Whitney Eve....With Love

Whitney Eve launched her third line at New York’s Fashion week.  Although her pieces are not pocket friendly …..especially for a college student.  I decided to write about Whitney because she has an inspiring story.  Whitney is a LA native and went to the University of Southern California.  Whitney was an intern for Tommy Hilfiger before she became a star on the MTV series "The Hills" where she interned for Teen Vogue Magazine. 

In "The Hills" Whitney showed how a strong work ethic and determination can get you a long way.  Whitney left Teen Vogue and got a job offering at People's Revolution.  Kelly Cutrone (owner of People's Revolution) taught the do's and don’ts of the fashion industry.  

..We might not all get to be stars on TV, but her passion and drive has opened up a world of opportunities. Whitney is a remodel for all aspiring fashion designers; you can't just wake up one morning and have your line featured in fashion week.  You have to work your way... ladies and gents start interning.
