FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:51:57 -0700

UPDATE: Jean Paul Gaultier's exclusive line for Target will debut in stores and online on March 7. Photos haven't been released yet, but we do know the collection will feature pieces inspired by American women and pop culture from the past and the present.

We have no sneak peeks yet, but we do know it's going to happen. Jean Paul Gaultier has signed on with Target to be the next Designer Collaborator. Anna Sui's collab is available in stores and online now and included a pop-up store in NYC; sources say a pop-up may happen for Gaultier. I'm looking forward to a cool dose of Parisian chic and some hot prints. Stay tuned . . .

2009 Fall Couture: Jean Paul Gaultier

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Judging from Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall couture creations, he didn't have a shortage of inspiration. The powerful warrior princess, the chic '20s flapper, the old-Hollywood actress, and the feisty futuristic goddess all had a place on the catwalk . . . and in JPG's eyes, they all prevail. Exquisite gowns set a glamorous tone: some with floor-length capes attached to them, some robe-like, and some chiffon with armor-like bodices. Fur played a big part - fur collars, coats, chubbies, and skirts made appearances. And what's luxury without beading? It showed up in the most unique ways, my favorite being the fine gold beaded overalls Kim Noorda rocked. Color didn't play a big part, but there were random bouts of rich purple, yellow, pink, and brown.

Paul Smith Recreates Sunnies For Oakley

FabSugar — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:50:22 -0700

There's nothing like a pair of cool sunnies, well maybe a pair of hot heels, but sunnies come in a close second. To further feed my addiction, Paul Smith has teamed up with Oakley to create a cool remix of its iconic '86 Oakley Frogskins - the quirky name refers to the rubbery-like finish. I'm pretty smitten with the girly pink hues and the tinted shades. Apparently, these sunnies were a big hit with surfers and skaters back in the day and I'm sure peeps will go ga-ga over them all over again. It certainly caught my attention. If you want a pair, act fast - only 500 pairs are available at Paul Smith shops and its e-commerce site.

Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Sister Sweater Onesie: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 08:00:22 -0800

In a tropical locale, like St. Tropez, this Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Sister Sweater Onesie ($88), might work. However, I can't see myself wearing this crochet knit one-piece in a city scene; a little too much skin if you know what I mean. Do you love it or hate it?

2008 Fall Couture: Jean Paul Gaultier

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:00:22 -0700

If Ursula from The Little Mermaid had a closet, many pieces from Jean Paul Gaultier's 2008 Fall Couture collection would hang in it. First thing you notice when dissecting this line is the intricate details such as piping that can be mistaken for octopus legs.
The bright colors - cobalt, neon yellow, orange, green - take center stage and up the drama factor. Protruding feathers on several dresses also stand out. Fur, leather, and satin play a key role. Leather gloves with neon piping are badass while fur collars are sophisticated. While most pieces are creature-like, some give a nod to the equestrian theme. I can't say that any of the pieces are translatable to real life but they sure electrocute the runway!

Paul & Joe Awa Bow Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

Paul & Joe's resort collection has just arrived at Shopbop and I am sort of liking Paul & Joe's Awa Bow Dress ($341). Even though the voluminous sleeves can be trendy, Nina Garcia says in her Little Black Book of Style to buy with drama sometimes. Still, I wouldn't pay that much for a faddish dress. Maybe when it goes on sale? What do you think?

Paule Marrot Meets Hayden-Harnett Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:24:33 -0800

Brooklyn based handbag duo Hayden-Harnett have created a limited edition line inspired by Paule Marrot's signature prints. Largely popular in the middle of the last century, Jackie Kennedy was an admirer, these classic prints mesh very nicely with Hayden-Harnett's buttery leather bags. There are several designs to choose from and my pick is this Mosaique Convertible Hobo in Khaki, $545, which features a leather applique pattern and an exclusive Paule Marrot-designed print lining (I'm a sucker for fun linings). It also has great interior organization - which is helpful with a deep design like this. I love a dose of boho chic via a great handbag.
