NYFW: Whitney Eve Spring 2013 by Jennifer Ngo
Whitney Port's Whitney Eve Spring 2013
by Jennifer Ngo from College WalkI love fashion week. The aura of people hustling and bustling around the city in all of their fabulousness and quirky outfits to match. As fashion week slowly comes to an end, I haven’t been able to sit down and realize that I love every moment of this craziness surrounding me. As I climbed up the stairs of a broken escalator to Lincoln Center, I was saddened that this week went by so fast and yet so slow at moments. This moment quickly vanished as I ran to Whitney Port’s show at in the Studio
room.
After watching her on the reality tv shows The Hills and The City, I’ve been obsessed with Whitney Port. Her Los Angeles roots and her sweet personality has made her so memorable and so likable by everyone (well, maybe not Olivia Palermo). After her work at Teen Vogue, Diane von Furstenburg, and People’s Revolution, she’s been able to launch her own fashion line, Whitney Eve, which made it’s first debut at Lincoln Center for her Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Being able to show in two consecutive seasons at Lincoln Center is such a great opportunity for a young designer. Every seat was filled this season, leaving me pretty crowded in the standing section but I can’t complain considering this is my first Whitney Eve show after all.

Fringe, bright colors, and fun prints were all over the runway so there’s no mistake that Whitney created this line. Her laid-back California influence definitely showed how wearable the clothes are. I could definitely see these pieces on someone, like you or me, down the street but still causing people to turn their heads. Following the last model of the final walk through was Whitney and a great cheer from the audience for the designer. It makes me smile seeing such a humble girl like Whitney live her dream at the biggest venue in New York City.
What do you think of this collection?
Note from the Editor:
This was a hard show for me to give away. I, much like Jennifer, am a huge fan of Whitney Eve. I've always liked her from her MTV shows as well. Even though she had turned me off with her PR stunt, asking for money so that she can show a second time at Lincoln Center. I was interested in seeing what she would show this season, but my "real" job got in the way. I couldn't be more thankfully for being involved with such an amazing blogging group (shout out to TBC) and that Jennifer was able to cover for me. Thank you Jennifer!

Whitney Eve by designer Whitney Port was another show that I was super excited to have gotten an invite too. I have been a long time fan of Port-- ever since she was on The Hills I wanted to be bffs with her. And then I was probably one of the very few that watched The City. I adore her and her style and was SUPER excited to see that she was showing at Mercedes-Benz Fall 2012 Fashion Week. But the real stunner to me was that I was invited to cover her show. It was another freak out in front of my computer but this time my bf knew what I was talking about since I use to make him watch The Hills and The City with me.
I wasn't surprised that Port had her models walking down the runway to Beyonce "Who Runs the World (Girls)" and M.I.A "Bad Girls." Her aesthetic was what I had expected to see from her-- very girly feminine looks. I loved her use of unique prints, light and flirty materials, and a mix of materials. Her inspiration was based off of a kaleidoscope that she found in her grandmother's closet hence the unique patterns. Some of the looks were a total hit to me like the first look of the spotted pattern peplum top and matching pants along with the third look of the cut out flirty dress with the cardigan. Unfortunately some of the looks totally missed the mark to me. The ruffles on the shoulders on some the shirt appeared to big and made the models look bulky. Also the some of the styling on the looks were over styled. The the mix of to many patterns threw my eye off, I couldn't concentrate on the article of clothing. I had really wished she took the leggings off of some of the dresses like the velvet black splattered dress. I found that dress so appealing but seeing it with the leggings made me cringe a bit. Not saying that the leggings weren't pretty but just not mixed with the heavier dress that can stand out on it's own. Also I don't know if I would have paired up a peplum top with velvet wide leg pants, I feel like tops that are peplum should stick with a slim shiloutte. Honestly, I think if you were to divide out the collection and looked at pieces singularly the collection works. There are lots of pieces that I would wear but definitely style differently to my taste. It is a collection that I think tons of woman can pick through and style the way they see fit.

Okay so there were some bumps in Whitney Eve's collection but this was Port's big first showing. I can see her growing and really coming into her own.

Steal the Look for Less: Fringe with Benefits
There is no way you can turn a page or a webpage with out seeing some type of fringe. Celebrities are now wearing the spring trend. Whitney Port was seen at "N.Y.C. Assouline book bash fêting Coca-Cola" (people.com) rocking a fringe dress with sequin embellishments.

The fun thing about fringe dresses is that they can be worn to special occasions or totally dressed down. Whatever the occasion you can look like a celebrity for less.

Take a note from Whitney and dress up your arms with bangle bracelets. Bangles give a tribal feeling to your fringe dress. Do try printed bangles that have tribal prints or colors like the Forever21 Painted Pressed Bangles (first on the right...$6.80) or the Aldo GALLUZZI bangles (last on the right...$18). To go with the tribal them do sandals that have bead work on them. If your willing to shell out some cash do the Cauzzie Aztec Beaded Sandals (bottom right....$175). These shoes are not only perfect because of the bead work but because they have a little tassel on them that really gives the whole tribal vibe to it. These small details really stand out and make a difference. If your looking for a total steal the Qupid Cairo At Akira (the middle pair...$50) are perfect to pull the whole tribal look. You want to pick beadings that stand out like Whitney did. Don't worry, if your not a high heel girl do a flat sandal that has beading work on it.
Glam the whole look together by adding a glitter bag. Do pick a bag that matches the dress or your accessories. When doing a white dress still with a silver bag unless doing a gold jewelry. Black dress....black bag.
Have fun with this look. Don't be afraid to play with accessories and even play around with some feathered accessories, like a feathered earrings and hair clips.

Did anybody watch The City last night? I totally almost cried at the end with Kelly and Whitney! My boyfriend thinks I'm totally nuts. Also, anyone else thinks that Olivia needs to get fired? I seriously believe anybody with a good eye and good work ethics can do her job with their hands tied behind their back. I say sign me up to be the fashion editor for Elle! That girl needs a SERIOUS reality check!
