The CFDA’s partnered with W Hotels to create a limited edition calendar for 2009.

They’re aiming to inspire you with their twelve designer months. Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone, Sue Stemp and of course CFDA President Diane Von Furstenberg each snagged their own months. While the calendar itself resembles a sketchbook, complete with a pencil and blank pages in back, the designers picked images that move them to put on their pages instead of their own sketches.

All of proceeds from the $15 calendar go toward the CFDA and helping fledgling American designers, who could really use any help right now, and Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. You can buy it at any W Hotel or on their site.

So you have a gift, an inside look into designers’ creative process, the perfect calendar on which to schedule fashion week madness.

And, it’s all for a good cause.

We just got our invite to the Cool Vs. Cruel Awards.

And despite the fact that some think she’s “too everywhere,” we’re kind of thrilled to see both Agyness and Albert Hammond Jr.’s names under DJs. The model’s kind of dropped off the fashion radar since she got a rock star boyfriend and we’re excited to have her back in New York. Plus, they win our cutest (real-life-not-Chuck-&-Blair) couple award.

The ceremony, which recognizes animal friendly fashion design, take place at the Bowery Hotel next week. Calvin Klein, Marc Bouwer and Urban Outfitters will be honored for their “commitment to fur-free fashion.”

Urban should take that commitment one step further and sell a little bit less creepy faux-fur.

Anyway, the committee includes Charlotte Ronson, Maggie Rizer, Sue Stemp, Steven Klein and Nate Lowman. So of course we’re going, because despite that Oprah denial, MK is totes Nate’s gf.

(But, we just realized, MK wears fur. That might be awkward.)

We thought these would go really well with your latte.

If Coco, Tanya, Freja and co. are doing Rag & Bone at Cipriani uptown, and your show’s at The Norwood downtown, what do you do?

If you’re Sue Stemp, you call your socialite friends, Kate Schelter, Arden Wohl, Theodora Richards etc. to lounge around a plush retro bar while your guests sip champagne and photographers click away. And what would they wear? Flirty party dresses, sequined heels and Stemp’s signature silk-screened prints.

The girls wore strands of antique-y jewelry with colorful stones and pewter settings, (like we saw on Vogue’s Meredith Melling Burke at BCBG today) which added to the “Kaleidoscope” theme Stemp was going for.

We ran into Mickey Boardman, wearing sequins of his own, on his way out to catch Erin Fetherston; Leigh Lezark half modeled the clothes and half chatted with friends; Sarah Sophie Flicker wore a silver sequined starfish on her head (that we actually loved), and Hamish Bowles swept through with a smile and a wave.

So many party dresses! So little time!

The irony is that Saturday is usually the slow night. It’s the time you see Pan’s Labyrinth with your friends; when you eat too much pizza with a crush on the couch; when you fall asleep at 9 pm and don’t care.

On the Saturday of Fashion Week, though, you cared.

You cared a lot if you were at Hiro for the Rock & Republic After Party, where Lady Sovereign held up a plastic cup and giggled, “I’ve got a new cocktail; it’s called Mountain Dew and Rum.” Then she hurled it into the audience.

If you were at MisShapes, you cared about your hair, your eyeliner, and your fashion posse: top models Agyness Dean and Ikeleine Stange, designer Alexander Herchkovitch, petite socialite Isabelle McNally, and a horde of other kids in Jeremy Scott everything.

You cared if you were grooving with Charlotte, Samantha, and Marc Ronson at Marquee; if you were having an Edie moment with Sue Stemp at the Tribeca Grand; if you were “hiding” like Kirsten Dunst at Beatrice; if you were dancing with Ruffian and the Olsen Twins at 205. And you cared if you were at Lily Donaldson’s birthday party at the Gramercy - though you probably cared more if you were stuck outside waiting in the cold.
