That button-down ivory Whitley Read more
Whitley Kros will always have a special place in Fab's heart. It was such a pleasure meeting the designers, Marisa Ribisi and Sophia Coloma, at LA Fashion Week Spring '09. The girls have just released their Holiday collection and it's everything we expected from them: girlie, with fashion-forward touches, but never over the top. Let's examine.

You know their names, but do you know their faces? Take my quiz to find out. Question 1 of 7Is this Dolce or Gabbana? Domenico Dolce Stefano Gabbana Read more
Whitley's Kros bohemian babe continues her journey through another LA Fashion Week. This time, striped tunics, easy-wear silk separates, animal prints, and the necessary Spring jumpsuit are falling out of her suitcase. Colors range from ivory to sherbet hues and vivid brights. A couple full-on exotic prints made their way onto loose blouses and skirts. Sheer also made a sexy cameo. The traveling Read more
When I first met Whitley Kros designers Marissa Ribisi and Sophia Banks backstage at their fashion show at LA Fashion Week, they were excited to take their business to the web. One of their goals was to be huge online. After much anticipation, the duo can achieve their dream, because WhitleyKros.com has officially claimed its space on the Internet. As expected, it's an intriguing site filled with Read more
Randomly, Little Red Riding Hood made an appearance on the catwalks of LA Fashion Week. Except, the brave little girl came in the form of tall, beanpole models showing off a Fall 2008 trend: hoods. Striped cardigans had hoods at the Whitley Kros show (left); coats at the Alexis Lamontagna collection came hooded (right); and one of Octavio Carlin's silk dresses even incorporated the style.

It was all checkerboard chicks at Whitley Kros' Fall '08 show! This time around, Marissa Ribisi (Giovanni's twin sis, in case you forgot) and Sophia Banks whipped up a more '80s-inspired collection, but as always, they delivered the fun. Models, including America's Next Top Model cycle nine second runner up Chantal Jones, sashayed down the catwalk in oodles of plaid, large black and white Read more
