Starting Monday, March 17 fashion tastemakers Kristin Cavallari and Orly Shani will be breaking down today's hottest trends in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and everything in between! The Fabulist is E!'s first multi-platform experience, allowing fans to have a premiere online destination that provides 24/7 access to the pop culture trends that they will see on the show. Fabulist.com will include behind the scenes footage and online exclusives that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Fans of K.Cav have been able to watch the style evolution of the Laguna Beach co-host since her early high school days. Let's be honest: She is responsible making platform flip flops, Hollister tanks and choker necklaces a staple in every girl's closet!  Shani, on the other hand shot to fame as the breakout designer of NBC's Fashion Star. Creating new clothing concepts was always in the cards for the budding standout. Her grandfather was in the garment industry, and both her mother and grandmother were expert seamstresses. Now as the designer and curator of TUCANDWES she is able to bring her fashion knowledge to The Fabulist every week!
