Cat eyes are drama enhancers. From the late Amy Winehouse to Nicole Richie, the winged look has been around the block a few times. As we all know, the basic cat eye consists of a single swoop on the top lash. But this season, we’re cranking the drama up a notch or three. We’ve found five exotic styles sure to turn some heads.

You know that distressed clinky t-shirt-cum-soft-cloud of sheer that’s been spotted everywhere? It all started with Raquel Allegra, when she found the purpose for her idle hands: seam ripping her cotton jersey tees into plush distress. When we caught up with Allegra nearly a year ago, she told us about her epic trunk show, where Nicole Richie duked it out with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for their faves. And how she outfitted Lady Gaga’s Judas video - the dance troop and Mother Monster herself. Her aesthetic has permeated, and now we peek in again at the laidback ease of Spring 2012. Though the ripped shirt may always be her staple, we’re feeling the dyed blazers for a cheerful summer.

Fashion Star‘s Nicole Richie is getting her designs into Macy’s and she didn’t even have to compete for it. Macy’s is one of the retailers that will ideally carry winning designs by contestants on that trainwreck of a reality show, but Richie bypassed the televised bidding process and her capsule collection hits Macy’s stores come mid-September.

There is no dearth of fashion reality shows on television with the pioneering Project Runway immediately coming to mind. But with nine seasons and a spin off under its belt, PJ Runway hasn’t necessarily set the fashion world ablaze. It’s doubtful NBC’s Fashion Star will be any different, but with a $6 million contract with Macy’s, Saks Fifth Ave and H&M at stake, its contestants will at least have something to show for their efforts besides an air kiss from Heidi Klum and claw marks from Nina Garcia.

We discovered a Heavy Metal Lover in Luv AJ to balance out Hussein Chalayan’s Light Metal Lover from earlier today. Luv AJ designer Amanda Thomas is 23 and utterly rocking the LA jewelry scene with fans like Nicole Richie and Kardashians, and rad girls who like bad ass bling. This heavy collection is made from sheet metal, thick chains and gritty vibes. Her lookbook, shot by Fashion Gone Rogue, shows beautiful teen angst via exasperation, torn (and beer) sweatshirts, a skateboard and cuffs that could crack a chalkboard. Give me a handful of rings, and ring the bell. Present day Pink Lady, go on, get it.

Whilst daydreaming about the wardrobes of the Fashion Week Elite, we found ourselves wondering whose closets they, in turn, covet. Style icon Iris Apfel, budding designer & Eco Domani winner Titania Inglis, and front row celeb staple Kristin Chenoweth and stunning others let us peek inside their imagination at whose wardrobe they’d go all Winona Ryder on. Who wants in on Tom Ford‘s dressing suite? Who’d take on Daphne Guinness? Take a look.

On this Mommy-Daughter day, Nicole Richie and Harlow’s relationship flourishes in florals. Momma Richie plays to baby H’s childhood innocence with pastels and a lace trim. Nicole’s general badassery, however, is marked with studded denim and thick strappy black leather. Her signature oversized sunglasses (which, by the way, she admitted to owning over 200 pairs) help her stay totally incognito… It’s all in the big leather Mom Bag.
