Whitney Port is Determined to Succeed in Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Whitney Port won't give up until she's considered a successful fashion designer.
The reality TV star - who launched her ready-to-wear collection Whitney Eve in March 2008 - admits she worries about failing, but is determined to persevere until she is regarded a success in the industry.
"It was never a goal of mine to be a reality TV star and at time I didn't find [the cameras] easy. But I have [The City] to thank for giving me exposure. I worry people think I'm a designer just for the sake of it, and I continually worry about failing, but I'm just going to work hard until I make it," she said.
The 27-year-old star first appeared on The Hills alongside Lauren Conrad as a Teen VOGUE intern, before landing her own MTV reality show, The City in 2008. The popular show also helped launch the careers of fellow fashionistas Olivia Palermo and Louise Roe.

From a supporting friend
actress on The City, Olivia Palermo is moving her career up to modeling status as the new face of Mango. The 24-year-old beauty will star alongside model boyfriend Johannes Heubl in the campaign, which she admits was initially embarrassing to shoot.
“At first, it was really embarrassing - but then I remembered it was just him and I could be normal - so then it was really fun.”
However, she is unsure if the Spanish brand - which is also fronted by Scarlett Johansson and Poppy Delevigne - will show the shoot internationally. “I don’t know about that but I’m really pleased to have done it.”
It is not yet clear if she will design her own range of clothes for the store as former models Penelope Cruz and Milla Jovovich have done. Earlier this month, Olivia confessed she has a whole host of ambitions in the fashion industry: “I want to act, model, try it all. Designing a collection will come in time.”
“I play around with different styles. I don’t think I can wear the clothes I wore when I was 20, now that I’m 24,” she explained.
