"It's Not the Clothes You Wear, But How You Wear Them": True Whit Readers Dress the Part by Christina Ammermann

Although it’s hard to identify why some reality stars are actually famous, Whitney Port doesn’t fit that description. The twenty-something blonde is no stranger to the fashion scene.

First seen as Lauren Conrad’s sidekick for a Teen Vogue internship on The Hills, she quickly moved up the ranks and made it clear to gurus like Diane Von Furstenberg and Kelly Cutrone that she had an intense passion, not to mention undeniable talent for designing.

After recognizing some success, Whitney launched an impressive clothing line in 2009, which she calls Whitney Eve. The starlet already had quite the following after her reality television life so when she wrote her book, True Whit, it was no surprise that her fans fell in love with that too.

Port wrapped up a lengthy book signing tour across America at the Mall of America last weekend. The event drew exactly the crowd you’d expect; from young teens who’d give their left arm to be like Whitney, to ladies her age who have followed her since her first appearance on MTV.

Whitney Port’s clothing line is flirty and feminine and can be described as casual and easy-to-wear. She designs the pieces to fall easily on the body and fit a variety of shapes seemingly effortlessly.

Her fans showed up to her book signing Saturday wearing pieces that looked like they could be straight out of her collection. It was actually easy to pick Whitney’s influence out on most of the people standing in line to meet her.

The loose flowing hair, simplistic patterns, and comfortable fabrics are all things Whitney would see when she looks in the mirror.

Whitney’s followers were dressed in simplistic patterns, with a casual air about them. The girl-next-door vibe is the perfect category to place most of them. This makes sense, since Whitney herself can easily be described as such.

Her book, True Whit, has become a go-to guide for all things fashion, a subject Whitney’s clearly got some rapport in. It extends beyond that, discussing how to rearrange your closet, to makeup, cooking, and even some dating advice!

Her line is now in its fourth season and undoubtedly showcases her talent and creativity to a perfect science.

Interested in her pieces or want to find out more?? Visit her site (http://whitneyport.celebuzz.com/) or look for her online and in high-end boutiques.

It’s impossible to not love this sweethearted girl, but it’s even harder to not pay attention to someone who’s paved their own path in a world where the odds of doing that are too slim to see. Clearly she has quite the following, and there’s obviously reason for that. Check her out!!
