fashionologie — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:15:46 PDT

>> Whitney Port may have just gotten offered a promotion at People's Revolution last night on The Hills, but as for what's happening in the now, that rumor about her working for Diane von Furstenberg? It's so on.

She was snapped being filmed outside the Diane von Furstenberg offices in NYC yesterday, canoodling with a new guy. So does this mean we will be seeing her working Diane's show during New York Fashion Week? And better yet . . . how long do we have to wait before Diane makes a cameo on camera?

Diane von Furstenberg: On the Road to Reality TV?

fashionologie — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:09:04 PDT

>> Is Diane von Furstenberg picking up where People's Revolution and Teen Vogue left off?

Fashionista reports that Whitney Port of The Hills fame is jockeying jobs again, which if true, means she won't be spotted helping Kelly Cutrone at any of the People's Revolution-produced fashion shows next month. Supposedly, Whitney has moved on "to do in-house public relations for an unnamed designer," and the name that's being thrown around is Diane von Furstenberg.

A DVF spokesperson told Fashionista they "can't confirm" the rumor, but The Cut reports that sources have recently seen reality-TV producers at the DVF offices.

It's important to note that when Whitney left her post at Teen Vogue for a post at People's Revolution, Hills star Lauren Conrad followed her — so if the rumors are true, and Lauren follows Whitney to DVF like in the past, we're talking some major prime time coverage for the designer. There's also a possibility that this is the beginning of Whitney's rumored Hills spin-off. Either way, if DVF is involved, this could be big — the viewer market is right where she wants to be.

Isabeli Fontana Engaged to Rohan Marley

Justin Fenner — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:03:23 PDT

Congratulations are in order for Isabeli Fontana, who recently announced she's engaged to Rohan Marley, son of singer Bob Marley.

Fontana, 28, told Brazilian newspaper Terra that she and Marley haven't set a date but plan to hold the wedding in Ethiopia. The country is the birthplace of Rastafarian culture, which holds a special significance for 39-year-old Marley.

"Rohan told me that we must return to their origins so that the marriage will last forever," Fontana said.

Fontana was previously wed to models Álvaro Jacomossi and Henri Castelli and had a son with each. Marley was once married to his college girlfriend and was in a relationship from 1996 to 2011 with singer Lauryn Hill, with whom he has five children. Last Summer, Fontana was rumored to have come between Marley and Hill, but Marley roundly denied that notion. He and Fontana have been dating since October 2011 and recently attended the Met Gala together.

Take a look at the happy couple together - and at Fontana's work for everyone from Dolce & Gabbana to Victoria's Secret - here in the gallery.
