Will you carry around your CFDA award to all the after-parties? “We dropped it off at the hotel. We didn’t want to lose it. And it’s so heavy! If we carried it around all night, we wouldn’t be able to lift our arms tomorrow.” —Laura Mulleavy, with Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte
—Bradley Cooper & Italo Zucchelli
Whom are you excited to tell about your win for womenswear? “My friends don’t work in fashion. Some of them know what I do, but a lot of the ones I went to school with didn’t even know about this awards show tonight. So now I can actually tell them.” —Alexander Wang
—Ralph Lauren
—Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCullough of Proenza Schouler, with Daphne Guinness
Congrats on your win for menswear. What will you do with your award? “Arm curls! No. I always had a weird thing. This is my third time being nominated. I didn’t expect to win.” —Tim Hamilton
—Anna Sui
—Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders
Congrats on your win for accessory design. How will you celebrate? “I’m not a big drinker. I’ve always missed out on that in this industry. I will grab a couple of my friends and go party-hopping. After almost eight months of being depressed in this industry, it’s nice to go out and have a night to celebrate.” —Justin Giunta
—Claire Danes & Narciso Rodriguez
—Ashley Olsen
What item should people avoid in the summer? “I wasn’t prepared for such a hard question. I’m not into fashion right now.” How is that possible? “I didn’t say that! Erase, erase, erase! I’m designing for spring 2010. We’re always two seasons ahead in our thought process. I didn’t even know it was summer.” —Donna Karan
—Heidi Klum
—Albertus Swanepoel
The editor of British Vogue said clothes are made too small. Do you agree? “I choose to show clothes on girls that I think look great, and it’s not a question of how skinny they are. Somebody is always going to be a little bit upset with my choices, perhaps, but that’s the way it is.” —Marc Jacobs
—Vera Wang
—Michael Kors
You’re taking all of your own pictures tonight. Do you put them on Facebook? “I do, but I also have my website and I e-mail to friends. It makes me feel less of a fool.” —Diane Von Furstenberg
—Anna Wintour
—Richard Chai
What’s the funniest thing about fashion? “Men’s fashion. There’s always some poor bastard who has to wear the skirt at the end of the show.” —Tracy Ullman
—Thakoon Panichgul
—Esteban Cortazar
Are you into fashion? “I’m not. I just came from the show. I’m still wearing makeup, which isn’t usually my thing. Now I just look greasy.” —Jimmy Fallon
—Julia Restoin-Roitfeld
—Kerry Washington & Doo-Ri Chung
Is pink your favorite color? “Normally I don’t like to wear pink, but this is really cool. It’s a rougher, edgier pink. And pairing it with black Lorraine Schwartz jewels made it a little rough.” —Blake Lively
—Phillip Lim
—Vivienne Tam & Emmanuelle Chriqui
You came with the Rodarte designers tonight. How did you react when they won? “I cried, of course! A little bit—I was worried I’d have black streaks all over my face.” —Kirsten Dunst
—Nadja Swarovski
—Yigal Azrouël & Behati Prinsloo
What's the worst summer-fashion faux pas? “If you’re not a size 0, please don’t expose your belly. I’m a size 2 and I would not.” —Diane Kruger, with Jason Wu
—Edward Nardoza
—Jim Moore
Why do you think the threesome featured in a Calvin Klein Jeans billboard in Soho is scandalizing tourists? “I think it’s great for the tourists. They see that and walk right into our store. I think tourists have great sensibility. That’s why they’re tourists. They’re voyeurs.” —Francisco Costa, Calvin Klein womenswear designer
—Betsey Johnson
—Peter Som
Have you heard about naked people having sex in the windows of the Standard? “If you look on the Internet, it seems pretty obvious that a lot of people like to look at naked people fucking. I was on Perez Hilton all day.” —Zac Posen
—Rachel Zoe
—Hana Soukupova
What’s your least favorite summer fashion? “I’m still not sure what men should be wearing on their feet in summer. For a while they wore sandals that were like hiking sandals. Why would you wear them in the city? That’s the mystery.” —Bernadette Peters
—Zoe Saldana
—Coco Rocha
You and Tracy Ullman were talking for an hour. Are you doing a movie together? “No, we mostly talked about how much our feet hurt. We took our shoes off and walked around Lincoln Center barefoot for a while.” —Mamie Gummer
—Agyness Deyn
—Hilary Rhoda
Do you believe in the trend of not wearing pants? “I think only Lady Gaga can pull it off. I always wear pants.” —Michelle Trachtenberg
