Best of 2008: Designers Branch Out

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

If you think you were busy this year, wait until you see how many designers expanded their businesses in 2008. Hint: It took me a crazy long time to round them all up. Majors like Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang, and Stella McCartney added more to their plates, as did smaller brands such as Members Only and Paige Denim. From jewelry and shoes to entire contemporary lines, these companies did what they could to boom their business.

Agent Provocateur dives into swimwear.
Alexander Wang adds shoes to his diffusion line.
Proenza Schouler expands its world to include handbags and footwear.
Handbag designer Devi Kroell designs clothes.
Banana Republic introduces its own line of sunglasses.

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Ahoy, mate! Agent Provocateur has enlisted Helena Christensen to star in their sexy, pirate-inspired Winter campaign. While Kate Moss's latest ads were racy, their collaboration with Christensen pushes the envelope even further.

Shot by by Tim Bret Day, the ad features Christensen in an array of lacy corsets and lingerie. In addition, the model also stars in Agent Provocateur's steamy video campaign as the sultry "Pirate Queen." In the short film, Christensen is said to seduce and rob the captain of the ship — pique your interest?

FabSugarUK — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:00:21 -0800

Nearly all of the papers this weekend featured this racy new lingerie ad for Agent Provocateur starring the gorgeous Helena Christensen. The 39-year-old model appears in a string of pirate themed adverts also featuring Alice Dellal.

How To: Daisy Lowe's Agent Provocateur Hair

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

You may be forgiven for focusing your attentions elsewhere when Daisy Lowe and the Agent Provacteur models hit the mirrored runway at the launch of the brand's new eau de parfum, Diamond Dust. However, true to form, my eyes were on the gorgeous hair as the girls sported ultra feminine curls designed to compliment all the womanly curves on show.

Hair maestro and best mate of Kate Moss, James Brown was the man behind the look, referencing the Russ Meyer films of the '70s to create big sexy curls. He says, "Think Jerry Hall in the seventies, when her hair was big, big, big."

Alice Dellal for Mango

FabSugarUK — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:00:38 -0700

Alice Dellal is lining up a busy year for herself. She has already been announced as the new face of Agent Provocateur following a dispute between Agent Provocateur and Lily Allen, and today it was revealed that she would be the star of Mango's denim line.

She is the daughter of Brazilian model Andrea Dellal and BFF with Lizzie Jagger and is quickly becoming famous for her quirky, rock style and edgy haircut.

However, she has not won over all the press. The Guardian featured her in The Measure this weekend stating, "Alice Dellal Aka the new face of Agent Provocateur. Another totally random punk-rock party girl with a strange haircut - just what the world needs." Ah well, you win some you lose some!

Behind the Seams: Kate Moss' White Wedding With Agent Provocateur

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:00:22 -0700

How very Kate Moss of Kate Moss to wear all black at her white wedding. Don't panic — she didn't run off and marry boyfriend Jamie Hince.

To celebrate the launch of Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur Bridal — because you know there's always a celebration — Kate and her posse partied the evening away at Milk Studios in NYC. Fabulous guests in attendance included Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lake Bell, and Byrdie Bell (no relation). Several neon signs, including one behind the bar that screamed "Let Them Eat Kate," made it very clear who the party was in honor of . . . the bride in black, of course!

Fab Ad: Kate Moss For Agent Provocateur Bridal: Agent Provocateur's new bridal ads featuring Kate Moss are nothing short of sheer horror. The picturesque fantasy and horror-themed photoshoot depicts Moss in a surreal world of bleeding heads, skulls, and crossbones. I get the whole anti-bride theme, but isn't romance what she's supposed to be selling?

Agent Provocateur's new bridal ads featuring Kate Moss are nothing short of sheer horror. The picturesque fantasy and horror-themed photoshoot depicts Moss in a surreal world of bleeding heads, skulls, and crossbones. I get the whole anti-bride theme, but isn't romance what she's supposed to be selling? I was hoping to see a more amorous side of Kate but I can't deny that she still looks Fab despite the blood and gore. Is this what you expected to see from Kate?
