Fab Body Guide: Assets Unbelievable Underwear

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

The creator of Spanx, Sara Blakely, is continuing her streak of genius with a new line of shapewear called Assets by Sara Blakely ($10-$20).

Take your pick from the unbelievable underwear (left), which sucks in bulges; the sensational shaper, which minimizes your waistline; and the fabulous footless, which makes you look slimmer in the thigh area. As far as I'm concerned, any product that makes me look more streamlined is A-OK!

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Biker Shorties

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

We've been advocating biker shorties for a while now. What can I say - I love the '90s. When I spied lots of them at New York Fashion Week my heart palpitated with excitement. Before you start judging, let me point out the way DKNY wore them: higher, subtle, colorful styles paired unexpectantly under tailored shorts and sleek jumpers. It just so happens, these are DKNY "Smoothies" - the brand's latest form of shapewear debuting in January. The 70-plus denier yarn combinations will come in seven matte finish colors and come in three styles: a bike short, high bike short, and capri style. Start your imagination engines.

Fab Flash: Janet Jackson's Lingerie Revealed

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:00:22 -0700

R&B diva Janet Jackson recently announced she's getting cheeky with a new lingerie collection and the proof is here. Pleasure Principle, named after a hit single off the singer's 1986 Control album, is set to land in stores by the end of this year or early 2009. The collection is the brainchild of Jackson and the Australian lingerie designer behind Dr. Rey's Shapewear line, Bruno Schiavi (pictured).

The 18-piece bra and underwear collection mostly consists of lace and satins in sizes ranging from 32A to 44G. Prices are affordable at under $40 for each piece. So why lingerie? “It’s something for every woman, and I truly do mean that. It makes you feel sexy,” Jackson said. I couldn't agree more.

Fab Flash: Jessica Simpson Shares Her Intimate Style

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:00:22 -0700

If there's one thing Jessica Simpson may know something about when it comes to clothes it's intimates. After all, this blond starlet is fabulously busty. Simpson will be expanding her successful fashion line to include bras, panties, sleepwear, and daywear launching Spring of '09. As Simpson put it, "I like different lingerie for different occasions. I think that's the best thing about it. You can feel sexy or girly depending on your mood. It is the first thing you put on. If you start with something that fits correctly and is comfortable and fashionable, it will only complement your look." She believes lingerie is an important element in a woman's wardrobe. Agreed.

And Simpson isn't forgetting those ugly VPLs; she's also got that covered. That's why she is including stylish shapewear. Now that sounds Fab.
