Trend Alert: Kimono Cuts

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:00:08 PST

There's something about kimono cuts that give off a Zen-like feel. Is it the wide sleeves or flattering shape? Or maybe it's the robe-inspired cut. Whatever it is, I dig it. Check out this McQ Bird Intarsia Kimono Dress ($293, originally $585). The foldover cut and funky print is the perfect mix of East meets West.

Trend Alert: Memoirs Of A Kimono Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 10:57:23 PST

An exotic distant cousin of the wrap dress, this comfy yet sassy dress is very popular these days. Usually found in colorful prints, this is a great dress that can transition from work day to night play with the help of a simple sweater or cardigan. It's always fun to mix it up with an Asian flair. Here are my designer and non-designer picks:

Gwen, Zuma, and Kingston Play in the Dirt and Pick Their Own Produce

Katie Henry — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 03:15:00 PDT

Gwen Stefani took Zuma and Kingston Rossdale on a mini adventure to Moorpark's Underwood Family Farm Saturday afternoon to pick fruits and vegetables. Despite the gloomy weather and a broken arm Zuma didn't let that stop him from joining in the fun. Gwen dressed down in a pea coat and trousers, but for her Harajuku-inspired tea party fundraiser earlier this month she chose an over the top hairstyle and sexy kimono-inspired romper. Gwen's philanthropic efforts raised more than $120,000 for Japan relief and to thank the donors Gwen and the members of No Doubt treated the guests to a surprise concert. She and her band have an album in the works, and Gwen says she's done with her solo career and wants to focus her efforts on collaborating with the group, fashion, and her family.

Steal Selma Blair's Belted Maternity Style With Little Effort

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:05:29 PDT

Jessica Alba isn't the only mama-to-be who's mastered a casual chic maternity style. Selma Blair, who's due with her first child this Summer, has taken to tying a Japanese-style Obi belt right above her growing bump to define her pregnancy shape. She's shown off the look en route to the nail salon, belting an open wool cardigan ($22) over a flowing print maxi dress ($72), as well as at a TOMS shoes launch, piecing together a pair of maternity jeggings ($105) and a kimono-style snake-print top ($30). The easy-to-replicate look helps pregnant mamas show off their shape without having to wear skin-tight clothes.

Simple Outfits For Bringing Baby Home From the Hospital

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 05:32:50 PDT

Get dressed for the occasion! Bringing home baby is a big deal and 81 percent of our readers bought a special ensemble for their newborn to wear on the special day. For many new parents, getting their tot ready for the ride home is the first time they've ever dressed their lil one. With that in mind, its important to pick out an outfit that is easy to put on a squirmy baby. Look for clothes with buttons, ties or snaps to close them, rather than those that go over the head. Many new parents also like to buy pieces that close on the side, kimono-style, to avoid having anything rub the umbilical cord stump that is most likely still in tact. For those looking for a simple set to include in their hospital bag, check out these classic options.

Ralph Lauren Runway Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week

FabTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 17:27:43 PST

For Fall 2011, Ralph Lauren brought in a little East to mix in with his signature Western sartorial spirit. Kimono-style dresses, Chinoiserie smoking jackets, and embroidered wraps and coats were all accented by jade and crimson jewelry, and the slick red, green, and jet black palette underscored the Far East theme. Yet, that wasn’t the only inspiration; Paris (perhaps by way of Shanghai) slipped in via an Art Deco-esque dress and felted cloche combo, and with a sexy pin-striped suit topped off with an opulent fur stole. To see all the playfully seductive ensembles, watch our runway coverage now!
