Kelly Cutrone, the founder of People's Revolution, embarked on her first public relations venture when she realized that fashion was the new rock 'n' roll. With the help of now-partners Robyn Berkley and Emily Bungert, People's Revolution is a leading bi-coastal marketing and branding firm and a frontrunner in the fashion industry. The one-time affiliates of The Hills have their hands full for the fall ’09 collections -- handing names such as: Yigal Azrouel, David Delfin, Buckler, Mara Hoffman, Nicholas K, Sergio Da Vila, Alexandre Herchcovitch, and Chado Ralph Rucci. The lightning-speed lifestyle required for the job has earned the firm a tough-as-nails reputation, but it occasionally takes a toll on the team. Upon arriving at the People's SoHo office to sit down with BlackBook, Emily Bungert announced that her bi-annual Fashion Week ailment was already creeping in. "I’m losing my voice," she said, "I lose my voice every Fashion Week. It’s just usually not two weeks before ... it’s usually right in the middle or towards the end." Read on for more from the power trio on the days leading up to the mayhem, nostalgia for Fashion Weeks past, and, without doubt, The Hills.
