Lauren Conrad: I'm Afraid Of Fashion Failure

Lauren Conrad admits that she is always afraid of failure and there's been many, many times where she questions herself about the clothing line she's putting out.

Lauren has a right to be because of bad publicity her first Lauren Conrad Collection received for bad designs and overpricing.

Lauren attributes this to the fact that she did not always have control over the collection because someone else was financing it.

Lauren learned real quick that if you're not the boss, you always have to meet in the middle.

The end result was New York Times called her first collection sub-Old Navy.

So now, Lauren Conrad has invested a large amount of her own capital just to have full creative control and ensure that her new collection is of higher quality and success.

With this, Lauren is designing very chic, clean pieces that have good fit and good fabrics sold at upscale boutiques ranging from $90 to $390.

Lauren hopes Paper Crown will see revenue in about a year after its' release.

Lauren Conrad Departs From LAX Airport

Gearing up to re-enter the spotlight ahead of her new reality show's debut, Lauren Conrad was spotted readying for an outbound flight from LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 9).

Still rocking her darker hairdo, the former "Hills" hottie passed through the metro airport's security checkpoint before trekking through the terminal and onto an awaiting aircraft set for departure.

Aside from her television efforts, Miss Conrad is also making final preparations for the release of her upcoming Paper Crown collection due to launch this Fall.

And while she's made it clear that she'd rather focus on fashion and writing than TV, her agent Max Stubblefield explained that the show is necessary to help keep her buyer base intact and growing.

Of the decision to return to MTV, Stubblefield said, "Lauren's new businesses will feed on the show—which will feed on the new businesses"
