Mun2 falls under the NBC Universal umbrella and it’s a very, very cool idea and network in that it really embraces all cultures. It’s geared towards the bicultural young person here in the States where they have parents from either the Caribbean, or Mexico, or South America of Latin decent, but don’t necessarily listen to Latin or Spanish music, but they embrace it and want to stay in touch with it because it’s what they grew up with. I really do see the network growing into something really fantastic.

The mun2 Look it was born from watching the channel. My publicist and I have been attending Fashion Week here in New York for five years now. At first, I found fashion very unapproachable. It was just something that I had remembered from the supermodels like Cindy Crawford, or Dolce Gabbana, or Karl Lagerfeld. It was very high end and something that only millionaires could really understand and enjoy. But I always admired the artistry of it. There’s this other part that is being enjoyed by young cool bicultural people where they’re taking inspiration from this very high end expensive fashion, and making it their own, and mixing it with their own culture and mixing it with the street.

One day I was like, “Well, wouldn’t it be cool if we were able to do a show about fashion where we could shoot it here in New York, and sort of bring the inside of it and bring the secrets out to people who don’t normally get exposed to what we get exposed to because we’re on this particular guest list or because I’m on this particular TV show, they invite me to these events, but the regular girl next door who just shopping at the Gap or whatever, she doesn’t really get to see that.  Maybe could – I don’t know, invent something; invent a show.”

The executive producers at Mun2 were really creative and open. They kind of dug me and said, “Yeah, okay.  Let’s do it.”

Here’s a promo of the show:
