Kristen Stewart Style, Post-Twilight, Present-New Moon

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Ever since Twilight, we've been watching Bella Swan, I mean, Kristen Stewart, like a hawk. Her street style hasn't changed much - jeans, tee, and leather jacket are her usual M.O. - but her red carpet looks have evolved into something magical. In the beginning of her post-Twilight stardom, the actress shied away from elaborate gowns and funky frocks, but times have changed and so has Kristen. As of late, the star has been dazzling us with head-to-toe designer looks from the likes of Jason Wu, Alexander McQueen, and Oscar de la Renta, to name a few. Hottie Robert Pattinson as arm candy doesn't hurt, either. Is it just me, or is the shy wallflower starting to bloom into an elegant rose? See what I'm talking about!

Kristen Stewart in Cookies and Cream Jason Wu: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:32:44 -0800

We all seem to prefer Kristen in ladylike looks so I'm sure this cookes and cream Jason Wu dress will meet your approval. She donned the sweetly embellished frock at a New Moon benefit screening in Knoxville, TN. The sweetheart neck and flared silhouette are darling, and the belt adds further polish. Black Sergio Rossi leather peeptoe platforms elongate and match the maven's dark locks. Another winner for Kristen?

Vote on all Kristen's New Moon looks!

Jason Wu Takes on Tse

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:04:40 -0800

There's more reason to love Wu now that the designer has taken on a new project: designing a capsule collection for Tse. “When she [Tse's CEO, Christina Peng-Gerschultz] asked me if I wanted to do a capsule [line], I thought, ‘This could be interesting,’” said Wu. “In many ways, I am probably the least expected designer to do this, because Tse’s aesthetic is so different from my own, but that’s one reason I wanted to do it.”

The collection will be comprised of woven and knitwear pieces dipped in colorful hues. Tse, who currently works with Wu on producing his knitwear pieces, will debut the Fall '10 limited-edition capsule collection in February during New York Fashion Week. Prices are TBD, but we do know the line will hit Tse stores in July.

Fab Read: Mrs. O, The Face of Fashion Democracy

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Michelle Obama is such an icon, there's a second book dedicated to her first-class style. Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy ($18) follows the first lady's wardrobe choices, from her wedding dress to her White House getups. You'll also find interviews with designers like Maria Pinto, Isabel Toledo, and Jason Wu, who have all dressed Michelle. The author is Mary Tomer, the same person who started the Mrs. O blog, which reports about Michelle's daily outfits.

Behind the Seams: Wu Woos Hollywood's Hottest at Neiman Marcus

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Diane Kruger was the host. Jason Wu, the designer. Jessica Stroup, Amber Heard, Katie Cassidy, and Lily Collins - envious emerging talent - the supporting cast. Neiman Marcus, the venue. A small gathering of some Fab favorites occurred yesterday to preview Wu's feminine cool collection. Normally, I would have you choose the most Fab, but, honestly, they all looked awesome in the designer's spunky dresses and ladylike separates. Why did Diane host? Easy: she loves Jason Wu. She compares him to Chanel - his clothes span generations. As well, his creations are "sexy yet traditional." Well said Diane, go behind the seams!

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Naranja

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:56:05 -0700

Though I don't have a lot of it in my closet (do any of us?), I quite enjoy naranja, aka orange. It's optimistic, energizing, youthful - it is FitSugar's color, after all. Amongst all the white, neutrals, and grays of Spring, orange stood out to me at once. Red is Fall's favorite fiery hue, so it's no surprise its tangy sister has stepped in for Spring. Diane von Furstenberg didn't hold back - Chanel Iman is double layered in orange goodness. In need of a new outlook on life? Nibble on some naranja.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Jason Wu

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

I couldn't help but ask myself, "Would Michelle Obama wear that?", while checking out Jason Wu's tantalizing Spring collection. Indeed, I saw a couple pretty dresses that Michelle would jump for, but his creations aren't just for the First Lady. Any cutie would be so lucky to don his array of youthful separates and magical frocks. For separates, the designer dreamt up a range of sporty, yet polished tweed suits, chambray tops, metallic pleated skirts, and a ton of fun prints. Dresses varied from romantic shapes adorned with frothy feathers and intricate ruffles, to polished streamlined sheaths, and flirty cocktail dresses.

For color, Wu accompanied vibrant hues of coral, purple, blues, deep yellow, and pink with classic neutral tones. To offset the bold colors, the designer kept his shapes structured and modern. All together a very wearable, very wonderful collection - I cant wait until Spring! 2009 was a great year for Wu but I'm thinking 2010 might be even greater.

Let the Madness Begin! Designers Prep For New York Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

While I physically and mentally prepare myself for New York Fashion Week, designers are hard at work putting finishing touches on their creations. I can't wait to meet the clothes in person, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek of what's going on in the design studios as we speak. Some are in a frenzy - Betsey Johnson even prays to the fashion gods - while others like Jason Wu (left) are more calm. Drop by Donna Karan, Rachel Roy, Adam Lippes, Zac Posen, and more to see what they're up to.

Fall Glimpse: Pouf Piece

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

"I like your sleeves, they're real big." Little did Napoleon Dynamite know, pouf pieces, like Deb's sleeves, would be in vogue a few years later. We've been experiencing shoulder love for a couple seasons now and we agree shoulder pads are debatable. But for Fall, designers flounced and fluffed fabrics on all sorts of terrain. Front and center on a frock, cascading down a train, at the hip(s), along a hemline, and yes, on shoulders. If the popular shoulder pouf piece is too Dynasty for you, take a cue from the poufiest of the season, Louis Vuitton, and place one, or two, at your hips - dare to go there. Source: Getty
