“As of right now it doesn’t really look like we’re doing it anymore,” said the 25-year-old fashion designer. When asked if it could possibly move from MTV to another network, Port said, “No, at this point it’s not.”

I love the city- just not MTV’s The City… it was definitely a whole season of my life I will never get back.. might be a bit on the dramatic side but what do you expect- you know it makes your gossip way more exciting… at least everyone is far more fond of Kelly Cutrone and DVF now?!….

Plus it must be said that the true fashionista on this show was my favorite Olivia Palermo and her Blair Waldorf inspired style!.. who cares if everyone was a bit on the negative side about her office skills who needs them when you have killer outfits.

Who knows maybe The City is canceled because Olivia is getting her own show… hey, it could happen!

For those of you who like Gossip Girl you’re bound to love what’s coming next. Kelly Cutrone’s People’s Revolution has just inked a deal with Fake Empire, the executive producers of Gossip Girl, for a scripted fashion based show. Can’t wait for some more details!

Who Do You Wanna See on The Next “Dirty Little Secrets?

]]> http://fashionindie.com/dirty-little-secrets-andrew-mukamal-stefanie-skinner/feed/ 0 http://fashionindie.com/does-whitney-port-really-work-at-peoples-revolution/ http://fashionindie.com/does-whitney-port-really-work-at-peoples-revolution/#comments Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:15:28 +0000 Saynt http://fashionindie.com/?p=130930 I sent a letter to Whitney Port’s “supposed” email at People’s Revolution (whitney.port@peoplesrevolution.com) to prove to Annabelle Cheesecake that The City was not a reality show, but instead a poorly written scripted drama with cheap actors. Her response provides a surprising answer…

Surprise, surprise…

Whiteney’s earring s retail for about $85 and are from Bing Bang, which continues to be the favorite amongst celebrity tastemakers such as Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez.

You can get Roxy’s camilla and marc jacket from Shopbop.

You know we really couldn’t wait until The City to get our dose of Kelly Cutrone and the rest of the People’s Revolution crew, which is why we’re extremely excited that Kell’s launched her own Youtube Channel. It’s like Bravo, with none of the drama. Rundowns after the jump.

Episode One revealed Andrew’s $2000 Rodarte purchase (though we know that had to have come from yesterday’s killer sample sale) and Kell’s $40 Gap sweater buy. Not a great sign when the help has more money to spend, but we’ve had our fair share of rich girl interns, so we know the feeling. Also, thanks for the 420 shout out, almost forgot to light the ceremonious splif.

Episode Two revealed that Skinner makes boyfriends wait till she’s good and ready and isn’t afraid to make the boys take care of her pussy…cat, that is. (Yeah, this company is run by a 12 year old). Still heart her majorly and no one thinks you’re fat on TV.

Episode Three shows us Ava’s interviewing skills and a little info on Kell’s Spring Break fun. Cute, but why is everyone always wearing sunglasses?!?

It’s certainly going to be a drama-filled season finale for Kell on Earth. Between all the Fashion Weeks, high profile events, writing a best-selling book, and producing a short film for DKNY, the pressure really comes down on the gang at People’s Revolution. We have a few sneak peak clips:

The Big Moment

We’re totally in hearts with Stefanie Skinner, the Public Relations workaholic from Kell on Earth, Bravo’s foray into the inner workings of fashion’s fave press house, People’s Revolution.  Whether she’s vouching for Andrew’s explosive diarrhea, getting hair tips from Tandrew or  managing the wrath of Kell, Stefanie is one PR girl whose emails we’ll never put on our SPAM list.

We got a chance to interview the Power Girl on life after reality.

On the show Fashion PR is presented like a high drama world of angry clients, shitty interns and breakdowns. Is it really so dramatic?

Fashion PR is a face-paced, cutthroat industry and you deal with a lot of people on many levels and many have a my way or the highway attitude. Trust me I’m not the first person to cry in an office, I’m just one of few that it happened to on camera on national television.

Kelly’s become famous for her tidbits of advice like “If You Have to Cry, Go Outside”. What would be your tagline if you had to choose just one?

Hmmm…F&$% my life? Ha!

On the show, you’re often portrayed as someone under an extreme amount of pressure who’s on the verge of breaking. How do you feel about your portrayal?

I’m not the only one under extreme pressures in our office, but at the time of filming I was survival of the fittest and I’ve been at the company for longer than interns and those that have come and gone. I think the portrayal is accurate in showing I’m a hard worker, dedicated and loyal. As the season continues you’ll also get to see that I am starting to learn that balance of life and work and I think I’m pretty funny at times too.

If you could represent any one in the fashion industry who would it be?

I love Marc Jacobs and Rick Owens since Mr. Mukamal (Andrew) has come into my life.

If you weren’t in fashion PR what would you be doing right now?

I always joke saying I would be a kindergarten teacher.

How has your life changed since the show? Are you totally a major celebrity now? Have you forgotten all the little people yet?

Celebrity no, but people have been recognizing me. Its surreal when people come up to like they know you, but its cool. I would never forget people that have always been in my life – they will always be there even if this all goes away- I am thankful to have a strong support and safety net.

Do you have a hidden talent?

Ha. no.

What’s the worst part of your day?

When my alarm goes off.

Christina Ricci’s next role? A movie for Donna Karen!!!

COMING SOON: Christina Ricci’s next appearance will not be on the silver screen but in a Donna Karan-friendly short called “Four Play.” Directed by Jake Sumner, the son of Sting and Trudie Styler, the flick features the actress in four different scenarios — the dreamer, the paramour, the expressionist and the voyeur. Ricci appears primping, dancing, spying and lounging in various stages of dress and undress at the Soho Grand Hotel. The spot revolves around the designer’s pleated leather Eldridge bag, which can be worn four different ways.

The Donna Karan Co. partnered with People’s Revolution and the creative agency All Day Everyday to produce the two-minute short, which will be posted online. People’s Revolution’s Kelly Cutrone said, “For years, I have been a big believer in the idea that designers need to create and control their own content so it can’t be stolen or looted as it is at fashion shows. Let’s face it: Anyone at the end of a riser can take that footage and do anything they want with it.”

Her company and All Day Everyday also teamed up with DKNY for another short that centers on the DKNY Cozy sweater. Director Kai Regan, who has worked with Comme des Garçons, Nike and Shepard Fairey, among others, was brought on board to try to bring this fall’s Cozy ad campaign to life. Fourteen models — wearing the Cozy in a variety of ways — marched all over the city with Regan’s camera trailing them. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs provided their “Heads Will Roll” tune for the film. One version will be used in DKNY stores and another will be uploaded on DKNY’s Facebook fan page, uploaded on YouTube and provided to bloggers. (WWD)

It seems that after everyone that gets 15 seconds of fame decides to drag their sisters into it. 

Stephanie Pratt: Don’t wear so much makeup, you’re pretty without it. And like Megan Fox, please do something different with your hair.

Holly Montag: Isn’t that the girl that your sister yelled at at least three times on The Hills? Why are you hanging out with her?  I love the chains, but that blazer seems a bit too wintery for California.

Casey Patridge: Okay, at least the other two were on the show. Why are you here? And with your tattooed boyfriend that people also don’t know (and tattoos on his face, really?)..Don’t fall out of your dress…

Hollywood families can work sometimes, but all of the sisters we’ve seen lately are really lacking. (Noah Cyrus)

I know what all you little whinny commenters are going to say before you even say it, so here it goes. “Kelly Cutrone was famous before she was even on The Hills!” Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah (assume an annoying snotty tone). Here’s the bottom line people. Yes, Kelly Cutrone was well known in her field/industry before she ever appeared on The Hills. However, she was not popular enough to get her own show, which exactly what this People’s Revolution iron fisted boss is getting. The original producers of Project Runway (The Magical Elves) are teaming up with Catrone to bring viewers the “nitty-gritty” side of the publicity world. Being the PR person I am (imagine that I’m not even a writer, so get off my ass about my rare grammatical errors) naturally interested in the show. Keep an eye out for your Corey Moran/Fashion Indie cameo bitches! No word on when the show is going to start up, but we’ll keep you posted as we hear more!

Recently there has been talk of Whitney Port dumping People’s Revolution for a position concerning in-house PR at DVF. Though this was just speculation, it has been reported that Whitney is most definitely going to be a PR-department intern and, in the past couple of days, she has certainly laid down her territory! The reality star was spotted outside the DVF offices yesterday confirming the rumors. Spreading her belongings out on her new desk, Whitney is getting settled into her new position awfully quick. Well, this should be interesting; wonder if she’ll bring the cameras.

If anyone is interested, here is the recap of the anticipated (I don’t know why) guilty pleasure “The Hills.” Click on more.

We open at People’s Revolution, where Lauren and Whitney are talking and, um, staring at jeans. Lauren tells Whitney that they’re throwing a birthday party for Audrina (providing the requisite “party scene” later on in the show, obviously), and also that she has a date. A date! Whitney’s face contorts. Lauren explains that back in the day she went to this kid’s prom with him. “Oh my gosh,” says Whitney. “Such a small world.” From now on, we’re counting how many times Whitney says “Oh my gosh” per episode.

We’ve landed at Bolthouse, where Heidi and her work “friend,” Kimberly, are chatting on a couch. Heidi says her sister is coming to visit, but she’s not excited, because her McDoucherton boyfriend just moved back in and she hasn’t told him yet. We’re sad we didn’t get to see the actual move-in, when Spencer just took his stuff out of the closet and from under the bed … since they NEVER ACTUALLY BROKE UP. Whatever, we’re over it. Does Heidi have a Birkin? She does! My god, Hermès is going down the tubes.

L.C. goes on her date with the funnily named Doug, who looks a little like Ryan Reynolds, complete with too-close-together eyes. He’s a total idiot, but so is she, so it kind of works. “What have you been doing for the last four years of your life?” he asks her. HILARIOUS. Lauren hasn’t been up to anything special, Doug, we swear. Just normal becoming a reality-TV superstar/starring in a sex tape/not really in college/starting a fashion line/becoming a millionaire stuff. Before they even get their drinks, he asks her if they can go out again, and we smell a Hills hanger-on! Lauren invites him to Audrina’s birthday party, and he’s in. Yay.

Cut to Audrina’s fiesta: Doug walks in wearing a sleeveless Lakers jersey. Ew: Never trust a guy in tank top. L.C. doesn’t pay too much attention to him for the rest of the party, so there you go. Then Audrina’s punk friends roll in: There’s a guy with a huge mohawk and a guy with an earring that takes up his entire ear. Lo is turned off by the freak parade, of course, and Lauren tells her to “be the charming and friendly Lo that I know and love.” Wait, who’s that? Lo responds by going upstairs to be antisocial and play with the dog. But wait — JUSTIN BOBBY HAS ARRIVED. We are SO happy to see him. He’s wearing a leather jacket with writing on it, and he immediately tries to throw Audrina in the pool. That guy really knows how to make us laugh out loud.

Back from commercial, Heidi’s sister — who now has a whole new set of horrible hair extensions, thanks to her big sis — is leaving town. She suggests moving out to L.A., as she doesn’t have anything going on in Colorado (good work with your daughters, Montag parents) — Spencer looks pissed, and now we have another plotline for the season.

And here’s that climatic talk, worthy of this episode’s title. Lo has to confront Audrina; she says Audrina’s not making an effort, and Audrina says Lo is mean and that she and Lauren gang up on her. Audrina’s priceless, heartbreaking line: “I have friends that treat me good and I feel included and you don’t do that.” Awwwwwww. She has friends that treat her good! Even though she wears shirts that say “Hyper Crush Sex.” Then she says, “We’ll never be friends.” Lo seems taken aback by this display of confidence and ends it with, “I’m going to leave you to your place.” She is such a snot.

Next week: The return of Stephanie Pratt! We can’t wait. We hope she and Holly become Hills-star-sister friends and conquer the world together.
