Whitley Kros had one of the fugliest collections I’ve seen in a long time. Veronkia had some stunning pieces that had me doing double takes, but she had an equal number of misses. Nishimoto’s collection was an even balance of fab and fug, as was Julia Clancey’s. Overall, the L.A. collections are much more casual, dated, and less innovative than what we saw from New York. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to aim for casual, but there’s a fine line between casual and fug that we see crossed all the time by, say, the Olsen twins and numerous other wannabe fashionistas.

Bring back the elegance! (And leave the zebra crotched pants on the drawing board.)

Pink Panther.

(And #1…I don’t think there is any danger whatsoever of me buying any couture…I can’t even afford Wal-Mart)

Hey everyone. I gotta let you know that Whitley Kros is designed by Marissa Ribisi, a big time loud mouth Scientologist. She is the twin of Giovanni Ribisi and wife of Beck, the musician. She is very hard core as well as her entire family. I ask you all as part of our cause, to please boycott this label. I refuse to give any money to an artist good or bad, who will turn right around and hand it to the CoS.
