Vogue Special Delivery

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Ding-dong, Vogue special delivery. Say what?! It's not every day one gets an urgent marked box from the fashion bible. Open, and find the hefty September issue encapsulated within a clear sleeve attached to handles. If you can manage to ignore the bewildering Keira Knightley on the cover, it's quite a cool gimmick. Since you probably can't fit all 798 pages in your handbag, no worries, just carry as-is. It's even protected from the elements - you know, PETA advocates and thunderstorms - with the vinyl overlay. In a dark time when fashion magazines are struggling to stay afloat, such shenanigans are sure to impress.

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:30:08 -0700

The September Issue opens at a theater near you this Friday - look out for my review earlier that day - but the stars got to see the highly anticipated flick last night. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the location and the guest list included Ginnifer Goodwin, Shenae Grimes, Jennifer Morrison, and more. Unlike us, who go to the movies in jeans, these celebs donned the cutest frocks. To their defense, there was a red carpet rolled out for the screening.

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Vogue fiends, mark your calendars for Aug. 28, the day R.J. Cutler's film, The September issue comes out. But before you prebuy your Fandango ticket, check out the 2.29-second trailer below. It's juicier than juicy, The Devil Wears Prada-ish, but nonfiction! The highlights? Anna admits that her father, once the editor of Evening Standard, convinced her to be a fashion editor and helped her get the Vogue job. Must be nice. Also, designer Thakoon Panichgul likens Anna to Madonna. And Anna tells Oscar de la Renta to axe an outfit she dislikes from his collection. K'tsh, k'tsh!

Fab Flash: Vogue's First Film

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 12:00:22 -0800

If you've ever wondered what really goes on behind the doors at Vogue, your curiosity can soon be quenched. After eight months of open access to Anna Wintour and her team, film director R.J. Cutler will debut his chronicle, The September Issue, this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival. “My observation with the creativity in the hallways and offices is that Vogue is like the mist. You don’t think it’s raining and all of a sudden you’re soaking wet,” Cutler said.

The movie centers around the creation of Vogue's biggest issue - September 2007 - which Cutler credits as Wintour's idea. Cutler also follows Wintour's personal relationships with her late father Charles Wintour and daughter Bee Shaffer. Guest appearances include Thakoon Panichgul, Oscar de la Renta, and Karl Lagerfeld.

Anna Wintour Holds Her Own On Letterman

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:23:29 -0700

ICYMI, Anna Wintour made her debut on The Late Show with David Letterman last night to discuss her documentary, The September Issue, and all things fashion. As expected the Vogue editor held her own in her Carolina Herrera dress as Dave dished out the fashion jokes and references to her ice queen reputation - Anna rebuttled, I'm "Lukewarm Royalty with a Whip from Outer Space." Dave even asked her if she's ever put anyone in a headlock. No doubt, Anna prevailed and even showed off her fun sense of humor. Anna, we knew you would be fabulous. Check it out.

Trend Alert: 54 Jumpsuit

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Cassie and I would have had hella fun at Studio 54 - but we would have had to coordinate clothes because she donned a 54 Jumpsuit last night at The September Issue premiere in NYC and I bought my Rachel Rachel Roy one last night. Great minds . . .

I am super stoked to flaunt mine. I know jumpsuits are trendy, but this classic black one says staying power, and dance party, to me. I was envisioning mine with strappy metallic sandals and sexy jewelry, but platform boots and hot pink nails are a fun Fall option.

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller stood out amongst major fashion heads last night at the NYC premiere of The September Issue wearing an icy-blue confection by Thakoon. I love how the ruched strapless bodice and short hemline emotes major flirt factor. For extra panache, the cover star wore gold Jimmy Choo sandals, chandelier earrings, clear Lennon-esque sunnies, and a fancy Bottega Veneta woven clutch. No doubt, Sienna's on fire with her recent red-carpet creations.

Cate Blanchett Helps Vogue Australia Celebrate 50

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

What better way for Vogue Australia to celebrate its big 5-0 than to have Cate Blanchett on its cover. Or rather, covers. The Aussie actress graces not one, but four, covers of the September issue, which is 360 pages. London-based illustrator David Downton drew all four stunning portraits. I thought Cate was stunning in photos but she's even better animated!

The highlights of the issue? A 10-page spread of swimsuits created exclusively for the edition by Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce and Gabbana, and more, and a 28-page editorial featuring Aussie models Catherine McNeil and Abbey Lee Kershaw. Sounds like a collectors item to me.

A Fabby Halloween: Vogue Queen Bee, Anna Wintour

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Do you have the gall to be Vogue editor Anna Wintour for Halloween this year? Then you've got some major competition. Model Snejana Onopka, left, did a spot-on impersonation of Anna in Vogue Paris a while back. Let it be your guide. I first suggest watching The September Issue, you know, as field research. Next, it's imperative to have the following Anna signatures: a perfectly neat bob wig, some form of (faux) fur, dark sunglasses, and slingback sandals with a kitten heel. Also, carry the latest issue of Vogue, hunch over just a tad, and don't crack a smile. I know, it's tough being Anna, but well worth it.

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Fab Blab: Carine Roitfeld on Anna Wintour's Job

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:10:08 -0700

Carine Roitfeld has revealed that she won't stay at Vogue Paris for much longer. But what will she do? She hinted at filmmaking during a recent chat with the French Le Journal du Dimanche. When asked if one day she will succeed Anna Wintour as American Vogue editor, she said: "I would consider it, but I think I would refuse it. I’m not sure I have her strength. . . . Anna Wintour shows fashion and the collections. She sees everything and imposes her choices. Myself, I leave room for a lot of points of view." After seeing The September Issue, yep, that sounds about right.
