(Cover) - EN Star Style - Whitney Port continually looks to Diane Von Frstenberg for fashion inspiration.

The reality TV star shot to international fame in reality show The Hills, and its spin off show The City, and in 2008 unveiled her own fashion line called Whitney Eve.

Before launching her own clothing brand, Whitney interned with acclaimed designer Diane Von

Frstenberg, and has revealed that she is still influenced by the fashionista when creating her clothes.

"I mean, Diane Von Frstenberg taught me that I need to design for every woman, that I can't just keep one woman in mind and I have to think about what girls of all shapes and sizes are going to want to wear so this is always in the back of my head," she revealed in an interview with Grazia magazine. "She's just so empowering in general and as a female influence she's made a big impact on my life."

Whitney is grateful to her reality TV career, because she was able to forge a successful fashion career due to it. Although she struggled with the pressures of fame, Whitney is happy that her "ultimate goal" of being in the fashion industry was achieved.

"It was so much fun! I mean, obviously there are points when I thought I can't handle this anymore! I didn't want the pressure of every move I made and everything I said being on TV, but for the most part, I was able to launch my clothing line off the back of it, which was my ultimate goal so I'll always be grateful for that," she explained.
