FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Paris Fashion Week is the creme de la creme of all fashion events. New York had its highlights; London wowed me with its revived schedule; and Milan is always beautiful, but Paris? Undeniably thrilling. Here's a roundup of my favorite looks, ranging from the spooky, kooky looks of Gareth Pugh to breathtaking frocks from Yves Saint Laurent. Peep McQueen's ethereal alien-like ensemble here. Keep on to see magical delights from Hermes, Valentino, Vivienne Westwood, Lanvin, and more.

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

FabSugarUK — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:00:12 -0700

Victoria Beckham was spotted arriving at LAX yesterday with her son Romeo. She wore her typical inflight style of tight fitting jeans and sky high heels (surely she gets changed on the plane in to something more comfortable?) showing off her favourite oversized Hermes Birkin. This isn't the first time we've seen Victoria in these ankle zip Stella McCartney jeans, she was spotted wearing them at another airport back in May. This time she wore them with a grey Kain t-shirt, a chunky mans watch and an outlandish gold and white hat.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Goes Antianimal, Hermes Goes Pro

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has the pick of the litter when it comes to wearing sumptuous designer creations but her selection might be a little more limited now that she's vowed to be more animal friendly. "I do not wear, buy, or own fur or animal skin other than leather or skin of animals raised for feeding purposes. I am not a vegetarian and I don't find it illogical to wear skins of animals whose meat is also eaten." said Bruni-Sarkozy in a recent letter to PETA. Will Carla inspire others to do the same?

Meanwhile, Hermes has just announced it will start breeding its own crocodiles to keep up with the high demand for its iconic handbags. Despite the recession, Hermes produces 3,000 crocodile bags a year, which is not enough for the crazy waiting list - often several years long - of customers. "We cannot face demand. We have massive overdemand. The world is not full of crocodiles." said Hermes chief executive, Patrick Thomas.

Certainly two different views on using animals for fashion. Are you on team Carla or team Hermes?

Chloë Sevigny Dreams of Collaborating With Hermès and NaNa

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:00:08 -0700

UPDATE: Chloë has teamed up with Opening Ceremony to create a footwear collection with Bass Weejuns, a brand she used to sport back in the day.

Chloë Sevigny has a serious shoe addiction. "I have hundreds of pairs. I keep them in a stairwell in clear plastic boxes, labeled," she dished in a recent interview. Aside from her Opening Ceremony footwear collection, the actress is open to more collaborations. What would her dream footwear collaboration be? "Hermès, maybe?" she said jokingly, then followed up with: "Actually, NaNa would be a great collaboration!" Currently, Chloë's favorite shoes are a pair of NaNa cowboy boots she purchased from a flea market in Austin, TX, and she also owns a pair of combat boots from the label. If your feet are not familiar with NaNa, it's never too late to get them acquainted. Let's hope Chloë's dream comes true . . .

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Mon, 11 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Victoria Beckham dresses up no matter where she goes and that includes airports. She arrived in Milan looking posh in a LBD from her Fall namesake collection, Christian Louboutin suede boots, and her signature Hermes Birkin. We've seen Victoria in all-black before, but what makes her unique this time is the combination of the black sequined headband and studded belt. A bit rock 'n roll, a bit dainty equals a whole lot of sass.

Hermès Pixelated Bangle: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 04:02:02 -0700

This one goes out to all those Hermès fans who covet Lily van der Woodsen's Birkin bag collection on Gossip Girl and have already downloaded the template for a very low-budget Kelly.

The Hermès pixelated Recherche wide bangle ($567) must have been imagined with artsy photography and design lovers in mind. The pixelated "H" design on the enamel inset offers a modern take on the famous Hermès lettering. Does it pull off effortlessly chic like Lily, or does the pixelation overpower the classic Hermès tradition?

Look of the Day: Beastly Fierce

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Miz_ayet isn't a rock star, but she sure looks beastly fierce. Check her out wearing a Kate Moss and Erin Wasson-inspired ensemble. Her leopard blazer and matching heels are surely a nod to her role models - no pun intended - and those vintage adornments are dope. If you can't make it, fake it!

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Moschino
Top: Forever21
Skirt: Forever 21
Heels: Christian Louboutin
Belt: Hermes
Sunglasses: Christian Dior
Necklaces: Alex & Chloe and Chanel

Congrats to miz_ayet!
