Whitney Port, the star of MTV reality shows The City and The Hills, is one L.A girl who’s designed a whimsical collection, and has taken a stance in the fashion industry.
Ports 1961, a label that debuted in 2006, as a spin-off of Canadian sportswear label “Ports International,” is led by Vancouver-native, Tia Cibani. Her designs beautifully illustrate women’s Ready To Wear, with romantic silhouettes and often, an ethnic twist. Last year, her Fall 2009, took on a very timely theme, with Indian inspired music and dress. This season, Tia channeled what seemed to be Asian-inspiration, indicated in both the choice of music and the sushi platters included in the gift bags.
