Kelly Cutrone Debuts her New Reality TV Show Kell on Earth

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

People’s Revolution owner, The City cast member, and, one tough cookie, Kelly Cutrone, made her Bravo TV debut last night in her new show Kell on Earth. With a name born from an insult hurled by a nasty, former lover, Kell on Earth gives us a glimpse into the everyday life of the shrewd, successful, and, at times, kinda scary fashionista.

Cutrone calls her reality tv show, Kell on Earth a “girl power show” that highlights brazen business women as they conquer the world while also allowing viewers to follow her life away from the “Priestess Temple” that is People’s Revolution. Behind her hard veneer is a woman who, shockingly, lives in a pink and white house and appears to be a jovial person with a heart of gold.

The other side of Kelly Cutrone is an unexpected and interesting one. We meet a woman who loves to cook “psychic recipes”, which consist of going to the market and asking the food what it wants to become, and someone who includes driving to her home town, Syracuse, with an all black clad entourage, for a trip to her favorite ice rink, on her list of favorite things. At home, Cutrone is in her most important role as mother to adorable, seven year old daughter Ava, and, as she fondly puts it, interracial wife to Ava’s nanny.

With so many insipid reality tv stars stinking up the atmosphere, the introduction of a trend setter and a fashion powerhouse to the fray is a breath of fresh air.

Gucci Biography – The History of the Gucci Brand

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

In 1921, Guccio Gucci opens a small leather goods store in Florence, Italy featuring handcrafted goods created by Tuscan artisans. Within a decade, Gucci attracts an international clientele, drawn to the brand’s unique equestrian-inspired goods.

Following his death in 1953, Gucci’s sons expand their fathers’ business, opening stores in Milan and New York. By the 1970s, Gucci reaches into the Far East – earning its status as a global brand. Under the Creative Direction of Tom Ford, Gucci establishes itself as a predominant luxury brand of the 1990s.

As of today, Gucci remains a recognized leader in the fashion industry, and continues to produce the equestrian-inspired leather goods first envisioned by Guccio Gucci.
