In the midst of this week’s shows there are some truly interesting conversations going on at Milk Studios. I’ve been fortunate enough to sit in on two of them. Thursday night, it was the Proenza Schouler talk at the IFB conference. Design duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez sat down with the Business of Fashion‘s Imran Amed to discuss The Web.

| Peter Som Fall 2011: Uptown Girl…With a Twist Posted: 11 Feb 2011 05:36 PM PST
Peter Som‘s imaginary muse is undeniably a wealthy, uptown lady. But unlike her St. John-suit-wearing lunch companion, she prefers a messy bouffant, purple lipstick, and a pair of lime green kitten heels. Oh, and she listens to Erasure. We like Peter Som’s girl. Mostly because she’s a character. A character we’d be inclined to switch places with for a day. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

–Derek Blasberg accompanied this tweetpic with this tweet: “The only things to know about our baby shower for @TheLSD: seven months pregnant she’s still sample size, and THIS [link to creepy cake with baby doll].” That is all.

| Katie Ermilio, Misha Nonoo, and Nahm Fall 2011: Girls, Three Different Ways Posted: 11 Feb 2011 05:06 PM PST
In the world of fashion, there is a definitely distinction between designers who design for girls, and designers who design for women. In real life, women obviously wear clothes designed for “girls” and vice versa. Yet for some reason when you see a collection, you know if the designer had a girl in mind or a woman. And it doesn’t necessarily have to do with age or price point, but rather an attitude. Francisco Costa, for example, designs for a woman. Anna Sui, a girl. Narciso Rodriguez, a woman. Proenza Schouler, a girl. It’s all about whether or not your garments evoke youth, regardless of who is wearing them. Despite their differences, the collections of Katie Ermilio, Misha Nonoo, and Nahm all fall into the girl category for us. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Alexander Wang is GQ‘s Best New Menswear Designer in America Posted: 11 Feb 2011 04:08 PM PST
On Thursday night, The Ace Hotel got to feel cool when GQ took it over for a party celebrating the nominees of their fourth annual Best New Menswear Designer, which they award in conjuction with the CFDA. The nominees included Kirk Miller (of Miller's Oath), Patrick Ervell, Riviera Club's Derek Buse, Joe Sadler and Greg Ullery, Alex Wang for T, Michael Bastian for Gant, and Rick Klotz, the mad genius behind Warriors of Radness. Alexander Wang was announced the winner this afternoon. He was chosen by a panel that includes Tommy Hilfiger, GQ editor-in-chief Jim Nelson, creative director Jim Moore, and others, and will receive $50,000 and a contract to collaborate with Dockers (last year it was Levi’s, a match made in heaven for Billy Reid, who took home the prize).

| Jason Wu Fall 2011: Baroque Sportswear Posted: 11 Feb 2011 03:53 PM PST
"Delicate" and "exquisite" are two adjectives that often find themselves in the same sentence as "Jason Wu's designs." Let's add "opulent" to describe his A/W 2011 collection, which featured no less than 15 different kinds of lace, gilding, Swarovski crystals, and models with gold leaf painted onto their hair.

Turns out Lindsay Lohan can move product–just not her own. When Lohan showed up to court (again) this past Wednesday, this time to plead not guilty to grand theft charges that she stole a $2,500 necklace, she did so in a Kimberly Ovitz skin-tight white mini dress. We never thought we’d be comparing Lindsay Lohan to Michelle Obama, but just as Mrs. O has proven she can move merch (at J.Crew or White House Black Market or H&M), the Kimberly Ovitz “Glavis Albino” dress Lohan wore, which retails for $575, is selling like hot cakes (and is sold out most places). According to ABC News, the dress has sold out everywhere online, and the NY Post is reporting that Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus have sold out as well. And despite a release we just got from Starworks’ VIP placement trumpeting Amy Adams wearing Kimberly Ovitz, an Ovitz rep told the Post that “Kimberly had no role in Lindsay Lohan wearing the dress.” Starworks told us Amy Adams was their first placement for Ovitz. Despite the insta-success Lohan has brought Ovitz, she doesn’t seem to have had the same effect with her own line of leggings and apparel. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Luca Luca Fall 2011: Not All Who Wander Are Lost Posted: 11 Feb 2011 01:19 PM PST
A trip to Sydney inspired his spring show, but for fall, the idea of a trip was enough to spark Raul Melgoza's creativity—no frequent flier miles or Airborne needed. Luca Luca's creative director envisioned a woman bounding through the woods, shedding layers, and switching fabrics as she went. A muse in motion robbed the collection of an anchored, singular station, and yes, the result was a bit cohesion challenged. But while Melgoza's looks jumped from rock to rock instead of gliding in subtle gradients, two firm roots tethered the journey: accentuated waistlines and saturated colors.

| Rachel Comey Fall 2011: Parisian Schoolmarm Posted: 11 Feb 2011 11:42 AM PST
Rachel Comey might be a New York-based indie designer, but her schoolmarm look is decided European. Whether it’s because of the limited-quantity fabrics she uses, or the odd-yet-refined silhouettes she prefers, Comey’s collection sits more comfortably alongside Vanessa Bruno and Isabel Marant than it does her American peers. This theory rang true at yesterday’s runway show, where Comey showed matchy-matchy tops and bottoms, matchy-matchy bottoms and shoes, and baby-bell high water pants that are sure to set the tone for autumn. We were particularly drawn to her brownish rose corduroy swing skirt cut on a bias, matched with a corduroy blazer. Even Comey’s version of the Catholic school girl uniform comes off as more “teacher” than “student.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Ruffian Fall 2011: Tuxedo Park Posted: 11 Feb 2011 10:42 AM PST
This morning’s Ruffian show started off with a sartorial bang as Siri Tollerod, clad in a slick patent leather blazer and skintight satin pants, stepped out to a pulsating disco-like beat. There’s no question that designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais know their way around a Victorian-style suit, so it was a smart decision to show a collection heavy on jackets and trousers. But as for the heavy dose of patent that permeated the line, we weren’t so sure about the overall effect. Megawatt shine can work well in small amounts–covering a coat’s lapel or trimming a pocket, say–but skinny pants cut from the plastick-y material fell flat here. We did love the slouchy, cuffed, cropped trousers shown with several looks, however, and there were some lovely double-breasted coats, neat jackets, and tulip skirts in a “Prince of Wales” houndstooth.

| Lily Aldridge’s Tips and Tricks for a ‘Very Sexy’ V-Day Posted: 11 Feb 2011 10:27 AM PST
Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill is even luckier than we thought. We caught up with his gorgeous girlfriend, model Lily Aldridge, after her Victoria's Secret Valentines Day appearance at Herald Square this week. With that in mind, it's only right that we picked this flawless beauty's brain about how to get our sexy back again (or for the first time ever).
