What the “Real Housewives” are really spending on fashion
The fashion of the “Real Housewives” series has quickly become its own character.  Brian Moylan writes about the styling process for each housewife, explaining that there is no borrowing of clothes. Leslie Christen, an Orange County-based stylist who formerly worked with a housewife says that certain brands don’t want their names attached to the show, leaving the women to spend out of pocket if they want to wear something specific. “This is going to sound so weird, but what to wear is the hardest part for me on the show,” Beverly Hills cast member Crystal Kung Minkoff tells Moylan. In Minkoff’s first season, she spent tens of thousands of dollars on her closet, cutting into the $60,000 salary she received as a first-year cast member. {Town & Country}
