Fab Model of the Week: Daul Kim (1989-2009)


Fab readers we know that it has been a while since we have posted a fab model of the week and we hate to post under these unfortunate circumstances but we feel that the fab model of the week post should be dedicated to Daul Kim. We are sure that by now you all have heard the tragic news of her apparent suicide but we want to take this time to celebrate her work in the fashion industry.


Daul Kim, born May 31, 1989 in Seoul, South Korea began modeling in 2007. She had appeared on the covers of Vogue Korea, Harper's Bazaar (Korea) and has been features in spreads include Vogue, i-D and V magazine. She has also walked for top fashion houses including Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, and Chanel. Daul was recently named Karl Lagerfeld's new "muse".

Daul Kim accomplished things that most girls can only dream of in her short career in modeling and had wanted to venture into other creative outlets including painting and film. While her career was short she will live on through beautiful pictures she took and the people that knew her best. Check out some video footage that we found of her below and some of our fave photos

The Highs and The Lows: Gucci vs Steve Madden

Fab readers we must admit that we are not huge fans of Gucci shoes. They just don't move us, well that is until we stumbled upon the Gucci Kills Platform Peeptoe Booties. The heels on these booties are mind blowing (we see were the came up with the name from lol). The peeptoe design features a double platform and are definitely a show stopper. While we can think of one hundred adjectives we can use to describe the boots the one word we cant use is cheap. These boots are going to run you $990, so while we love them, we don't love them THAT much.
Never fear fashionista's that are ballin' on a budget Steve Madden was "inspired" by the Gucci Kills boots also. Allow us to introduce the Belina Platform Bootie. It features a 5.75" heel and a similar design to the Gucci Kills Bootie for a fraction of the price. The Belina is only going to cost you $120 and are offering free shipping.

Fab Trend: Over the Knee Boots



Fab readers if you want a quick way to update any outfit for Fall we recommend a pair of over the knee boots. This look has been seen on some of your fave celebs on and off the red carpet, with Ciara being a huge fan of the look amongst others. While this trend has been around for the past few seasons it seems as though over the knee boots have gained a resurgence and are available at every price point for the Fall. That means that you don't have to break the bank to rock one of the hottest trends this season (we found pairs for less than $50, now that's recession proof). Check out a few of our faves that we found for under $150 (btw we will be purchasing the pair from Newport News).
