Fab Finding Follow-Up: Ghost Town Halloween!

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so you know I partied it up. My itinerary included a Ghost Town party complete with goblins and ghouls, so I needed you to help me put together a classic ghost costume.

I started you off with this Maison Michel Miniature Veil Top Hat ($645) because it's simultaneously spooky and sassy. Let's see your creations.

Look #1, created by Zivanod, is ghoulishly girlie. The tutu is amazing!

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

China Fashion Week Spring '10 is underway in Beijing, and so far, crazy headpieces rule. They were made of any and all of the following: safety pins, flowers, studs, tulle, feathers, and leather. Would you wear this severe safety-pin arrangement on your head?! Lady Gaga would. Proceed with caution: headpieces and masks look crazier than they sound.

Trend Alert: The Boyfriend Hat

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

We're going to borrow another one from the boys. Menswear is no new trend, but boyfriend jeans, blazers, and boyfriend shirts have had their run. Ever notice how men have such wonderful hat options? Liv has. She wore this incognito navy hat whilst frolicking with her son, Milo, in NYC. Clearly, it was windy, but that much more picturesque. She tied her whole navy look together with it. Bad hair days begone thanks to the boyfriend hat.

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.

See the rest.

Eek! by Eugenia Kim Hits Urban Outfitters

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:00:11 -0700

I remember first falling for Eugenia Kim's headwear years ago while in NYC. I saw a fantastically dressed girl wearing the sleekest cloche hat. Of course, I had to ask here where she got it, and that's when she told me about Eugenia. I promptly looked her up, and all hopes of owning one of her creations went down the drain when I found out her hats ranged from $200 to $300. Ready for the twist? Eugenia decided to come out with a cheaper line, called Eek! (cute, huh?), for Urban Outfitters. The collection costs a fraction of her namesake line, $28 to $48, and includes a version of her famous cloche hat, headbands, hair clips, and cool caps. Thanks for hooking it up, Eugenia.

Look Book Love: Maison Michel, Fall '09, Shot by Karl Lagerfeld

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I love it when Karl gets behind the camera and brings his muses along for the ride. Famous hat maker Maison Michel enlisted the designer to shoot his Fall/Winter '09 look book and the end result is one spectacular shot after another. Of course, did we expect anything less from the perennial Karl? The cast includes Lara Stone, Heidi Mount, Sasha Pivovarova, Sean Lennon, Lou Doillon, Amanda Harlech, and even Laetitia Crahay, Michel's art director and Chanel's accessories designer. It's all very incestuous . . .

Trend Alert: Wide(r) Brim Hats

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Maria! In Acapulco, Mexico, no less. Check out model Mariacarla Boscono at the Acapulco Moda Nextel press conference-looking Summer glam in a wide(r) brim hat and gold brocade dress. And you know what? I realized that a shorter-rim hat doesn't provide as much sun protection as a floppy or wider-brim fedora. So may I suggest a super-chic, super coverage hat for long Summer days? Maria's fedora still manages to be menswear cool . . . follow her lead and pair it with a glamorous dress for optimum decadence.
