Now I should have known Ed Westwick would be at Tommy Hilfiger’s show as the two are friends. But alas, it didn’t click and I was too busy eating delicious food at Recette, review coming on Monday). But he was there and I was not.

My intern however was, and she neglected to tell him how much I adore him. Thanks Thelma! And wait is he sitting next to who I think he’s sitting next to? Oh say it ain’t so?!?!?

There’s something about the way Perry Ellis was styled at the show. Normally I pass it in stores and don’t think twice, but after the show I wanted every design that came down the runway. Normally I don’t pay much attention to the clothing, but this stuff was actually good. I wanted EVERYTHING (except the horizontal striped sweater)! And congratulations to whomever did model casting on successfully picking nearly 25 identical models. Everybody needs a Perry Ellis boy to bring home to meet the parents.

My fashion week appearances were limited this year, but one show I did get to check out was Tadashi Shoji. The show was very plain, but I’m okay with that. No bells or whistles here, just nice short dresses for the ladies. They’re perfect for a hot night out on the town when you’re trying to pick up old men with money; very “Vegas Chic.” The dresses weren’t even too short, or too slutty; just well-made eye-catching designs. The only problem is, everyone may think you’re wearing BeBe or Cache when, in fact, it’s much nicer than that.

I had never heard of Loris Diran until I received the invite for the show, but was all about covering emerging designers. Loris Diran premiered his collect at the Bowery Hotel and I must say, the Bowery Hotel is a great space for a fashion show. I was so dead from my first night of Fashion Week, that I barely made it to the 12PM show, and thankfully I did because this was one of the best collections I saw all week!

C. Marchuska is an eco-friendly clothing line by Christine Marchuska and Brooke Bresnan. Their Fall/Winter collection was debuted last night at Village Green in the East Village and I loved it! The models strutted their stuff to the beat of DJ Chopps in chic, sustainable and affordable clothing.

Oh Justin Timberlake, what can I say? You sing, you dance, you design, oh and your party was filled with HOTTIES! Last night, the William Rastafter-party went down at Hudson Terrace. There were live performances, SONY tech porn and some very cute actors!

Spotted in the crowd were Ryan Phillipe, Kellan Lutz, Jared Eng, Tinsley Mortimer, Constantine Maroulis, Abby Elliott (from SNL), Kerry Rhodes, Jesse Palmer, Russell Simmons and Justin Timberlake himself.

Although Good Units is not in the middle of party central, it is a great space for an all out rave. Located in the basement of the Hudson Hotel, it was packed for Jeremy Scott’s after-party. Kelly Cutrone and the rest of the People’s Revolution staff took it up a notch with The Misshapes, Santigold, a vogue dance troupe, oh and I’m sorry a BEN ‘N JERRY’S ICE CREAM CART.
