Fab Blab: Angelina Jolie's Stylist Dishes on Her Custom-Made Versace Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

A while back, I interviewed Angelina Jolie's stylist Jennifer Rade. I recently ran into her again at a Marciano event, and she had lots more to say about "Angie." Jen had just flown in from NYC, where she worked with Angelina on her Changeling red carpet look. She and the actress dreamed up the custom-made Versace LBD together. So why did Angelina play it safe? Jen explained that while most people only have a strong eye, a strong jawline, or a strong lip, Angelina has them all.

Therefore, she wears minimal, classic clothing that lets her features shine. Makes sense. Jen has suggested frillier frocks to her client, but to no avail. She even pulled a colorful cocktail dress from the closest rack and we agreed it would be too busy for Angelina. Now if only the actress had been there to put in her two cents!

Fab Read: Stylist, The Interpreters of Fashion

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 16:30:22 -0700

In the past couple of years, celebrity stylists like Rachel Zoe have really been thrust into the limelight. But the position has been around since the '30s, and the job description typically covers much more than making sure an actress looks Fab on the red carpet.

Stylist: The Interpreters of Fashion, $48, by Sarah Mower, examines the role of stylists in fashion - from overseeing a magazine's photo shoot to organizing a designer's runway show.

It spotlights 16 stylists, including Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld and Vogue creative director Grace Coddington, but omits celebrity stylists like Zoe and L'Wren Scott, who works with Nicole Kidman. Each featured stylist has their own chapter, filled with their iconic work as well as personal looks at their own lives and tastes.

This is definitely a book I will be curling up with!

Fab Read: Style A to Zoe by Rachel Zoe

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 07:20:22 -0700

When she's not working on rejuvenating the Halston brand or figuring out what Cameron's going to wear to her next red carpet event, Rachel Zoe's been hitting the books. Er, book.

Her first style guide, Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, & Everything Glamour, $17, comes out in October. Inside, Zoe aims to divulge some of her fashion insider tips on "the must-have accessories and wardrobe staples for all occasions, when to splurge and save on handbags and heels, how to decorate, entertain, and travel in style." Sounds good to me!

On Our Radar: Become a Swell Stylist

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:00:22 -0700

You know Swell, my go-to place for fresh beachy finds - I hit it up before every major vacay? Did you know they are seeking stylists for their sweet site? It's pretty cool. This month, Elise Gray is the featured stylist. What that means is Ms. Gray gets a fun little bio and photo on the site, she picks her favorite products (which she actually makes a one percent commission on), she shares inspiration boards, and she gets not 15 minutes, but months of fame. You know where I'm going with this. This could be you. Enter yourself, and Swell's panel of professional stylists, designers, and buyers will do the judging. Good luck!
