Girls on Film: Daria Werbowy, Vogue Nippon, Nov. '09

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

I will never tire of Daria Werbowy's amazingness. For Vogue Nippon's November issue, the Ukrainian-Canadian model strutted her stuff in an editorial dubbed "Girl of the Golden Field." Now this is how Fall dressing should be: cozy sweaters, sherpa-lined leather jackets, ponchos, boots, and fur coats. Daria continues to astonish me with her scintillating bod - boobage alert! - and piercing blue eyes. Of course, her hair is tousled to perfection – Bella, how can I get this look? Furthermore, the prairie backdrop is beyond beautiful. Keep clicking for more Daria action . . .

Today's Fashion World Might Have Passed Up Cindy

TresSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:00:00 -0700

Standards of beauty might change with time, but I think most of us can agree that Cindy Crawford is a gorgeous woman. Even so, the classic late-'80s/early-'90s supermodel thinks that the 2009 fashion industry would have passed her up. Cindy told German magazine Bunte that her "big breasts, normal thighs, and toned upper arms" are not so desired anymore. She said: "I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy."

Cindy's probably onto something, considering even extremely thin models are being photoshopped to look impossibly skinny. Of course, Cindy isn't losing any sleep over any of this. She says now that she is in her 40s, she knows her "strengths beyond being pretty."

While there has been a recent push to use more normal looking women in fashion magazines, I don't think Cindy's goddess-like beauty would qualify her as average. Still, her healthier look could be a welcome change from the sickly figures we often see walking down the runway. Do you think models like Cindy could make a comeback in the near future?

Models Strip Against Climate Change - Love It or Leave It?

TresSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:00:00 -0700

A few days ago, an International Day of Climate Action was put on by the global campaign 350.org. Figuring the public is more likely to pay attention to practically naked models than Al Gore (naked or not), the group put together a video of smiling models taking off their clothes because global warming makes them too hot. I'm already skeptical of naked activism, but I think this video is trying to appeal to people who like barely-clothed models. I think they might want to rethink their angle - if global warming causes beautiful people to strip, won't some people think that's a good thing?

Fab Face: Constance Jablonski

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was good to be Constance Jablonski during the Spring '10 shows. The French stunner booked more shows - 72! - than any other model this season. Trailing behind her were Kasia Struss at 61 and Hanne Gaby Odiele at 56. So if Constance walked at least twice in each show, then that means she showed off about 144 looks. Whoa.

The 19-year-old is clearly a rising star; she has a tall, svelte bod, gorgeous blue eyes, just-right lips, and a perfect jaw. In the three years she's been in the industry, she's worked for Givenchy, Teen Vogue, Topshop, Donna Karan, La Perla, Moschino, Harper's Bazaar . . . the list goes on and on. Constance is a constant, so keep your eyes peeled.

Get to know Constance better.

Do You Prefer Polished Erin or Grungy Erin?

If you haven't checked out JCrew.com in a while, don't be surprised to see Erin Wasson gracing the front page. I stopped dead in my clicks when I spied the model – who's known for her grungy, tomboy aesthetic – donning the retailer's sleek array of printed tops, tweed blazers, jeweled bib necklaces, and peep-toe sandals. Don't get me wrong, she's an amazing model, but the choice seems a little out of character for both Wasson and J.Crew. However, it's nice seeing her feminine side. Which Erin do you prefer: polished or grungy?

Fab Ad: Uniqlo Heat Tech, Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Behold Uniqlo's Fall ad campaign for its Heat Tech collection - made from Milk Proteins, which traps heat. You ready for it? Lily Donaldson, Coco Rocha, Erin Wasson, Sasha Pivovarova, Karlie Kloss, Sessilee Lopez, and Tao Okamoto are all stylishly bundled up with snow-capped mountains in the background. I have a feeling what they're wearing, albeit totally cute, wouldn't prevent frostbite. No matter, the shots are captivating and the models are diverse. What do you think? Is this campaign making you melt or freeze?

Which Fashion Mommy Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

I don't live in London, but thanks to the paparazzi, I know that Elle MacPherson, Stella McCartney, and Claudia Schiffer drop their kids off at the same school almost every morning. Day in and day out, these three fashionable mommies put their best boot forward. Elle always look boho with fur; Stella struts tough in leather and great outerwear; and Claudia exudes '70s chic in light hues and flared jeans. I hope I look that amazing when I drop my kids off at school in the future! Examine the three, then tell me who's most Fab.

Fab's Favorite Models - A Trip Down Fashion Lane

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Models come and go like the wind in the fashion industry. Sure, some become household names - like the Supers - but most of them do their thing, then move on. That's not to say that they're not sorely missed. I always think of my favorites: Brazilian Ana Claudia Michels, South African Georgina Grenville, Spanish Esther Cañadas, and Scottish Kristy Hume. American Bridget Hall (left) also stands out; she was so sporty, freckly, smiley, but also mastered high-fashion. Let's travel back in time and check out alluring editorials from fashion's once-popular muses.
