Estelle may be a Grammy award-winning singer, but that isn't going to stop her from trying out other creative outlets. After designing a tee for H&M and collaborating on a handbag design with Jonathan Kelsey, singer Estelle is ready to take it up a notch with an even bigger fashion endeavor: creating a jewelry collection with Rachel Roy. “I am excited to work with Estelle on a jewelry collection, which will debut in spring 2010," dished Rachel Roy via Twitter. We'll have to wait and see what the two come up with, but I'm hoping for something funky and metallic.

Trend Alert: Witchy Woman

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:00:22 PDT

It makes perfect sense to wear lace-up booties in the Winter; it's aberrant in the beginnings of Summer. It's no secret global warming is in full effect and it's throwing off designers and retailers alike. As for us shoppers, I say, the more we can wear our favorite things, the better.

While everyone else was wearing open toe sandals and platforms - the us(ual) - at the MTV Movie Awards, Sarah Jessica Parker was a witchy woman in her white lace up Christian Louboutin boots and L'Wren Scott dress.

Hot tip: Hike up that hemline and let your gams do the talking, it is Summer after all.

On Our Radar: Mulberry Delves Into Footwear

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:00:22 PST

Remember when I said shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey is going to give Christian Louboutin some competition? Well, my prediction seems to be right on. London brand Mulberry is moving into footwear, and Kelsey is responsible for designing a five-piece capsule collection to debut at Mulberry's London Fashion Week Fall '08 show. We have riding boots, pumps, and shoots (shoe-boots) to look forward to on the February 14 presentation . . . but we'll have to wait until September to make the beauties ours. If all goes well for Mulberry's foray into footwear, we'll be seeing more collections in the future.

Shoe Designer Spotlight: Jonathan Kelsey

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 09:00:22 PST

Move over Christian Louboutin - there's a new shoe man in town, and he's serving up sexy and intelligent footwear. I'm not implying that Loub needs to move out, but his new neighbor, Jonathan Kelsey, is posing a serious threat. Jonathan honed his skills at Jimmy Choo, Cacharel, and Giles Deacon, so his posh designs should come as no surprise. His current collection, available at Saks Fifth Avenue, is a nod to the mid-'70s collection in his mother's closet. Cute! Prices range from $550 to $975. Pricey, yes, but so hard to say no.
