Adam Lippes said he and his staff look to street-style blogs and stylish kids walking around town for inspiration. "It's not only about pedestrian style — it's how they put themselves together without a production," Lippes said at Allison Sarofim's Halloween House Party on Saturday. "The kids in my office don't like the big production, you know?" Lippes said he has twenty interns in his office, and they turn over very fast. They probably don't usually inspire him, however. "[I]t's rare to find an intern — especially one from a fashion school — that has good style. Because they try sooo hard, and it never works! You know?"

Kira Plastinina opted for a rather laid-back look at the opening of the Diane Von Furstenberg exhibit in Moscow this weekend. Other guests, including Kate Bosworth, DVF, and Naomi Campbell, all wore cocktail dresses.

Do you prefer to wear T-shirts at fancy occasions, or is that too casual?

Ridley Scott is working on a movie to begin filming next year about the downfall of the Gucci family dynasty. However, the Gucci family is freaking out over how scandalous the film could be. Angelina Jolie is in talks to play Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio Gucci's ex-wife, who's currently serving a 26-year sentence for plotting his 1995 murder. So it's a pretty scandalous plot, and one wouldn't cast Angelina without expecting her to take on the role with the zeal of a bloodthirsty vampire.

It's hard to imagine Christian Siriano's dark side on a normal day, and especially so when he's dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid on Halloween. But that's the direction he's taking for his next fall line — the fabric just came in! "It’s very dark — that’s the only thing we’re going with right now," he said at the "Heroes vs. Villains" party at Rose Bar on Saturday. "It’s very gothic, kind of like a swamp, but we wanted it to be really feminine."

Siriano is also busy with his still untitled spinoff reality show for Bravo, which will follow the creation of his spring 2010 and fall 2010 lines from start to finish. “It’s very like The September Issue, very Valentino [The Last Emperor]. We want it to be as cool and as real as possible.” The September Issue director R.J. Cutler has apparently advised Siriano “just to be real." Siriano continued, "I think it’s best to be as normal as possible and, luckily, I just happen to be entertaining already.” He said the show would be "really documentary-style" and involve him talking to the camera frequently. "It’s going to be really serious, like not so campy. There are a lot of moments that are just silent and like working and like really how serious the business is, because it’s really hard, it really is.” Does he worry people don’t take him seriously? “I think they do to a point, but it’s hard, you know, there are so many designers and you really have to prove yourself, so I think it takes time.”

Estée Lauder Group president John Demsey says that even when New York Fashion Week decamps for Lincoln Center next September, the M.A.C.-sponsored satellite location will remain at Milk Studios. “We’re committed to Milk for the next two years,” Demsey told us on Friday at Bette Midler’s Hulaween Ball. He says that M.A.C. will also be at Lincoln Center — but backstage, not as a sponsor. Demsey was mum on new developments at Milk for the upcoming February Fashion Week. “Halloween is New Year’s Eve for us, so we’re going to make it through Halloween, then we’ll get back to it,” he said after buying some trees for Midler’s New York Restoration Project.
