OK, so bold, bright fruit-punch coloured lipstick isn't groundbreaking for Spring, but it sure was a welcome change from all of the barely made up faces that we saw on the catwalks during New York Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Designers like Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Derek Lam, Rebecca Taylor and more have incorporated colourful lips into the beauty styles at their shows. Take a peek at 13 fun lipstick looks here!

It was the final day of Fashion Week, and while I'm sad to see it go, I'm excited to discover how many of these hair and makeup looks will make the transition into the mainstream. These final two days were absolutely lovely, with more old-guard designers like Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, and Oscar De La Renta injecting an elegance that nicely hedged the experimental looks from younger designers.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Nanette Lepore & Fab Exclusive Interview!

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Nanette Lepore's designs have always been popular with party-ready ladies and now I know why: Nanette herself is a fun-loving girlie girl. Check out my exclusive interview with her after a few words about her Fall collection . . .

What I loved most were the black and ivory pieces, actually. Lepore really knows how to use Chantilly lace and tailor a pant. There were some coats with serious character - a common theme throughout the New York shows - and some highly desirable knits. A fuchsia knit dress caught my eye backstage and on the runway. Her suiting always has a way of being sexy and '30s inspired dresses were classic, but modern. The Warhol-esque flower print was bright enough to stand out in a crowd but mellow enough to wear every day.

Have you done anything different with your Fall collection?

What’s new and different is we edited the runway show down to 28 looks. It’s all about growing up and being mature about throwing out what’s not fabulous.

That’s totally what I’m trying to do with my closet!

I know, it’s so hard and I feel like I’ve done so many shows and I’ve finally achieved this point where I’m 20 looks fewer than I used to do. Because it’s so hard in life to know what’s good and what’s not good. So it’s really working through and jumping on ideas early enough that we only have the star ones.

But the real idea behind the show is just going out and partying and being a fabulous, confident, sexy woman. Going to a cocktail party in a tiara and feeling good about yourself. But what I love about this collection is that there are lots of classics.

There’s black and white tweed mixed with all shades of pink - from powder pink to fuchsia. Then big bold flower prints, which are anchored with Chantilly lace and velvet to bring them into a Fall feel. And pearls! Little bits of pearl beading and brooches. When I thought about the collection I thought these are staples for every woman’s wardrobe. The great high waisted pencil skirt, pretty Chantilly lace tops and bustiers, and pearls. And pink!

What are your favorite pieces from the collection?

The bohemian blouse with pearl beading, a fitted chiffon stripe dress that flairs really full at the hips with sequin edging, I love the little black dress – it’s a very pretty corseted silhouette, with a draped sleeve.

Any new collaborations we can get excited for?

We have a lingerie licensing we expect to sign very shortly. And we have new shops opening on Melrose in LA and in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Who are your fashion icons?

I love going through and looking at anyone from the ‘30s - Schiaparelli, Coco Chanel. Currently John Galliano, his recent couture collection was unbelievable. I always love Gaultier because he has such a fun aesthetic to the way he mixes things up. And Prada too; she’s always doing something really interesting.

What are three key pieces every woman should have in her closet?

A high waisted pencil skirt, a beautiful evening coat and a sexy pair of feminine pumps.

Brooke, Kim & Lindsay Make Fashion Week a Lipstick Jungle

Molly — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:30:45 -0800

Lipstick Jungle is taking full advantage of their timing, piggybacking all sorts of parties and events with the beginning of Fashion Week in New York. Last night all the ladies of the show - Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price - were out for the big premiere party and this morning they used the oversized scissors to cut the ribbon officially kicking off the week alongside show creator Candace Bushnell. Sure this show is more than a little hard to distinguish from Cashmere Mafia but thankfully Buzz is here to help us keep them separate. Plus, we'll take any new TV we can get these days. So anyone excited to see yet another group of well dressed Manhattan women on primetime starting Feb 7...or are you over it?

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Nanette Lepore

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 05:00:33 -0700

What started off with a bang with bold, neon-like prints ended smoothly with those somewhat overbearing prints paired with cool greys. Phew! You all know I am an avid Nanette Lepore fan so I was happy with the eventual collection transition.

With a mix of soft draping, vertical ruffles and one-shoulders this collection was obviously feminine. But, suiting and khaki separates saved the collection from being too fluffy. Special details like fabric contrasting on the insides and undersides of garments, embroidery & beading and colorful, rhinestone rings added luxe. The fun stripes and retro florals were youthful and oh so Lepore. These swanky, sassy looks were topped off by python belts, head scarves, and colorful sandals. Overall, pretty luscious!
