Sophia Kokosalaki is venturing into the competitive world of premium denim. The Greek fashion designer will translate her signature Hellenic styling into an all black denim line embellished with lyre emblems and graphic stitching.

The clothing was self-inspired with Kokosalaki stating, "This collection is very me. I wear denim all the time and I always wear black." The Spring 2009 pre-collection will include pants, shorts, jackets, and miniskirts with prices retailed between 250 and 800 euros.

Anne Hathaway has been getting more rebellious and there's something sexy about a good girl who wears bad-girl clothes. Her asymmetrical black shiny Sophia Kokosalaki dress is one of the most eye-catching so far, but does it catch your eye?

Spring Peek: Exotica

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

Many designers were trippin' for Spring. Whether it was an escape to India, a safari through Africa, or an excursion to Belize, exotica is one of the most exciting and adventurous trends to look forward to. Just Cavalli knows how to pack for it, so take note. It's easy to doze off into woolgathering when perusing these looks - maybe they'll inspire you to book your next exotic escape. What's on Fab's mind? I'm itching to go to Amsterdam or Thailand. Bon voyage . . .

Spring Peek: Metallica

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Metallics are nothing new. But blinding beading, luxe fabrics, sheer sheen, Lurex lovin', and sequin overload, were runway dominant. Think of it as an evolution; this season's offerings are far from shy, they are as heavy hitting as Metallica. In-your-face, it's time to shine shine shine.

Can you refuse Versace's gold and silver beaded mini dress? I didn't think so. Yves Saint Laurent's forest green sequin jumper may be overboard for some, but I wouldn't kick it out of my bed. Lastly, I die for Karl Lagerfeld's silver liquid gown. Metal heads, are you with me?

2008 MTV Movie Awards Trend Alert: I've Been a Bad, Bad Girl

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:00:11 -0700

There were the goodie two shoes of the MTV Movie Awards and then there were the bad girls. Or well, wannabe bad girls. Guess which group can kick the asses of the other? You guessed right. There were a handful of bad girls dressed to kick in black, stilettos, and attitudes, but my favorites, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Charlize Theron, were the leaders of the pack. From Anne's black liquid Sophia Kokosalaki dress to SJP's white witch-inspired boots, to Charlize's sexy superhero getup, these ladies made it clear to not mess with them. Bad girl power!
