On Our Radar: Lily Allen's Clothing Hits Racks

FabSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 04:02:22 -0700

We mentioned a while back that singer Lily Allen was starting her own clothing line like many other recent celebs. Well, that day has come! Lily Loves hit New Look's Oxford Street location in London. Though the lines weren't as long as they were for Kate Moss' Topshop collection, Lily still managed to please some London fashionistas with her collection of six dresses, footwear and accessories.

Though the collection isn't sold online, you can check for store locations here. (Sorry US style mavens, there are no stores in America that carry Lily's collection). You can, however, enter to win one of Lily's ten graffiti-print dresses.

On Our Radar: New York Look Shuts Down Operation For Now

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:00:08 -0800

Yet another change has been made to New York Fashion Week. One of our fashion bibles, New York Look, has announced that it will not publish a Spring issue this year. That means no special Fashion Week coverage in New York, Paris, or Milan. Instead, coverage will appear in the regularly syndicated Fall fashion issue of its parent publication, New York magazine. Whether or not New York Look will produce a Fall issue is still unknown. A spokeswoman for New York magazine states it "will revisit the publishing of the stand-alone Look in the Fall of 2009.” Sigh, another one bites the dust.

Fab Ad: Derek Lam, Spring '10

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:00:08 -0800

Derek Lam likes to keep his friends close and his models closer. After seeing Ginta Lapina on his arm at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards last week, we found the model posing in Lam's new Spring campaign. "We went back to the beach, but it’s a dreamy world of cream-colored sand, highlighted by pops of color from vibrant clothing and accessories," said Creative Director Doug Lloyd.

The ad, shot by Solve Sundsbo at Pier 59 Studio in New York, showcases Ginta looking quirky cute in Lam's polka-dot confections. I love the punchy accessories, and Ginta's updo and red lips are a fun contrast to the beachy backdrop. Side note, what's up with the luring ominous shadow?

The Look For Less: Kenneth Cole New York Paperbag Skirt

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:00:22 -0800

I'm all for paperbags. Not all styles out there are flattering, but when they are, they can be totally enticing. During my search, I stumbled upon this Kenneth Cole New York Fold Down Waist Skirt ($60, originally $80). I thought, this is perfect for a job interview or an afterwork happy hour. The price isn't too bad, but I have a better option up my sleeve.

Ladies, you're looking at one of the most affordable and stylish paperbag skirts out there. This New York & Co. Woven Paper Bag Skirt was cheap to begin with but is now on sale for $18. I know, so cool. I love how it hugs the hips and gets subtly slimmer at the bottom. For a casual approach, I would pair it with a fitted t-shirt and slick booties. It also comes in black for those who seek sexy.

Fab Read: New York Look Book, A Gallery of Street Fashion

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

If you want to feel as though you're walking up and down the streets of New York City, invest in New York Look Book: A Gallery of Street Fashion by Amy Larocca ($25). You'll see over 200 unique looks without actually having to travel, or walk. However, if you want to take advantage of the book's recommended boutiques, then you'll obviously have to go there . . . which won't be so bad considering it's the most fashionable apple in the country!

Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters
Boots: Delia's
Handbag: Maxx New York
Scarf: American Eagle Outfitters

FABTV: Phoenix, "Lisztomania" (SF Brat Pack Mash Up)

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:23:22 -0800

I feel a smile coming on . . . this brand spanking new Phoenix video was filmed in my hometown, San Francisco, over the past couple Sundays. It's fresher than fresh. The kids are local talent, and one of my friends is even one of the danceaholics in it - hi Trish! (She's the vibrant redhead with the cool printed tee). It's so spirited. The dance moves may look familiar - an ode to one of the best scenes in The Breakfast Club. And the shots of neon garb hone in on the awesome '80s vibe. Smile on.
