Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, Cate Blanchett , Sarah Jessica Parker and more hit the red carpet for Elle‘s ‘Women in Hollywood’ event. They embraced color and we liked it. Click through to see what everyone wore.
It was only a matter of time…Prince Harry decided to play “strip billiards” (so that’s a thing?) and someone had a phone with a camera (weird!) and took photos and sold them to TMZ (even weirder right!?) probably for buckets of money. So yeah, crown jewels this way if you haven’t seen ‘em already. {TMZ} Read more →
We hope your bags and backs are ready because it’s nearly that time of year again! That’s right–the September issues are upon us! As Candy Pratt’s Price famously drawled in The September Issue, “September is the January in fashion” (which, P.S., you can actually get as a ringtone–you’re welcome). What she meant is that September Read more →
Whitney Port, author/fashion designer/reality star, is looking for a little help from the internet to pay for her show at fashion week. Donating to her includes some interesting rewards like ‘thank you’ tweets. The only problem–well besides the fact that a fashion show ain’t no charity? Whitney Port is supposedly already rich off the $20,000 Read more →

Not many have made the successful transition from reality TV star to legitimate designer–but former Hills star Whitney Port is certainly trying.
Port launched her own line Whitney Eve in 2008, and after four years of presentations and look books, the designer is finally taking her collection to the tents. She’ll show her Fall 2012 collection–her first-ever runway show–at 9am on February 15 in The Studio at Lincoln Center. Not half bad for a 26-year-old with little (or no?) actual design training.
Charlotte Ronson has essentially built a career designing for her friends–which isn’t such a bad thing when you consider who we’re talking about here: Margherita Missoni, Kelly Osbourne, Joy Bryant, Whitney Port and Nicky Hilton were among the designer’s pals who came to show support at Ronson’s spring 2012 show. And that’s not even counting the Ronson bloodline, which, with Sam Ronson DJ’ing the event and Annabelle Dexter-Jones walking, was in full force.
But while the celebrities were easy to spot, the actual collection was a bit harder to pin down.
Whitney Port has just released images from the latest Whitney Eve lookbook on Celebuzz. The former reality-TV-star cum fashion designer–or her favorite personal assistant–took to the blog herself to announce the collection. Quoth she: “Hi tootsies, I am beyond thrilled to finally be able to present to you the Fall 2011 LookBook!!!”
The collection features a lot of colorful graphic prints, which Whitney says were “inspired by [her] trip to Africa last October,” although no doubt the influence of buzzy up-and-coming label Suno, whose collections are often inspired by traditional African textiles, can be seen. However, Whitney definitely puts her own spin on the trend, and the result is a colorful collection that’s more California surfer girl than African anything.
Fans of affordable British retailer Superdry USA, including Jessica Szohr and Whitney Port, were happy to escape Wednesday night’s heat to celebrate the brand’s newest digs at South Street Seaport. The party marks Superdry’s second NYC address—the first shop hit NoHo in 2009. “This new location is fantastic with international and domestic consumers,” explained Superdry President Michael Martens. “We have 140 stores worldwide so when a European consumer comes here they immediately recognize this store and come in and shop,” he said.

Success at Last for ANTM: For the first time in ages, America’s Next Model has spawned a model with whom the industry is actually interested. Cycle 15 winner Ann Ward’s first round of Polaroids for IMG are out, and a spread in Italian Vogue is next. Ragazza fortunata. {The Cut}
Erin Kaplan, our favorite City character (seriously, what would Olivia Palermo be without her?), and Elle‘s head of PR is leaving the mag after over five years to become the head of PR at Teen Vogue.
While it could just be that Kaplan’s really good at her job and put in a good amount of time at Elle and is ready for a change to a different glossy with a different publisher, we’ve got a hunch Kaplan’s strong TV chops might have something to do with it. Teen Vogue‘s Amy Astley mentioned a little while back that the mag was developing a TV show. Kaplan proved herself to be a dynamic and engaging character on the City and she’d be an asset to a similar show.
Plus it only seems fair since City alums Olivia Palermo and Whitney Port both have shows in the works.
