On Wednesday, Whitney Eve made its fashion week debut and its designer, Whitney Port, is someone we have all seen grow in the fashion industry. This week, we had the chance to see her grow again, and I have put together a timeline of events leading up to her fall 2012 show and beyond. Also, you get a chance to see her antique kaleidoscope-inspired collection’s show in its entirety.
February 13: Whitney Port preps for the show at People's Revolution offices, completing last-minute styling changes.
February 14: Whitney begins to finalize the music playlist that the models will walk to during her show. The young designer even asks fans for suggestions to get the correct “mood and vibe.”
February 15:
Whitney invites fans backstage (via blog post) hours before her show, giving them a sneak peak behind the scenes of her set and emotions. “I have so many emotions running through my head — I am excited, nervous, proud, anxious, grateful, to name a few, and the butterflies in my stomach have not subsided in days,” she wrote.
Finally, the show began. Check it out in the video...
After the show, Port took to her blog once again, saying, “I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to my show today. Your support means so much to me and seeing all of your faces in the audience made this day that much more special.”
New York Fashion week is almost here! With so many great designers and shows, it is hard to keep it all straight as to when each designer is showing.

This fashion week promises to be a good one, with plenty of new talent and so many new trends in the making!
While we've seen techno-tribal bags, polka dot pumps, and other eye-popping, patterned accessories from seasons past, a plethora of lively graphics have captured the attention of the fashion industry once again! With an eclectic and exciting assortment of printed handbags and shoes, it's no wonder why designers have said goodbye to boring, solid-colored accessories and "hello" to energetic (and rather quirky) accent pieces for the spring 2012 season.
Many prominent designers by the likes of Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Spade are bringing this wild and playful trend back into the spotlight. But let's be honest, has it ever left? Au contraire, this bold fashion statement is continuing to take the fashion world by storm. Even celebrity tastemakers such as Rihanna, Beyonce, and Whitney Port have all been spotted sporting this trend.
So, spice up your wardrobe with a bold, graphic-printed accessory, and take a walk on the wild side. You will surely be strutting down the streets in style.
