FABTV: The Making of Chanel Haute Couture, Look 39

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:43:02 -0700

We ooh and ahh at haute couture, but we rarely stop to think, how did they create that awe-inspiring piece? Chanel has put together a short behind-the-scenes video, revealing how Look 39 from the Chanel Haute Couture Fall '09 collection was made. It starts with Madame Jacqueline preparing the toile of the jacket after looking at a sketch by Karl Lagerfeld. Then Madame Cécile carefully examines the toile of the dress. Finally, the design is transferred onto tracing paper, and the magic begins. I'll let the work speak for itself.

FABTV: Valentino, The Last Emperor

If you didn't get a chance to see Valentino's flick in theaters, fret not, it's coming to DVD. Starting Sept. 8, you can add Valentino: The Last Emperor ($16) to your movie collection. Along with the original feature-length film, you'll get 46 minutes of bonus material - three mini features about the world of haute couture as well as the life of Valentino and business partner Giancarlo Giammetti. Just some things to look forward to: tours of Valentino's homes around the world, the making of one of his signature red dresses, and his farewell couture collection.

Girls on Film: Cindy Crawford, Vogue Paris, November '08

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Even though my fashion world mostly lives online, I still revel in glossy pages of glorious clothes and beautiful women. That will never change. Magazines constantly strive to create fantastical images showcasing the latest trends and accessories. Some resonate, some flop. Vogue Paris consistently churns out provocative imagery - most recently their stab at anti-fur crusaders. Now, the mag is showcasing the super Cindy Crawford, shot by Inez & Vinoodh, in all her 42-year-old glory. Geez. In addition to the '80s bathing suits, bold jewelry, shocking colors, and sultry cutouts, Cindy proves she's still got it. Those of you reveling in the early '90s revival, feast.

Teen Choice Awards: Miley Cyrus

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:42:32 -0700

Miley went for a serious rockin' look tonight complete with a teensy Haute Hippie sequin mini, white Hanes beater, and loads of Loree Rodkin chains. The skirt is a tad short for my taste, and the chain harness is cluttered by the chain belt, but her black suede Louboutins are velvety perfection. Thoughts?

Looks of the Week!

FabSugar — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:22:11 -0700

There were so many good looks this week - so hard to narrow it down. Without further ado, here are my favorites: badass to the bone, navy queen, roll it up, simple but sassy, geek chic, floral fun, on the dot, NYC style, and mad about plaid. I adore haute77's outfit - the proportions are right on - but I love her awesome smile more.
