With a hundreds of girls (and some guys) spilling out of the auditorium to hear Kelly Cutrone speak, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation and excitement. I had first heard of Cutrone through the show “The Hills” that featured her PR firm, People’s Revolution, where Lauren Conrad worked. Seeing People’s Revolution on TV was one of the first encounters I had with PR firms, and it influenced my decision to want to major in PR.
Often times, PR firms become glamorized on TV, so it was nice to hear the reality of difficulty of becoming successful in the fashion PR world through Cutrone, and her journey as a person through it all. It allowed me to understand that more times than not, working in a fashion PR firm, such as People’s Revolution, can be high stress and busy. It was refreshing to hear how certain events in Cutrone’s life developed her as a person. For example, after becoming mother, she changed her lifestyle because of her responsibility as a mother.
One of the reasons why Cutrone is so admirable to me is because by the end of the night, I got a strong sense of the person she is. During the night, Cutrone talked about how, at one point of her life, she did not know who she was, and she discussed the importance of finding out who are you. Sometimes, I find myself struggling to figure out who am I, and it was encouraging to hear someone as successful as Cutrone also dealt with similar issues.
