Kors, at the age of 50, is the youngest designer to ever take home such a prestigious award. His fabulous designs, which are categorized with designs from Donna Karen, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein collections, have helped configure American Sportswear as we knew it into what it is today- a major driver in fashion.

This talented designer is no stranger to winning awards for his role in fashion. Back in 1999 he won the Womanswear Designer of the Year, which was quickly followed by another award in 2003 for Menswear. Just last week on the 10^th Kors was just inducted into the FiFi Hall of Fame. The month of June is shaping up pretty nicely for Mr. Kors.

With an outstanding design philosophy like “make people feel confident and comfortable; help women feel beautiful” there will only be more great things to expect from this accomplished designer.

Since bursting onto the scene in the Fall of 2005, Tami has interviewed major celebrities like Usher, Fergie and Sean Combs and has covered major events like The Grammys and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. She also has appeared on Real Housewives of Atlanta, and, a charming episode of Deserving Design, where she and her husband were treated with a much deserved, surprise wedding reception. All this and the girl still has time to be a dedicated wife and mother to two beautiful children. Impressive!

A vision in any outfit, Tami arrived at the Betsey Johnson event in Atlanta looking amazing in a spaghetti strapped, floral print dress that loyal fans know she bought during a recent shopping trip to the Lenox Mall. Betsey Johnson is Tami’s favorite designer and she is not at all shy about it, “Everyone who knows me, know I love me some Betsey Johnson.” Tami, we couldn’t agree more!

Creative Director and Senior Vice President of Estée Lauder, Aerin Lauder said that Liu Win and French model, Constance Jablonski are “…the beauties of our time. Both models have quickly captured the attention of the fashion and beauty world.”

Liu Wen, a Beijing native, got her first fashion break appearing in issues of Chinese Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She has recently been seen on the runways of Michael Kors, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo and Rodarte during the Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Season and on the covers of Chinese, French and Japanese Vogue.

Estée Lauder is the corporation that owns M.A.C., Clinique, Perscriptives, Origins and Aveda to name a few of the cosmetic giant’s famous brands. Liu follows in the footsteps of other famous and classic beauties like Gwyneth Paltrow , Liz Hurley and Liya Kebede.

Natalie Massanet, the founder of Net-a-Porter will stay on as the Executive Chairman and says, “Richemont has completely embraced our vision and strategy since they came on board as a shareholder and together we are going to continue to build the 21^st Century model for luxury fashion retailing.”

Richemont’s offer is set to become unconditional on April, 1 2010 and it is anticipated that it will be approved by Net-a-Porter’s shareholders.

Cutrone calls her reality tv show, Kell on Earth a “girl power show” that highlights brazen business women as they conquer the world while also allowing viewers to follow her life away from the “Priestess Temple” that is People’s Revolution. Behind her hard veneer is a woman who, shockingly, lives in a pink and white house and appears to be a jovial person with a heart of gold.

The other side of Kelly Cutrone is an unexpected and interesting one. We meet a woman who loves to cook “psychic recipes”, which consist of going to the market and asking the food what it wants to become, and someone who includes driving to her home town, Syracuse, with an all black clad entourage, for a trip to her favorite ice rink, on her list of favorite things. At home, Cutrone is in her most important role as mother to adorable, seven year old daughter Ava, and, as she fondly puts it, interracial wife to Ava’s nanny.

With so many insipid reality tv stars stinking up the atmosphere, the introduction of a trend setter and a fashion powerhouse to the fray is a breath of fresh air.

Bright colored dresses

As far as the bright colored dresses go, our personal fav is Sarah Jessica Parker – which kind of surprised us. Her pink cocktail minidress is the most youthful and fun look, despite SJP being the oldest celeb in the picture.

Metallic evening gowns

Among the more glamorous looks, we have a spread of metallic evening gowns. We’ll eliminate Robin Wright immediately (she looks for forlorn), but both Vanessa Hudgens and Zoe Saldana look absolutely faboulous in bodacious bodyhuggers.

Sparkling minidresses

Next up is an array of sparkling minidresses. In our opinion, neither Diane Kruger nor Taylor Swift have enough curves to pull off their respective looks. Our winner in this set is Fergie all the way.
