Designer Spotlight: Kate and Kass

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Raised in a family of film and music aficionados, it was destined that Anya Teresse meld her influences from her parents, Kate and Kass, into her passion of designing. From the time she was 12 years old, Kate and Kass designer, Anya Teresse, started using her lunch money to buy vintage clothing.

Drawing inspiration from classic old films and strong female figures from the past and present, Teresse designs clothing filled with strength, quirk, and femininity. Plackets, pleating, and pin-tuck detailing are apparent with each piece named after her influences such as the late and great Jackie Onassis and Jane Fonda. Her 2008 Fall collection encompasses a beautiful selection of vintage florals and feminine tones along with a couple modern pieces. My favorite? The sleek and chic batwing Michelle Obama jacket.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

On Sunday, Nicky Hilton, along with Paris' ex-flame Stavros Niarchos, visited her sister at the medical jail facility where Paris is locked up. Though her mood was somber, her outfit was quite cheerful! I am really liking her LWD, wedge sandals and Fendi aviator shades! I wonder if Paris was jealous that her younger sis was dressed so cute while she had to sport drab jail clothes.

Fab Ad: Versace Spring/Summer '07

I remember a time when supermodels reigned in the fashion industry. It was an era when we were on first name basis with Christy (Turlington), Kate (Moss), Cindy (Crawford) and Claudia (Schiffer). It was a time when Naomi (Campbell) wasn't known for her phone-throwing antics and Tyra (Banks) didn't have an Oprah-esque talk show. Where oh where have those times gone?!

I absolutely bow down to Versace's Spring/Summer '07 ad campaign because it attempts to recreate the infamous supermodel era of the early 90s. Although you can't see it in the photos above, the ads, which are in all of the major fashion mags right now, say "Carolyn, Kate and Carmen for Versace." Equally enthusiastic about the supermodel era are our friends at Fashionista, who did a post about Vogue's 100th Anniversary cover with the greatest supermodels.

One of the greatest photogs, Mario Testino, shot these ads with famous models Kate (no last name necessary here!), Carmen Kass, Angela Lindvall and Carolyn Murphy. Like all of Mario's work, the ads ooze glamour and sophistication. The fabric hues are rich and are the perfect contrast to the models' blond, silky hair.

What do you think about Versace's Spring/Summer '07 ad campaign?
