Like most of The Hills stars, Whitney Port's had launched her own clothing line in 2007, but the
difference with her line from that of say, Lauren Conrad is that another designer claims Port's designs are actually hers.
Designer Adrienne Baravetto is suing Ms. Port who had orally agreed to pay Baravetto to design but has not paid her any amount of money for designs she claims are hers that use Port's Eve & A label.
As People reported,
As first reported by TMZ.com, Baravetto alleges she had an oral agreement with Port and her father, including a $80,000 yearly salary plus a 25 percent stake in the company. Baravetto also alleges that she did virtually all the design work and that the Ports haven’t paid her a dime. Port’s lawyer Michael A. Taitelman tells PEOPLE, “The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed on March 19, 2010 against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve. Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008.
Wait Whitney Port really designs her own line? If so she is the first actress to do so?! Who has time for that? Really?!
