Fashionistas attending the NYC Fashion Week shows snubbed their noses at Prince William’s bride, calling her just a “trend follower,” not a trendsetter. I strongly disagree! Do you?
“She is stylish but she’s not setting trends,” sniffed Gregg Andrews, a fashion director at Nordstrom’s department store, according to London’s Mail Online website. “If you take Kate out of the Royal Family, put her on a street in New York, you wouldn’t look at her twice.”
Shockingly Elle fashion news director Anne Slowey, seconds that opinion saying: Is she a style icon of the likes of Kate Moss? Absolutely not.”
Well snooty Fashionistas — Kate Middleton is one of the biggest fashion trendsetters in the world today and it’s precisely because she looks pretty, chic, appropriate, and yet totally relatable.
The fact that she’s not carrying around a Birkin bag, wearing the latest sky high Louboutins,...

Tending to the day's agenda, Whitney Port was spotted out and about in the West Village of New York City on Thursday (June 3).
Always looking stylish, the MTV vixen was rocking a striped shirt and a pleated skirt as she quickly passed by the always-present paparazzi.
The sighting comes shortly after another new episode of "The City" aired on MTV, during which Miss Port showed off her Whitney Eve line to the distaste of her viewers.
As for what went down, Whitney showed off her complete collection to Elle's creative director, Joe Zee, and fashion news director, Anne Slowey, after which she almost ended up in tears after the duo's appraisal of the collection.
Saying that she's tired of rejection, the reality starlet seemed to be contemplating calling it quits in the fashion world.

Over on The City, Whitney Port lucked into the opportunity of a lifetime when she was able to showcase her clothing line for Elle magazine muckety-mucks Joe Zee and Anne Slowey. Unfortunately she didn't get the response she was hoping for. But as that Slowey lady reminds her, Alex Wang started off slow, too. Oh, you laugh, but it really is one hell of a sweater. See? Totally.

As reality shows go, The City was actually fairly realistic last night, as three of our heroines were openly chastised for being inept at their jobs, or at least not meeting expectations.
In this regard, it can be a compelling program in ways The Hills couldn't imagine. Sure, certain situations are highly edited and unrealistic. But there are layers of cold, hard truth.
Is Whitney Port a fashion designer with a reality TV show on the side, or a no-talent reality star trying to make it in high fashion? The line is frequently blurred, the question loaded.
Last night, she sure looked to be the latter, as Anne Slowey slapped her around (figuratively) at Elle. Basically, Whit was told her fashion collection had all been done before.
For a designer, that's as big a put-down as they come.
Roxy Olin wears her typically confused expression.

Meet Anne Slowey, Elle magazine's Fashion News Director - and primetime's next Queen of Mean.
She is the star of a new reality show, "Stylista," set to debut this fall. And when the clips from her new show were screened for reporters over the weekend in La, the reaction was jaw dropping.
The show - from executive producer Tyra Banks - is more than loosely inspired by "The Devil Wears Prada." There's even a scene where Slowey emerges from an elevator wearing oversized sunglasses and tosses her coat and bags on an assistant's desk.

It's official -- the CW on Sunday picked up the "Beverly Hills, 90210" spinoff to series.
The network also renewed comedy "The Game" and went for a full night of Tyra Banks/Ken Mok fashion-themed reality shows with the pickup of "Stylista".
"90210", from CBS Par, centers on a three generational Beverly Hills family. Original cast member Jennie Garth has signed on to recur, reprising her role as Kelly Taylor from the original series who now will be a guiding counselor at her alma mater, West Beverly Hills High.

The project, which appears Wednesday-bound as a companion piece to Banks and Mok's "America's Next Top Model", was originally greenlighted in January.
The contestants will work as assistants to Elle's fashion news director, Anne Slowey, carrying out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode.
