Celebrity Style: Ali Larter

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

You know when you have a crush on someone and it fades, and then months later BAM! - you see them walking across the street looking immaculate? This happened to me with Heroes hottie Ali Larter. Girl's got it and she flaunts it. It's amazing how simple yet dramatic this look is. Ali pulled together some smart and sexy separates, kept her palette dark, and showed some skin. Bold yet cool accessories were key: Ray Ban Wayfarers, an oversize black patent satchel, and slit suede booties. Whipped.

Designer Spotlight: Shelly Steffee

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Shelly Steffee is a designer of the future. Based in NYC, this designer's philosophy in creating clothing is to "evoke an emotional response and enhance the individual." A serious philosophy for some serious clothes!

Steffee's clothes include sophisticated separates with sharp lines and muted colors; simple and chic outerwear, modernist gowns, and utilitarian tops. If you consider yourself a minimalist, here is an innovative designer for you. You can shop her creations via Refinery 29 and I think this Shelly Steffee Wrap Zip Top, $550, makes such a statement - it's like a modern Vivienne Westwood piece.

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:00:33 -0700

Minimalism is back! The Fall collections proved that clean, simple lines does not equal boring; take the stunning designs at Givenchy (pictured) for example. Instead, you'll find unique, and beautiful stand alone pieces the will make you feel at ease. And make you look like you threw something together in 10 minutes...ah, the beauty of minimalism.

2009 American Music Awards: Leona Lewis

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:42:30 -0800

Leona Lewis arrived at the AMAs in a black galactic frock complete with a sharp bust detail and double hemline. Since her dress says enough on its own, the singer accessorized minimally with a space-age ring and chain wrapped booties. Are you digging her funky ferocity?

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Calvin Klein

PopSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 05:00:33 -0700

The Calvin girl for Spring is quite a will-'o-the-wisp. The collection was very ephemeral and barely there, and the cuts were of the essential Calvin Klein persuasion. There were no frills, no muss, just clean, minimal pieces.

Pretty watered-down shades of blue, pink, yellow, gray, nude, and white, along with a few green pieces formed designer Francisco Costa's color palette. Everything was pure and fresh, from the green calf-length shift dress to the cream kimono-inspired jacket.

The essence of Calvin is here to stay, and I'm not going to complain - it's so elegant! I'm loving the streamlined look for Spring, it's so effortless.

Kristen Stewart in Futuristic Sheer Balenciaga: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:34:36 -0800

She's smiling wide - and her panties are showing! - I think she likes her latest New Moon premiere look. I can't blame Kristen, it's a brand spankin' new Balenciaga Spring '10 dress. The actress stuck with her favorite dark palette but the varying textures keep things interesting. And sexy - look, she's showing slight cleavage via sheer panels. Black booties and a black leather bracelet serve as minimal accessories. You dig?

2010 Spring: Calvin Klein, CK Jeans, and CK Underwear

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

Clean. Precise. Minimal. Three terms Calvin Klein wants you to use when describing its Spring '10 collection. Staying true to the house's less-is-more aesthetic, Francisco Costa has delivered a line of basics with a sexy utilitarian nature. You'll find organic fabrics and most colors of the rainbow: sand, white, and khaki as staples, canary, melon, poppy, fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt as accents. Drawstring cargos, denim vests, fitted blazers, parkas, denim judo pants, and shirt dresses are all solid. But one print piece stands out as the cool black sheep: a black-and-white, tie-dye dress that's feminine and bold.

Swimsuits are also part of the Spring family - a two-piece in warm gray and a one piece in solid gray or gray Bengal print. The handbags are equally minimal; hobos, totes, and rounded clutches are smooth and unstructured, with gold and silver hardware. Wooden-stacked heels and flat sandals are au naturel and sporty.

I Love Your Shopstyle: Minimalism

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Sometimes, a simple outfit can speak volumes. shealennon knows what I'm talking about. Her take on minimalism consists of a svelte LBD, killer heels, a clutch, and elegant accessories. All beautiful but the magic happens when you wrap that firey red scarf around your neck.

Who Wore It Better? Balmain Cut-Out Lace Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Alessandra won for most Fab at the Los Premios MTV Awards last week, but let's see if she can beat a fellow Victoria Secret vixen in this cut-out lace Balmain LBD. You have to have a bod for sin to pull this mini-mini dress off, and both gals definitely have that. Alessandra dripped some ice from her wrist and ears, while Selita wore minimal jewels. Sexy black sandals and teeny black clutches were chosen by both, but who wore Balmain better?
