Designer Spotlight: Tamara Pogosian

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:00:22 PST

Armenian designer Tamara Pogosian may have started her fashion career in 2002 when she debuted her first collection, but her passion for clothes was seeded long before that. Born in Armenia, raised in Russia, Tamara experienced her love for fashion at the age of 12, when she would watch Fashion Television with host Jeanie Becker (me too!). She instantly knew she wanted to be in the industry in some capacity.

In 1992, she moved to NYC to attend Parson's School of Design and FIT and that's where her career gained wings. Besides designing her own men's and women's line, Tamara also freelances for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Coach, DKNY Jeans, Victoria's Secret, and more.

Simply Fab: Jockey "No Panty Line Promise" Tactel Modern Brief

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:00:22 PST

Fashion week confessional: during my first days of fashion week in New York I had the worst wedgies. I don't know if it was the mad rushing, the humidity or my lame boy shorts - a combination of all three I'm sure. But, like a true fabionista, I kept on keepin' on. One magical day I wore these Jockey® "No Panty Line Promise" Tactel Modern Briefs ($8.50) and my butt cheeks were the happiest. Yes, they promise no VPLs, but they should double that promise. After all, wedgies are not, and will never be, in vogue.

New York Fashion Week Key Color: Orange

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:00:22 PDT

Orange people...are happy and spontaneous. They are friendly and open and have a wonderful ability to become awed with things. The orange person reminds us of the child in ourselves. Positive and worry-free orange people are health-oriented, hence FitSugar! Orange people are lovers of life.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Jeweled Necks

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:30:22 PDT

If you were hypnotized by all the fabulous jewels at the Emmys, like me, prepare yourself for more sparkly delights. Spring's jeweled necks are functional fashion; it's jewelry built right in so you can rationalize a splurge. For those not built in, it's time to start looking for a statement necklace.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: One Shoulder

FabSugar — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 00:33:33 PDT

True, the one-shoulder is not a new trend. But for some reason I was really digging it on the Spring runways. Maybe it just makes more sense to show a little asymmetrical skin when the sunshine is beaming down on your glistening skin. Maybe that's just my fantasy, but it sure sounds nice no?

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Sportif

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:00:22 PDT

If these inspiring sportif looks don't convince you right now to get off your bum and get physical, maybe come Spring they will. Looks ready for the tennis court, a game of croquet or even just a dog walk around the neighborhood are considered high fashion, so put your most stylish sneaker forward and go sportif!

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Polka Dots

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 05:00:22 PDT

Nothing puts a smile on my face like polka dots. This happy motif is fun, feminine and whimsical. And really, quite classic. But these Spring polka dots are modern; some of them metallic, some of the digitized, all of them Fab.

New York Fashion Week Key Color: White

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:30:33 PDT

We just had a whitewash of a Summer, and there is no end in sight for the starkest color of all. White was once again omnipresent amidst a varicolored New York Spring, so officially blast those white-is-reserved-for-weddings-only thoughts. Blanco beauty even appeared officially deeming white is here to stay.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Sheer Bliss

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:30:33 PDT

Some designers showed sheer bliss on the New York catwalks. The unveiling of sheer materials and details on dresses and skirts is a definite sign that fashion is saying goodbye to dressing little girls and hello to dressing women. What I mean is, sheer can be both sweet and spicy. Revel in your own sheer bliss this Spring no matter what direction you choose...
