Olympic Style

FabSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Go team go! My obsession with the Olympics has not diminished this week, it's grown. I knew there had to be some style to such amazing events, and I found it. Who said uniforms were blah? Not I. Maybe Ralph Lauren's Opening Ceremony ones were, but how do you feel about the American male swimmers' red, white, and sexy all over swimsuits? Click on for sportif style and the aforementioned swimsuits . . .

Fab Ad: Kenneth Cole Non-Uniform Thinking Campaign

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0800

This may look like just an everyday fashion ad, but look closer and you'll see that the model has prosthetic limbs. That's because Aimee Mullins was born without fibulae in both legs. All of Kenneth Cole's latest non-uniform thinking ads have a message that goes beyond outer beauty. They still do their job - sell shoes - but in the most nonsuperficial way possible. One ad features a gay married couple and their daughter, while another is modeled by the HIV-positive editor-in-chef of POZ Magazine. I'm more physically drawn to pretty ads, but these have a strong emotional message. What do you think?

Fab Flash: The Katherine Heigl Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 08:15:44 -0700

In order to further capitalize on her success as "Izzie" on Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl is rolling out a line of health care uniforms in conjunction with Peaches Uniforms.

The designs are aimed at bringing "a new level of style and sophistication to medical professionals who value looking good as much as they value their life's work," and four looks are supposed to reflect the personality of Izzie.

The collection will debut in late Fall of this year, and one of the pieces from the anticipated line can be seen here.

It kind of seems like the celebrity designer collaborations keep getting weirder and weirder, what do you all think?

Leighton Meester: A Fashion Metamorphosis

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

When Leighton Meester steps onto the red carpet, she's a fashion force to be reckoned with. The Gossip Girl's ensembles get more and more refined with each event. Sometimes she's super sexy, others ultra femme, and from time to time a full-on movie star in floor-grazing gowns. She's constantly switching it up, that's why she's refreshing to follow. But such was not always the case. When Leighton first hit the red carpet in 2003, her uniform of choice was jeans and fancy tops. A lot has changed since then, including her hair color. Take a trip down memory lane to see Leighton's impressive fashion metamorphosis.

On Our Radar: Vivienne and Stella Outfit the Queen's Guards

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:00:08 -0700

The Queen's guards have become quite the landmark in London. Who can miss those bright red uniforms and huge furry hats? They might look striking, but did you know that one bear has to be killed for each of their hats to be made? Tear. Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney to the rescue! Rumor has is that the two designers, in conjunction with PETA, will design cruelty-free guards uniforms for the Queen.

I wonder what lovely designs Vivienne, famous for her avant garde aesthetic, and Stella, known for using animal-free materials, will come up with. All they need is the approval from the Ministry of Defence, so let's cross our fingers.

Trend Alert: Roped In

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Shopping at Christian Louboutin is hard work but someone's gotta do it, right Nicky? While we lust over what's in her bag, let's evaluate her fresh shopping uniform. Notice how the socialite roped in her t-shirt dress with an intricately braided belt. C-ute. I love how the dark hue gives this nautical trend some sass but if you're feeling more sporty, opt for white or red rope. Oh, did I mention they're pretty affordable, too?

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince set out on a shopping excursion in London yesterday. Is that Browns I see in the background? The super stuck to her usual uniform - black blazer, Ray-Ban Wayfarers - but switched things up in a pair of pleated denim shorts. Those large pleats remind me of the pleats on Alexander Wang's Gap/CFDA khaki shorts. I smell a trend, do you?

Fab Ad: Giuseppe Zanotti Spring '09

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Deee-lish. It takes a bold gesture for a fashion ad to stop me flipping. I always love a '50s throwback to the swell days of muscle cars and poodle skirts. Would you have been a Rizzo or a Sandra Dee? In the Spring Giuseppe Zanotti ads, shot by Inez & Vinoodh, model Anja Rubki is a bit of both, and, therefore, deee-lish. I love the simplicity and candy colors. And, I can always be enticed with an ice cream sundae. The shoes, as always, are delectable. Rizzo Dee's uniform of sequin mini and tee is also a fun look to mimic when you're feeling frisky. So tell me: do you feel frisky?
