Whether they admit it or not, everyone loves sneaking a peek at something they're not supposed to see.
Fashion historian Laird Borrelli's new book Fashion Illustration by Fashion Designers ($27) facilitates just that, by giving us a look at designer's sketches that aren't meant for public consumption.
The newly released book features 250 original sketches from 50 of the world's top designers, including Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Phillip Lim, Rodarte, Christopher Kane, and Giambattista Valli. I don't know ...
The usually stoic Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld let loose (and even cracked a slight smile) in Madison Square Park on Wednesday while he took on his other occupation: photographer.
His current muse, gazelle-like model Raquel Zimmerman, posed and made silly faces while the designer snapped away for what I'm assuming is the next Fendi ad campaign. Of course, he didn't leave home without his fingerless leather gloves, dark shades, and square-toe boots. I'm digging the tweed trench coat ...
This season's
fashion trends are all about bolder, brighter colors contrasted with neutrals. From hot pink pumps to funky patterned get-ups, unique styles are an understatement. So get inspired and check out the
hottest designer labels and what they're promoting this
Spring and Summer.

Kudos to Claudia Schiffer for still going strong in her super-modeling career despite competition with her younger counterparts, like Gisele. Well, this frock she's sporting doesn't quite mesh with the beach setting, but ...
The house of Chanel has gone back to its roots. The carousel-ignited runway was awash with varicolored tweeds, black, denim, chains, and knits â€" quintessential Chanel. And there were all shades and treatments of Karl's favorite color: black tweed, black leather, black knits, black stockings, black jeweled berets. But, Karl never lets black bore.
To shake things up â€" and to keep catering to the youthquake of Hollywood, including show attendees, the Olsens â€" minis were every which ...
Even though Louis Vuitton is featuring supermodels in their Spring ad campaign, it looks like Chanel is having its own supermodel revival. Kate Moss chose to go Chanel-clad for her glam rock-themed 34th birthday party earlier this week, while Claudia Schiffer wears the same starry outfit in the fashion house's Spring ad campaign. Kate rocks the outfit in real life, while Claudia flaunts it for Karl Lagerfeld's lensed fantasy â€" which do you prefer?

This morning one of the Pop girls declared: "I can't believe it's December." It always seems to creep up on you â€" the end of the year, that is. Alas, time flies when you're having fun! And fashion is just that. But it is time to decide which designer gets the Fab crown for Most Fab Designer of 2007. Last year, Phillip Lim won, and he has made great strides this year â€" maybe ...
When Karl Lagerfeld photographed the ad campaign for the champagne Dom Perignon Oenotheque, he was thinking of a young, handsome old-moneyed couple, for whom everything is perfect. They're just a little bored, and the husband looks at his wife and gets the idea that she could be all women in one. The champagne helps him imagine these fantasies, which are played out through the all the pictures: Claudia Schiffer as French maid, Claudia Schiffer as Marie Antoinette, ...
I’m a little torn about this kaledioscopic Fendi Multicolor Convertible “To You” Bag. Yes, it’s a bizarre purse that basically only Bozo would be caught carrying. Still, I kind of like its playful spirit. Just looking at the colorful leather makes me happy, though the patchwork style is a bit too “Laugh In.” Karl Lagerfeld was obviously having some fun creating this handbag and it’s nice to see him step away from his stark black aesthetic. Now design something ...
I would like to wish you a Fabby Halloween...and my Sugar sisters would like to wish you a Happy Halloween! Quite a few of us dressed up for the office today so I thought it would be fun to share our costumes. You can visit Giggle to guess who each monster drawing is and take a look at the gallery below and guess who's who in the flesh. Also be sure to read all about PartySugar's Halloween bash. ...
With all the versions of Top Model these days, it can be difficult to remember a time when real top models ruled the world. Fortunately, Forbes has compiled a list of the world’s top earning models.
At number one, it’s no surprise to see Gisele Bundchen top the list. She has earned an estimated $33 million, and is currently the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s latest fragrance.
#2: Kate Moss, $9 million
#3: Heidi Klum, $8 ...
The Chanel couture show may have taken place amidst rainy weather, the front row attendees may have ruined their shoes in the mud, but the clothes were anything but downtrodden. In fact, the bad weather made the stunning designs stand out even more.
The show opened with variations on the classic Chanel suit, with detailing from sequins to leather to feathers, and closed with the bride covered head to toe in a fantastic feathered dress. Karl ...
Honestly, who didn’t see this one coming. During award season, Rinko Kikuchi stunned one red carpet event after another in Chanel gowns. Karl Lagerfeld was smitten with the actress after photographing her for Vogue Nippon, and selected her to star in Chanel’s Cruise accessories campaign. Kikuchi is known most recently for her Oscar nominated role in Babel.

The Chanel Line has taken off and boy do I wish I were in flight. Karl presented a youthful Resort collection of colorful Chanel duds to the top of female Hollywood society and it looks like there is plenty to go around.
A mix of satin, stripes, sequins, tweed and denim gave way to a sometimes utilitarian sometimes completely feminine collection. I love it when Karl uses color and his reds, blues and purples were fun and ...
The Red Army Faction considered kidnapped designer Karl Lagerfeld during the 1970’s. The Red Army Faction (RAF) is described as “one of post war West Germany’s most active and prominent left wing groups”. RAF targeted Lagerfeld due to his family’s wealth and prominent fashion industry standing.
During the 1970’s, Lagerfeld was associating with Anna Piaggi, and designing for Pierre Balmain and Jean Patou. It wasn’t until 1982 that Karl moved to Chanel. RAF is ...
