Whitney Port talks about her line Whitney Eve
Last Wednesday morning, WWD stopped by Point A Showroom to get a look at the latest from Whitney Eve, the new line from Whitney Port of "The City." After being beleaguered by a swarm of "City" producers hounding us to sign a release form, we got a preview of the reality star-cum-fashion designer's spring 2010 collection.
The collection, which will be in boutiques Jan. 30 and retails for $60 to $400, is made up of sharply tailored blazers, breezy rainbow-hued blouses and glittery cocktail dresses with sky-high hemlines. And though Port lacks any actual design training, her father, Jeff Port, owns apparel company Swarm, which produces menswear line Shades of Greigh. We sat down with the reality starlet to talk about what's next:
WWD: How do you think New York differs from L.A. in terms of fashion?
Whitney Port: I think New York fashion is just a lot more sophisticated and a lot more forward-thinking. People are more willing to take chances here. People take more pride in what they wear and obviously they have to dress for the elements.
WWD: You've started with apparel, but do you ever see yourself venturing into accessories?
W.P.: I would love to but I don't know how talented I'd be at it. But eventually, I think that would be a cool option.
WWD: You're at People's Revolution five days a week, how do you have time to work on your line?
W.P.: Actually, I'm in and out of there. I have a design space in there and then I also have my apartment, which we just built a whole little section in to design in. I mean, I have to be out in the field. Kelly [Cutrone] told me, 'You know, this is your passion project, so you do whatever you have to do to get this done'. This is my first priority.
WWD: The other "Hills" veterans ventured into the design world with not as much success as they'd hoped. Heidi Montag developed a line that closed shortly after and Lauren Conrad decided to bring her line to Kohl's after not weathering well in the high-end market. Does that concern you at all?
W.P.: I put myself in a different sort of realm as them. Obviously, it's scary. 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. 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.

Audrina Patridge really Loves Her Alexander McQueen cutout dress
In real life, re-wearing dresses is de rigueur. In Hollywood, it's the kiss of death. Yep, no matter how lovely, how flattering or how costly the garment, celebs rarely bring their fave frocks out for a second trip on the red carpet. Fortunately, we've found one star who's daring to be different -- by taking her gorge Alexander McQueen cutout dress for another spin!
Check out these pics of Audrina Patridge sporting a head-turning LBD this weekend to KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas party -- nearly six months after rocking it out at Toronto's MuchMusic Video Awards.

I love that Audrina and Olivia re wear key pieces of their wardrobe but I'm not crazy about this dress. Audrina has a killer body and the dress makes her look well, kind of frumpy. That said, I do like it better with her darker hair and the boots.

Who wore it best: Lo Bosworth vs. Kayla Ewell
Showing a little shoulder is so in right now! The cameras
caught The Hills star Lo Bosworth over the weekend rocking the French Connection “Crush Dress” at an event in Atlantic City, looking adorable!
But we knew we’d seen that number before. We did a little scooping, and discovered that it was the same dress worn by Kayla Ewell of The Vampire Diaries back at the Scream Awards in October.
So we want to know…who rocked the frock better?

Kristin Cavallari and the cast from 'Jersey Shore'
So long, Speidi ... hello, Snooki?
Jersey Shore star Nicole Polizzi (a.k.a. "Snooki"), 21, says her new MTV reality show is giving The Hills a run for its money.
"We are better than The Hills," she told Usmagazine.com at Spike TV's Video Game Awards in Los Angeles Saturday. "It is all real."
Added Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley, 23, "We are not fake; we don't try to present ourselves like we are fake. We don't try to put ourselves in front of the cameras with the hair and the makeup. We tell everyone how we feel. We don't say anything behind their backs."
Viewers seem to be responding.
In its second week, the show's ratings were up 50 percent. This past week's show attracted 2.1 million viewers, a big boost from the 1.3 million viewers that tuned in for Dec. 3. (In comparison, ratings for The Hills ratings dropped significantly: 1.72 million viewers tuned in to the October season 5 finale; 2.6 million viewers watched the season 4 finale).
Hmmm...not fake? It doesn't look like they said all this to Kristin face to face- does it? That said, I do watch the Jersey Shore. A girl's gotta have her vices ;)
