Who Wore It Better? White Yoana Baraschi Origami Sundress

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:00:22 -0700

While sister Nicky opted to wear a fun Tibi dress to the The Good Life photograph event, Paris Hilton chose to show up in head-to-toe white. In fact, she wore the same origami-detailed Yoana Baraschi dress that Halle Berry wore last week while running errands in LA. Halle went the more casual route and chose to mix it up by wearing red flip-flops and an ivory Versace bag. Which look are you digging more - Halle's casual femme or Paris's matchy white on white?

Spring may have sprung, but that doesn't mean there isn't still a chilly breeze in store. That's where this lovely light knit cardi comes into play. Its loose swingy fit will envelope you, and its origami-flowered shoulders lend the springworthy femininity you need. If it feels too loosey goosey for you, belt it!

Simply Fab: Origami Greeting Card

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:21:22 -0700

How cool is this: a greeting card that not only does the normal job of carrying a message, but also pops up and doubles as an origami ornament! The Winter Card, $9.90, was inspired by the Chinese "Magic Flower" paper toy, and comes in lots of different bright colors and patterns. It's perfect for a unique way to tell your best friend happy birthday, your mom thank you, or just to write a quick note to a coworker!

Trend Alert: A Lesson in Origami

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:20:22 -0700

Origami is rad. The delicate folds, the craftiness, and the pretty paper all make for a pretty cool hobby. Origami folds have crept onto clothes and I think it's a refreshing treatment after months of ruffles and ruching. These little puckers take a garment from plain to artsy, in just a little tuck.

Amber Valletta in Silver Oscar de la Renta: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:00:00 -0700

The World Oceans Day celebration brought out a gaggle of well-dressed women to the Hudson Terrace in NYC. Supermodel and now-designer Amber Valletta attended the fête wearing a strapless silver Oscar de la Renta Resort 2010 dress that has an interesting origami detail on the skirt. In an attempt to toughen the look up, she paired it with black peep-toe booties with pearl detail. Her black-satin clutch and rhinestone necklace spice her up some more. What do you think - did it all come together beautifully or did it fall flat?

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Marchesa

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:36:36 -0700

Sometimes it's not a hard decision. This was my favorite gown at Marchesa. Done. Why is it always the purple one? While we ponder that, also notice the hand-painted floral tattoo hosiery - pretty cool. And those are custom Louboutins, in case you were wondering. Marchesa was inspired by "the drama and romance of Madame Butterfly," and the red-carpet-ready creations were therefore embellished with handmade origami and sculptured beauty. Beaded flowers and contrasting colors added intrigue, while the palette went from soft mint and lilac to black and fuchsia. Corsets supplied an erotic note. You know my fave, which is yours?

Celeb Style: Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Fashion's Night Out brought out many celebs, one of them being the lovely Kate Hudson. The actress kicked off the night at Vogue's pop-up shop inside Macy's, alongside Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, and Michael Kors. Keeping her fashionable was a strapless plaid Michael Kors dress, long gold Jack Vartanian earrings and gold bangle, and metallic peep-toe pumps. I adore the origami detail on the bodice - perfect for the occasion.

Floral fringe chandelier earring - $42.00	Geo Bangle Bracelet - $30.00

Teen Choice Awards: Kim Kardashian

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:43:28 -0700

This time it's not a wig, folks. Kim took the plunge and lightened her locks. It complements her origami pleat white Stella McCartney frock, but I'm not sure this dress was the best choice - it draws unnecessary attention to the hips. I love Kim's curves, but this dress doesn't. Love or hate?

Cameron Diaz stepped into the limelight at the premiere of My Sister's Keeper, wearing a stunning white asymmetrical J.Mendel dress and nude suede sandals from Pierre Hardy. The intricate origami pleats are a unique touch, and I love how the actress added a rocker vibe to her look by accessorizing with a punky black and gold Roger Vivier clutch. Chunky gold earrings and a matching ring complete her red-carpet ensemble. Love the 'fit, love Cam.
