Whitney Dishes on NYC Style, Her Line, & More

After the successful Bryant Park debut of her fashion label Whitney Eve in September, The City star Whitney Port is busy delivering the Spring collection to retailers, but still found time to chat with WWD about the challenges she faces as a young designer. “Obviously, it’s scary,” she said. “I think it’s really hard to break out right now since the fashion industry is struggling. I mean, people don’t want to spend their money on clothes right now–it’s a luxury … I think my biggest competition is myself.” The 24 year-old is quick to distinguish herself from her former MTV castmates: “I put myself in a different sort of realm as them,” referring to Hills star Heidi Montag, whose line, Heidiwood, closed just months after its debut, and Lauren Conrad, who designs for Kohl’s after her high-priced line was also unsuccessful. The ambitious New York transplant, who says her new hometown is “a lot more sophisticated and a lot more forward-thinking” than L.A., is even toying with venturing into accessories: “I would love to but I don’t know how talented I’d be at it,” she said. “But eventually, I think that would be a cool option.”

Whitney Admits She Has Doubts As A Designer

Don't let the Christian Sirianos of the world fool you. Becoming the next big designer doesn't happen overnight, and it certainly doesn't happen to every girl/guy with a sewing machine and a dream. Fortunately, things are looking promising for Whitney Port, who turned her preliminary sketches into a full-fledged collection (Whitney Eve) on The City and is gearing up to see her spring 2010 line hit stores at the end of January.

Yesterday, the stylish City star spoke with WWD.com about the dual pressures of making it in the industry -- and following in the footsteps of former costars (and fellow fashionistas) Heidi Pratt and Lauren Conrad. And while Whit waved off comparisons to her girlfriends (they're all designers, but that's about it!), she admitted to feeling the pressures of the economic downturn.

"Obviously, it's scary," Whitney confessed. "I think it's really hard to break out [as a designer] right now since the fashion industry is struggling. I mean, people don't want to spend their money on clothes right now -- it's a luxury."

So how does she cope with her fears? By forgetting about all the scary statistics -- and putting her energy towards creating clothes that reflect her personal style.

"You're always worried about people not understanding your point of view, not being able to get it. But I think my biggest competition is myself."

Whitney Port Runway Looks on Sale at RueLaLa

Whitney Port may be peeved about the lack of support from frenemy and Elle "reporter" Olivia Palermo on this season of the The City, but the socialite-slash-budding designer seems to be doing just fine on her own. Currently, RueLaLa members are shopping the reality star's Whitney Eve Collection as part of the the Modern Designers flash sales presented by, ahem, Elle magazine.

Fans of The City are apparently quite eager to slip into Whit's designs. Within two hours of the sale's launch, half the items were sold out. For now, six admittedly cute pieces remain including (our favorite) a black polka dot bustier top. For those of us in need of a gold ruffled jacket or a watercolor bow vest, the clock is ticking. The RueLaLa sale ends in just four days and some odd hours.

Launched in 2008 by The Hills star Whitney Port, this collection of convertible dresses, tops and jackets is perfect for partywear. Syles come in bright colors and prints with a serious side of fun!

Whitney Port Promotes 'The City' In The City

Whitney Port was up bright and early this morning (April 26) in New York City as she taped an interview for the Wendy Williams Show.

Dressed to impress, the 25-year-old reality TV starlet was on hand to talk about her latest fashion line Whitney Eve as well as to dish about the upcoming drama for the next season of The City.

The big premiere airs tomorrow and centers on up-and-coming clothing designer Whitney and the issues she faces to make it in the fashion industry in New York.

“This season, you’ll not only see Whitney step into the new, exciting territory of truly being a fashion designer, but she also becomes an adult and true professional,” executive producer Liz Gately tells the New York Daily News. “She really takes ownership of her line, and we pull back the curtain on how a young designer gets it all together.”

Whitney Port On The Wemdy Williams Show

"With the new season of The City premiering tomorrow I am doing a bunch of press for it this week. Be sure to check back to my blog so that you can find out where I'll be and when. Tune in to The Wendy Williams Show TODAY to see me and some of my Whitney Eve clothes!"

Whitney Port: Back to "The City" Grind

Getting back to work on her MTV show, Whitney Port was spotted out in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (March 24).

Recently returned to the Big Apple after spending time in Australia and Los Angeles, the 25-year-old looked lovely as she arrived on the set of "The City" in the West Village.

The sighting comes shortly after it was revealed that Miss Port is facing a troubling situation - as she's been sued by designer Adrienne Baravetto.

Miss Baravetto claims she hasn't been paid a penny after doing most of the leg work for Miss Port's fashionable offerings - for which she was guaranteed an $80,000/year salary and 25% ownership.

In response, Whitney's lawyer, Michael A. Taitelman, tells People magazine, “The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed on March 19, 2010 against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve. Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008. For more than two years, she has been silent. For reasons that we will uncover, she has decided to make these unsubstantiated allegations at this time. The defendants will vigorously defend themselves, and upon the successful conclusion of this lawsuit in their favor, they intend to hold Baravetto and her counsel accountable for their reckless conduct.”

Designer: Whitney Port Jacked My Style

Whitney Port is not the driving force behind her own clothing line -- this according to the designer who claims she did most of the work ... but got a raw deal financially.

According to a lawsuit filed Friday in L.A. County Superior Court, "Whitney Eve" -- which is advertised as Whitney Port's clothing line -- is mostly the work of designer Adrienne Baravetto.

In the court documents, Baravetto claims she met with Whitney Port and her father in 2007 to create a clothing line for women called Eve & A.

According to the suit, Baravetto claims she never signed an official contract but there was an oral agreement between both parties -- and she was promised an $80,000 annual salary plus 25 percent of the company.

Once the line got positive media attention -- and was purchased by several high-end retailers like Fred Segal -- Baravetto claims Whitney and her dad changed the name to "Whitney Eve" and cut Baravetto out of the deal.

Baravetto wants everything she says she was promised, plus punitive damages.

UPDATE: According to Whitney's rep, Baravetto's lawsuit is "baseless and without merit."

Whitney Port: Chilling in the West Village

Making her rounds in New York City, Whitney Port was spotted out and about in the West Village last night (February 10).

The “City” chick looked stylish as usual as she strolled past the paparazzi, sporting a black leather coat with animal print stockings and brown leather boots.

And it sounds like Whitney is getting excited for her new WhitneyEve clothing line, as she’s preparing to debut her Fall 2010 line.

She tweeted, “sending good vibes to my team in LA, @whitneyeve! have fun at the shoot today, can’t wait to see how the fall 2010 clothes look on the model.”
