Freaky or Fabulous? Tattered-Up Agyness Deyn

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

I'd like to know what cat Agyness Deyn ran into before heading to the Henry Holland and Wrigley's Extra "Get Extra Close" party. Seriously though, I know the model likes the disheveled look but this is pretty freaky. The funny thing is, I don't have a problem with the tattered jeans. In fact, I think they can be ultra sexy and they remind me of the Maison Martin Margiela outfit Gisele Bundchen wore at a photo shoot. I more so have a problem with everything else around it. If she had worn a more fitted top and some killer heels, I would have been on team fabulous. So, freaky or fabulous?

10 Reasons to Love Ralph Lauren Spring '10

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:30:22 -0700

If anyone can lift American spirits, it's Ralph Lauren. On the last (rainy) day of NYFW, his Depression era-inspired collection did, in fact, leave us on a positive note. Blues in all hues, denim, country florals, navy pinstripes, white cotton, and a couple drop-dead gowns were intensely pretty. And those glittering silver shoes - so fresh against tattered railroad denim. In his notes Lauren said, "I am inspired by the character of the workers, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women of the prairies living authentically through challenging times." History repeats itself; fashion to the rescue.

Diane's Inglourious Style

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Marchesa, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Versace Atelier, Kimchi Blue, Balmain . . . Diane Kruger. Need I say more? Unfortunately Diane's promotional tour for Inglourious Basterds is over - but now we can admire her disheveled WWII glamour in the actual movie. You know I was following her, eying her every fashion move. And what a delight it was. Diane is self-styled, lest we not forget she is close friends with Karl, so it's no surprise she always looked unique and polished. She's one of the few who can make tattered jeans chic and a fedora look new again. From a sculptured scarlet Marchesa dress to prickly Versace Atelier, Diane wooed us all over again. You ready?

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Rodarte

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 05:00:22 -0800

If someone were to costume design a sci-fi ballerina flick, the result might be something like Rodarte's Fall 2008 collection. Tattered loosely-knit fishnets, super studded gloves and Louboutin heels, and Degas-inspired tutus: they were all there.

The sisters Mulleavy have come a long way in a few seasons, and this time around presented a spectacle of ghostly alien girls decked out in everything from a highlighter-green chiffon dress to a red and black yarn skirt. As far as being wearable or affordable, I'm not sure either applies to the collection, but it is definitely beautiful and whimsical - the two things Rodarte does best.

Stay tuned for my interview with one of the designer sisters!

Fab Flash: Victoria Beckham Tops Worst-Dressed List in 2007

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 12:30:22 -0800

Since 1960, Mr. Blackwell has established himself as a celebrity-style critic by annually listing off his top ten worst-dressed women.

Today, he released his 48th Annual Worst-Dressed Women List, with the note: "For those of you who were expecting to see Britney's name adorn the 2007 list, I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her."

And so, without further ado, Mr. Blackwell's top three - do you agree?

1. Victoria Beckham: "Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."

2. Amy Winehouse: "Exploding beehives above . . . tacky polka-dots below . . . she's part '50s car-hop horror."

3. Mary-Kate Olsen: "YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary-Kate's look is hard to explain. . . . she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!"

To see the rest of his picks, including who he calls "a global fashion curse," just read more

4. Fergie: "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"

5. Kelly Clarkson: "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest. . . but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'Pro-Active' - but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!"

6. Eva Green: "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!"

7. Avril Lavigne: "Gothic makeup courtesy the mad spatula-Fashions provided by. . . .The house of Dracula!"

8. Jessica Simpson: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!"

9. Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low."

10. Alison Arngrim: "Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940s fashion editor for the Farmer's Almanac."
