavor; a newsstand, five-star hotel, a high-end boutique, and paparazzi cameras all capture the decadence of a transient era. Ironically, a few blocks into her run, Dree passes a runway show. Now, sit back and rejoice in having a front-row seat to Halston's Fall '09 show.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Beach Boardwalk, in the Warm California Sun

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam. We enjoyed the sun and roller coasters at the Beach Boardwalk, followed by a nice dinner. I was pretty worn out by dinnertime, but lucky for me, I had your help. I asked you to find a look that would do double duty from a day at the beach to a night on the town.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). It's cute, cheap, and protected me from the sun.

Look #1, created by hil34, will take me from sun to dusk. Smart to choose a hands-free messenger bag!

Look #2, created by maria212134, is all about function. Her color choice will keep me looking fresh throughout the day. I also like how the tote reverses from canvas to leather.

Celebrity Style: Mary-Kate Olsen

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:00:22 -0700

In last week's CelebStyle Smarts quiz, most of you knew the difference between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's style. Go you! As exemplified here, MK is the sister that doesn't mind looking a little tousled, and we appreciate her for that. The vintage Halston black bat-wing caftan she wore to the Late Show is floaty and flirty. She accentuated her tiny waist with a studded belt and fancied her feet with a pair of Louboutin pumps. Of course, she couldn't leave home with her signature small round sunnies.

LaROK Circle Print Mini Caftan - $298.00	ASOS Multi Studded Waist Belt - $32.45
Christian Louboutin Decollete leather pumps - $575.00	Ralph Lauren Black Label Round Sunglasses With Chain - $240.00

Trend Alert: Floor Grazing Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:00:11 -0800

One gal who was under the red carpet radar at the SAG awards was Entourage darling Emmanuelle Chriqui. I just love her! She's really proving to be a budding Fabionista. And this red vintage Halston just upped her ante. Last year was all about the mini and legs, I have a feeling floor grazing dresses will soon be floating about. If we can learn anything from Halston, it's that a maxi can be comfortable and glamorous at the same time.

Fab Flash: Net-a-Porter Delivering Halston Day After Comeback Show

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:00:22 -0800

The day after relaunched label Halston shows on Feb. 4, during New York Fashion Week, Net-a-Porter will begin selling two looks straight off the runway, a daytime shirt dress ($1,495) and an evening silk dress ($1,795).

This retailing coup follows the collaboration Net-a-Porter had with RM by Roland Mouret last year, which allowed customers to immediately order looks from the runway that would then be shipped at a later date. The Halston partnership takes the idea a step further, allowing interested customers to literally pick a dress off the runway and be able to wear it the next day.

It will be interesting to see how this affects fast fashion chains, who thrive on the delay between runway shows and the time that customers can get their hands on the clothes . . .
