Diane von Furstenberg Runs for The Hills

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.

fashionologie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:07:47 PDT

>> Taylor Tomasi Hill has been captured innumerable times for her street style, but recently she sat for The Block, marking her "first experience being in front of the camera as a model. It was a bit intimidating at first."

In addition to mugging for photographer Tetsuharu Kubota's camera, Tomasi Hill explained the origins of her trademark red hair: "My mother has sported a fiery red mane for as long as I can remember. While in college, I went home to visit - with bright green streaks in my hair. She took me to the salon and asked if I wanted to try her red. An hour later I was a redhead for life." As for whether she'd ever return to her natural hair color: "I may branch out and try something else one day, but I believe I will always go back to red. My husband will occasionally mention that he would love to see me the way he met me, as a brunette, so one day I will do it for him."

She also talks about her newish gig as Sigerson Morrison's creative consultant: "I am going to be working closely with them to differentiate and refresh their two brands [Sigerson Morrison and Belle]. I’ve always been a fan, and hope that I will eventually see the collections develop into something that has my stamp and flavor."

And the other side project she's got going: "At the moment I am working with Lane Crawford’s fashion director, Sarah Rutson, to create a collection showcasing all my favorites. Pieces that are seasonless, some inspired by vintage treasures that I have had in my closet for years. One is inspired by a dress I wore to my first day on the job at W, Teen Vogue, and then Marie Claire. I will be traveling to Hong Kong in January, when the line is slated to hit shelves."
