Fab Read: Liz Claiborne, The Legend, The Woman

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:00:22 PDT

Most of us know Liz Claiborne as the fashion legend, but what about the rest of her life? The answer is right here in Liz Claiborne: The Legend, The Woman ($17), a memoir written by Liz's husband and business partner, Art Ortenberg. The book details Liz and Art's professional success with the Liz Claiborne brand, along with personal tales of their philanthropic adventures, and Liz's fight with cancer. "Liz left us more than her work," said Art. "Perhaps more than the consequences of her work; she left us herself. The making of that self, and the good she did for others, is the story I tell." So inspiring!

Fab Ad: Liz Claiborne, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:50:22 PDT

Liz Claiborne creative director Isaac Mizrahi has taken his girls back to the streets. For Spring it was Georgina Stojiljković in the city; for Fall it's Coco Rocha in the country. The Canadian model looks so royal, so mature in her long pleated plaid skirt and plaid shirt. I'm especially taken by the vibrant autumnal hues. And look: Coco's super-red hair sort of matches the roofs of the houses. Equally dazzling in color is the shot of Coco in a grocery store (below). What do you make of Liz Claiborne's Fall ads? If you fancy the plaid-happy clothes, shop them now.

Fab Finger Discount: Liz Claiborne Stretch Poplin Sack Dress

FabSugar — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:33:22 PDT

Sometimes it's hard to find truly unique frocks that aren't obscenely expensive, but this Liz Claiborne Stretch Poplin Sack Dress ($39, originally $99) is the exception. Trust me, if they had my size, I'd be all over it. What's not to love? The bold persimmon hue is mesmerizing, the paperbag neckline is different, and the pockets are functional. What's also great is that you can dress it up with heels and dress it down with flats.

Look Book Love: Liz Claiborne, Spring '09

To say that Isaac Mizrahi has revitalized Liz Claiborne would be an understatement. The majority of you loved his Spring ad, so you'll fall head over heels for his Spring Look Book, too. The first thing it did for me was make me want to play around with color in an urgent way. Also, it made me realize the designer has the unique ability to make preppy and prissy look youthful and cool. Spring is a more lively season thanks to Isaac!

Fab Ad: Isaac Mizrahi For Liz Claiborne Spring '09

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:00:22 PDT

When Izaac Mizrahi announced he was leaving Target for Liz Claiborne, I wondered what kind of ad campaign he would concoct. Little did I know, he would put himself in the photos! Peep the designer sitting at the right corner in a neon head scarf, staring at model Georgina Stojiljković prancing by. The Spring collection is snappy, crisp, and so are the ads. I dig the juxtaposition between the urban setting and colorful, preppy clothes. Are you with me?

Sneak Peek! Isaac Mizrahi's First Claiborne Collection

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:09:13 PST

It's been almost a year since Isaac Mizrahi announced his departure from Target for Liz Claiborne. Now, his debut collection for Claiborne is finally out and ready for perusal. The line is quintessential Isaac, designed in fresh colors and sporty cuts.

“[The clothes] look wonderful. It’s supposed to be snappy. I hate to use the word ‘grown-up,’ but it’s slightly more grown-up,” says Mizrahi. The vivid prints are a refreshing take on the mid-priced line, and I like how he experimented with different necklines. Definitely a change from Claiborne's past designs. The line hits department stores in February. Are you excited?

Fab Flash: Issac Mizrahi For Liz Claiborne Sketches Revealed

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:00:08 PDT

With his Target contract expiring at the end of the year, Isaac Mizrahi is getting ready to move on to the world of Liz Claiborne. The deal was sealed in January and Issac is now showing off his sporty collection filled with color and fresh cuts such as the safari-inspired designs, seen below.

In his debut collection for the brand, Mizrahi offers up a selection of pantsuits, trench coats, and complementing accessories made in vibrant hues. Essentially, the line includes Mizrahi signatures but on a more-tempered scale than in the past. With items ranging from $30 for a tee to $250 for outerwear, it's pricier than his collaboration with Target, but I'm willing to give it a try. The collection will hit the racks in January.

Affordable Designer Laptop Sleeves - What More Could a Girl Want?

GeekSugar — Sun, 04 May 2008 10:05:32 PDT

As much as I am still drooling over UpTown Bella's laptop sleeve in juicy yellow, I can appreciate the fact that not everyone is a fan of brightly colored bags.

This Jacquard Laptop Sleeve is the perfect solution for those who want something a little bit more subdued - as its pastel patchwork print is subtle but yet, totally stylish. Choose from other styles as well including pink and gold.

And the best part? Each protective sleeve only costs $28!

Celebrity Style: Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci arrived at JFK airport in NY with her adorable Frenchie, Ramon in tow. He and Annabelle would be such cute playmates! Mother and pup are both preppy - Christina in plaid and Ramon in argyle. She's kick-back and comfy, but doesn't sacrifice style. Have fun with your new buddy Christina!

Ever since Tim Gunn joined Liz Claiborne, he's been facilitating a lot of shakeups. The latest? Poaching Isaac Mizrahi from Target to head up Liz Claiborne's women's line starting in Spring 2009. Claiborne is looking to Mizrahi to reinvigorate the languishing line with his color sensibilities and mainstream appeal.

The Isaac Mizrahi For Target collection, which has enjoyed a strong five-year run, will continue to be available at Target through the end of 2008. Buy it while it lasts!
