Biggest Headline of 2009: London Fashion Week's 25th Anniversary

FabSugarUK — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:00:10 +0000

One of the biggest stories in British fashion in 2009 was London celebrating 25 years as a fashion capital. The week has faced a lot of pressure in recent years as it lost some its biggest names and New York threatened to overlap with it. Fortunately, some of the biggest names in the industry, like Erin O'Connor and Naomi Campbell, came together with Sarah Brown and Boris Johnson to help rescue it. The 25th Anniversary was an exciting week that had BellaSugar UK and I running all over the capital to bring you all the gossip. Here is a quick photo round-up of some of the key moments.

Exclusive! Leigh Lezark Dishes On Her Must Have Products!

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:00:00 +0100

The Spring 2010 Twenty8Twelve Fashion show was so much fun. Not only were the clothes amazing, but I was able to speak to Alexa Chung about her beauty secrets right after she and FabSugar UK talked fashion. And as if that's not enough, we also got to see Anna Wintour in the front row! But just you wait, because it gets even better. After the show, I even snagged a few seconds with DJ Leigh Lezark where we gabbed about her beauty product must-haves. To my surprise, the beautiful brunette was even more stunning up close and personal.

Her blue eyes were piercingly bright, outlined in heavy black liner and her hair was smooth, straight and perfectly in place. Here's the lowdown on what we talked about:

What's the one beaut product you can't live without? I'm obsessed with Charles Worthington Dream Hair Shine Finishing Spray . I love what it does to my hair.
What's your best kept beauty secret? I guess getting plenty of sleep and drinking lots and lots of water to stay hydrated.
What's your favourite beauty brand? Chanel. Definitely Chanel.

I love a girl that mixes high street with designer! What do you think of Leigh's beauty picks?

Exclusive! A Few Fab Words with Alexa Chung

FabSugarUK — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:00:26 +0100

Last week, BellaSugar UK and I managed to catch up with style icon Alexa Chung at the Spring 2010 Twenty8Twelve show. Yesterday, her beauty secrets were revealed and now here is her quick chat with me about her favourite shows, her plans for the week and her Mulberry bag.

When we met she was wearing a The Smiths t-shirt and a silver jacquard mini skirt showing off her enviable pins. She sat in the front row next to Anna Wintour spurring rumours of a possible Vogue US appearance for the MTV presenter. Despite living in New York, she came to London for fashion week and attended many shows including Luella, Charles Anastase and Burberry Prorsum.

To hear about my chat with Alexa, just read more.

Did you enjoy the show?
I thought it was great. It was really nice. I liked the green jumpsuit and I liked the end look a lot. My favourite bit was the t-shirt that was fashioned in to a sort of swimsuit.
What has been your favourite show this week?
A toss up between Luella and Charles. I mean Charles Anastase, everyone thinks I'm saying Giles!
Are you going to Burberry tomorrow?
Yeah I’m DJing at the party.
Earlier in the week Mulberry unveiled their Spring collection which includes a bag named after you! Are you excited?
Yeah! It’s good isn’t it? I’ve got two!
