Whitney Port has had a passion for fashion ever
since she was a young girl. She grew up in a
family of creativity and business, with her mom
as an art teacher and her dad as the owner of
the apparel line, Swarm. As fate would have it,
in 2006 she landed an opportunity to be on the
MTV reality show, The Hills, with an internship at
teenVOGUE. From there her fashion experience
grew when she moved from The Hills to The City.
The show followed her life in NYC, working for
Diane von Fürstenberg and the PR firm, People’s
Revolution. She decided at that time she was
ready to create her own clothing line, Whitney
Eve. The brand has continued to evolve and
expand for the last seven years.
