OK! Exclusive: RHONY's LuAnn De Lesseps Talks Getting Personal, Resident Magazine Cover And Clothing Line

Jan. 27 2015, Updated 4:50 p.m. ET
LuAnn de Lesseps has always kept certain aspects of her personal life private – such as her divorce from her ex-husband – to avoid having the cameras “hurt other people.”
But the Real Housewives of New York star told OKMagazine.com that fans could expect her to be more open about her personal life and latest business ventures when season seven airs.
“I’m really forthcoming with what’s going on in my life,”de Lesseps told OK! at her Resident magazine cover launch. “It’s very exciting and it’s been seven seasons and I have really not come up with a business for myself. I was married to a French aristocrat and I had my house and my children, so it was really about that. Viewers are now going to get to see me being a business woman.”
One of her ventures includes appearing on the cover of Resident magazine’s January issue.
“I’m thrilled and honored to be on the cover,” she explained. “Resident is an important magazine. I love how they say that I define class. That makes me happy!”
The Countess is also launching her newest capsule collection, The Countess Collection: Cruise 2015.

“It’s a cruise collection so it’s really about travel,” the reality star shared. “It’s about being able to go from day to night. It’s very transitional, very easy to wear. It’s very chic made easy and affordable.”
