Lauren Conrad rocks a Nanette Lepore dress on the cover of Teen Vogue’s November 2010 issue, on newsstands Tuesday, October 19!
Here’s what the 24-year-old reality-star-turned-designer had to share:
On making a name for herself as a designer: “I’ve sacrificed and worked very hard to get where I am now. So whereas someone just getting out of fashion school may have to struggle for years to have the opportunity to start a clothing line, I’ve been working every single day since I was seventeen toward this. I’m also faced with different challenges. I go into meetings, and people have this preconceived notion of me that I didn’t work hard to get where I am.”
On Heidi Montag’s plastic surgery and Jason Wahler’s decision to join Celebrity Rehab: “They’ve moved on to a different life now. Being on a show like that is a lot more than people think. You’re thrust into the spotlight. There’s all this pressure to act a certain way. It’s hard to adjust. You have to decide early on whether or not you’re willing to do that.”
On her return to reality TV: “It’s going to be very different. I’m doing it on my own terms now. I get final editing approval. That was the only way I would agree to do it.”
FYI: Lauren finished her cover look with an In God We Trust necklace.
