Kelly Cutrone Coaches Whitney on The City

Monday June 21, 2010 01:00 AM EDT

Kelly Cutrone is doing what she does best by giving protégé Whitney Port some frank advice on her fashion line.

While setting up for a trade show, Cutrone advises Whitney to stick to her guns when it comes to pushy buyers, who will make requests for clothes in different colors and at lower prices.

"You're going to be sitting there going, 'I want to do this. I want to do this,' and before you know it they've redesigned your line, they've gouged your prices," Cutrone says. "And so you have to be able to learn the word 'no.' "

Whitney looks overwhelmed when Cutrone tells her to be sure to have buyers pay 50 percent up front to avoid a deal gone bad and having her clothes on the racks at discount stores like Century 21 or T.J. Maxx. Despite all the warnings, "I think you're going to do great," Cutrone says

The City airs Tuesday (10:30 p.m. EST) on MTV.
