L.A. Fashion Week steps out - but then takes a couple of steps back as some big name regulars bow out of this year's event. L.A. Fashion Week has grown over the years with the participation of bigger and more legitimate designers. But this year, Sue Wong, Kevan Hall and Ed Hardy decided to take a pass. They will not be showing their Fall 2008 collections at Culver City's Smashbox photo studios in the days ahead.
Kicking off LA Fashion Week was the celebrity-favoured brand Whitley Kros. This collection is geared toward fashion-forward femmes. The line is co-designed by former actress Marissa Ribisi and Sophia Coloma, former partner in the influential L.A. boutique Satine.
The designers showed, for their second season under the Smashbox tents. Their specialty is luxe casual wear of silk and cashmere, with a slouchy fit.
The designers came up with the idea for the label two years ago.
Sophia Coloma, designer, said, "We created this character ' Whitley Kros ' which is the brand and she is a girl who travels the world and she basically is writing poetry of taking photographs. The collection is always her suitcase from the place that she went and what she was listening to and the music and the movies."

What would we be without the top Australian men’s apparel companies and Australian fashion designers? It seems like just yesterday that our region was recognized for importing global fashion trends and barely managing to create its own unique looks. But, owing to the advent of several fantastic home-grown brands over the last two decades, that has all changed.
