Celeb Fashion Bloggers Opine Modern Dressers
Dwell, October '08

082608fugdwelllogos2.jpgImagine our surprise to see celeb fashion bloggers - Heather and Jessica of Go Fug Yourself fame - featured in the October issue of Dwell (yes, we realize it's not even September yet but ours came early). In a story called "Dressing Up", the guest experts chime in alongside Dwell staff to assess five dressers based on how they look, function, and store the all-important wardrobe...

 
 

The top contenders:

082608_9626.jpg

Chest of drawers, AC Collection by Antonio Citterio for Maxalto, $5,169-$5,382; the Fug girls think it's bland, but not terrible.

082608bludot.jpg

Drift dresser by Blu Dot, $1,399; reminds the Fug girls of high school bleachers.

082608cratebarrel.jpg

Crate & Barrel Elan four-drawer chest, $1,499; reminds the Fug girls of keg parties on wood patios.

082608fatima.jpg

SB04 Fatima designed by Philipp Mainzer (solid wood), $8,200-$9,600; this was the Fug girls' favorite piece.

082608arctic.jpg

Arctic Low Chest by Rolf Fransson for Voice, $1,300 (black or white gloss-lacquered MDF); Fug girls see it as too Duran Duran-y.

To read all the opinionated details from the Fug girls and Dwell staff, check out the October issue.

I really like all of them. The Crate and Barrel one needs to be darker.
