Trend Alert: Urban Safari

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Just because a look is casual that doesn't mean it isn't party apropos. Sophia Bush graced the red carpet for the OP campaign launch party in a getup fit for an urban safari. And let's take a moment to admire her fit stems - nice. It's refreshing to see something utilitarian and cool, versus dolled up and decked. Because of her basics - army-green shorts, white tank, brown blazer - the outfit required some glam, which she delivered via sexy crisscross Miu Miu sandals, a cascading gold necklace, and dainty clutch. The right mix of casual and lady will lead you to your very own faboo urban safari. Safe travels!

It's funny that I love the urban safari trend so much - not only am I terrified at the thought of being around wild animals, I'm the last person to rough it in the woods. Good news! In my smokin' safari world, you'll find no beasts or bugs (sorry Pet!); only the coolest khaki pieces, a pop of yellow, and funky jewels. Won't you join me? Jack and Lazaro, you're invited, too!

On Our Radar: Old Navy Gets a Makeover

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 02:00:11 -0800

Looks like Todd Oldham, the new Creative Director of Old Navy, has been a busy, busy bee! He's looking to change Old Navy from a family brand to a go-to place for the twenty-something crowd.

Turning a new leaf means a new logo, as well as collections that change more frequently on a monthly basis, like what Zara and H&M do. The first collection, for February, goes for an urban safari look, so expect African-inspired dresses, safari suiting, lace-adorned tank tops, khakis, city shorts, and plenty of red and prints.

Then in March, the focus turns to all brights and whites inspired by Palm Beach. April brings a surf appeal, May, a tropical, Hawaiian point of view, and for June, it's all about glitz and glamour, just in time for the MTV Music Awards.

Officially, Oldham's influence isn't supposed to be noticed until around June, but I, for one, am noticing it already.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Tibi

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:00:33 -0700

Tibi jolted me awake in the AM with a sassy safari-inspired collection fit for both city and suburban girls.

The overall silhouette was slim, which is always figure flattering, and prints called "congo" and "kalahari" supplied the prefect amount of eye candy. A large grass green and min green gingham print, shown (hi Flavia!), was sweet and broke up the surefire safari fits. Some peasant tops, tattooed white leather numbers and a wild zebra prints prevented the collection from being too girlie. It was also refreshing to see some denim - it's been a while. Alas, these weren't girls, these were Tibi woman - ready for the urban jungle!

Be sure to check out all my New York Fashion Week coverage!

Fab Ad: Swatch Spring/Summer '08

FabSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:00:22 -0700

I can never resist a Beatles tribute and that's why this Spring/Summer '08 Swatch ad campaign stood out to me when I was reading the digital version of V magazine. The girlie minidresses and shorts the models are sporting paint quite the fashionable picture. I'll admit that I've never thought of Swatch watches as cool, but these ads are helping to change my view. What is especially smart about these ads is that each watch style is complemented with a story. And in advertising, it's all about building that emotional connection with your customer. If you're an earthy kind of girl, chances are urban safari scene will appeal to you. If glitz and glamour is your thing, the dancers in poufy gowns will be right up your alley, or shall I say, gated community. Do these ads spark your interest?

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:00:22 -0700

After a mere peek at Vera Wang's latest collection for Kohl's, I'm convinced you'll find everything you need for Spring among her offerings. You know I'm a sucker for Target's GO International lines, but this collaboration may take the cake. From the styling to the prints to the silhouettes, Vera's execution is flawless. The looks range from urban safari chick to ethnic cool, from über sophisticated to hopeless romantic. Though the pieces won't hit the real racks until April, you can purchase them online now! Oh, and don't forget to read the designer's mini style tips under each outfit.

On Our Radar: Old Navy Turns Over New Leaf

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Just like I hinted, Old Navy is getting a fresh, youthful makeover this Spring. Already in stores are safari-themed shirt dresses, jackets, and jumpsuits in rich, earthy tones with animal print mixed in - all still at friendly Old Navy prices.

Then, in March, breezy Palm Beach-inspired dresses in bold green prints, lots of white, and even a little seersucker suiting. If this is an attempt to catch up with the Zaras and the H&Ms of the world, I say bring it on, Old Navy!
