The Vogue-hosted event will celebrate the opening of "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" at the Met and we hear the hostesses--namely, Vogue editors, will be paying a little tribute to one of the exhibition's subjects by following a strict dress code: they all have to wear pink.

New York Fashion Week Crib Sheet: The 10 Most Well-Reviewed Shows According to Everyone Who Matters
After 300-plus shows, it's no wonder we're still reeling. But while the calendar may have been jam-packed, there are only a few collections that really make headlines--which is why we've compiled the ultimate crib sheet of the season's most important shows and what all the major critics had to say about them. We've poured through every review (we mean that literally) for qualifying adjectives and other bon mots from The New York Times' Cathy Horyn, Eric Wilson, and the International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes; Style.com's Nicole Phelps and Meenal Mistry; Vogue.com's Sarah Mower, Hamish Bowles, and Mark Holgate; Samantha Critchell for the Associated Press; Lynn Yaeger for New York, and a host of other friends and bloggers. The result is a comprehensive guide to the season's most well-reviewed shows--from Jason Wu to Marc Jacobs. Which designers came out on top? Flash back with us now. You don't have to take our word for it.

Thakoon Fall 2012: At the Plaza, Too Hot for Eloise
Even before the show started, you had a sense things were going to get steamy at Thakoon. The ornate ballroom at the Plaza where the show was set was bathed in red light, adding a little naughtiness to the posh locale. The collection was not overtly sexy. In fact, the silhouettes were a bit oversized and exaggerated at the hips with paper bag waists that weren't exactly figure flattering (especially when paired with cropped Mongolian fur sweaters--if models can't pull this look off what hope do the rest of us have?). The wasp-waisted silhouettes were easier to get behind. But the rich saturated color palate was all reds and magentas and fuchsia--just in time for Valentine's day
The Best of Pre-Fall 2012
While spring and fall seasons may give us more to to ooh and ahh over, pre-collections often present more of what we actually want to wear. It makes sense, since everyone says the in-between seasons are the most important for retailers. And these designers have succeeded in making things we already want to buy, desperately. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until early summer ("pre-fall" is a bit misnomer) to do so. Click through for what we feel were the 10 most drool-worthy collections so far.
