Former television sensation Mischa Barton knows all too well the perils of overnight success in a fickle industry fueled by insatiable TMZ cameras. But in this starlet-inspired fashion story, shot on location at Hollywood’s iconic and recently revamped Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas -- see full gallery -- the effortlessly glamorous star of The Sixth Sense, The O.C. and this month’s Assassination of a High School President proves she has what it takes to overcome her crash-and-burn past. Mr. Demille, you might want to go in for that close-up one more time.

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.

The BlackBook edit staff decamped to the West Coast this week for our upcoming special Hollywood issue, embarking on a non-stop star-packed marathon of splashy (literally!) fashion shoots and do-tell-all interviews. We danced with Paparazzi (the 23-year-old next superstar deejay, that is) and tried not to gawk or stalk the many other awesome stars who crossed our paths. Hardest of all to resist: Morrissey, whose new album, due out early next year, we anxiously await. Several Morrissey sightings have left a resounding echo in our heads: the orchestral strains of "Everyday Is Like Sunday." Silent and grey, however, not so much.

Redrum’s not on the cocktail menu; Tom Collinses and Sidecars might be.

1. Sunset Tower Hotel (West Hollywood) - A rehabbed building that’s just the peak of Art Deco beauty, plus a bar with a view.
2. Chateau Marmont (West Hollywood) - Stars have lived hard and died early here; we suggest just grabbing a drink and gazing at celebs.
3. Culver Hotel (Culver City) - John Wayne’s old home, Mike Myers’ location of choice, official Munchkins waterhole (yep, Wizard of Oz), and a fabulous lobby bar.
