fashionologie — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:55:34 PDT

>> Page Six reported this morning that Kelly Cutrone fired her former assistant Andrew Mukamal because after appearing on Bravo's People's Revolution-centric show Kell on Earth, Mukamal, in her words, "cared more about being a TV personality than being my assistant." She added that he was distributing photos of himself in front of the People's Revolution logo, with captions about what he was wearing: "Just because you worked as an assistant in the fashion industry doesn't make you an expert." Mukamal, who has reportedly pitched his own reality show to E!, responded, "No comment." But Cutrone took to her Twitter this afternoon to clarify: "Time to go on record about Tara Palmeri's Page Six item about [Andrew Mukamal] and I - Andrew has not worked at [People's Revolution] since July - I am not upset about his desire to be on TV - I wish him the best - If I wanted to cut ties sharply or in an aggressive manner with Andrew - I would have done so in July not now - Must have been a slow day over at Page Six."

>> Kelly Cutrone Working on Scripted, Fashion-Based Show with MTV? - Kelly Cutrone's Bravo reality show Kell on Earth hasn't been picked up for a second season yet - a Bravo spokesperson confirmed the jury was still out, although the show's ratings were small, with the series premiere bringing in under 300,000 viewers. It seems that Cutrone's not holding her breath: word has it that Cutrone might be heading back to her old digs at MTV for a new project. "Who has a new deal at MTV? Hmmmm, could it be Kelly C ?!!!! I think so," Tweeted Cutrone on Sunday. While an MTV rep declined comment, insiders confirm that Cutrone and MTV are in discussions, and from Cutrone's tweets yesterday, it sounds like she's veering out of reality TV: she's set to be in Los Angeles at the end of the month to pitch a pilot for a scripted, fashion-based show she's teamed up with Fake Empire, the executive producers of Gossip Girl, for. "Fiction is the new Reality," she Tweeted. [Vulture, @peoplesrev, @peoplesrev, @peoplesrev]

>> Kell on Earth Renewal Up in the Air, But Kelly Cutrone Already Has Another TV Project -Kelly Cutrone's "Kell on Earth" reality show on Bravo came to a close with its season finale on Monday, but will it be back for more? "Nobody announces a season two at the end of a show," Cutrone says. "I don't really know what's going on." A Bravo rep added, "We don't have any decisions on a season two yet." But Cutrone also noted that she signed a "major deal in LA last week" for a "scripted network TV show." The show will be about the fashion industry, and Cutrone says she's set to executive produce and write. [PRNewser]

Kelly Cutrone Fires Two Employees on Season One of 'Kell on Earth'

coutorture — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:46:49 PST

This afternoon Kelly Cutrone was interviewed via live stream by the Associated Press to promote her Bravo show, Kell on Earth, and revealed a few new tidbits.

Talking about censoring herself for television, Cutrone promised she remains "one of the most unedited PR communications expert that exists" while filming her show and that she doesn't allow the cameras to alter her often-explosive reactions. On hiring and firing staff members, Cutrone revealed, "we lose a couple of peeps along the way this season." Adding she hates to let people go, Cutrone explained how she recently had an employee do the firing because she needed to get to a Jonas Brothers concert with her daughter Eva.

However laissez-faire the PR guru seems to be about opening her life to Bravo's camera crews, Cutrone admits premiering a new show is dangerous territory. "I'll be happy in a couple of weeks if the ratings are good," she said. "You have to get good ratings to stay on T.V. If not, there's nothing to talk about." And, in Kelly's world, nothing to talk about might just be the worst fate. Kell on Earth premieres tonight.

Kelly Cutrone Doesn't Have Patience for Fashion Show Crashers

>> While gearing up for the premiere of her reality show Kell on Earth on Bravo Feb. 1, Kelly Cutrone conducted a conference call for press today. One journalist asked Cutrone, who runs full-service PR agency People's Revolution and twice a year finds herself making sure her clients' runway shows are running smoothly, how she deals with Fashion Week crashers and seat-changers:

I mean . . . You'll see on the show I do not have a lot of patience for crashers. It happens a lot at Bryant Park. It makes me crazy when they clog up the line. Those front row seats end up costing like 300 to 500 dollars. Those are the money seats. All of a sudden I've got [New York Times critic] Guy Trebay standing there, who is really lovely - but he'll just split. I don't want to be the person standing backstage getting fired because Women's Wear Daily or the New York Times reviewer just left because they couldn't find a seat. I also do my new favorite thing, the walk-away. When people are just trying to convince me and I just walk away. Also the slide . . . where you just don't say anything. And just slide away.

London Fashion Week Hires Kelly Cutrone to Bring Editors, Buyers, and Bravo TV Cameras

fashionologie — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:28:45 PDT

>> After almost being edged out by New York and Milan Fashion Weeks last season, the British Fashion Council has launched a major push to bring London Fashion Week back on solid ground. Already, in conjunction with the event's 25th anniversary, Burberry, Matthew Williamson, Pringle of Scotland, Jonathan Saunders, Clements Ribeiro, and Jasmine de Milo - with Amanda Wakeley and Jeremy Scott, who's never shown in London, as the latest converts - have pledged to show in London for the Spring 2010 season in September.

Now, the British Fashion Council has announced it hired Kelly Cutrone's US-based PR company, People's Revolution, to promote London Fashion Week and British designers stateside. The goal is to drive buyer and editor traffic, according to BFC joint chief executive Caroline Rush: “The appointment of People’s Revolution aims to increase awareness and exposure of British designers amongst US media and buyers with the goal of supporting the growth of designer businesses and increasing the attendance of these audiences at London Fashion Week.”

And there's always the added advantage of TV visibility - cameras for Kelly's upcoming Bravo show, Kell on Earth, will be shooting all through London Fashion Week.
