Color Palette: Grows from neutrals of brown, olive and tan to the brightest orange/pink combo we’ve seen in years.

Mood: It’s New York artist goes to Hawaii, revisits 90′s roots.

Statement Pieces: The hat. The HAT! This twist of genius is what would happen if you took a floppy sun hat and chopped it into a baseball cap.

Front Row: Johnny Weir in hot orange bell bottoms – a lady’s runway sample, thank you. And Thomas Jane, HBO’s well Hung man. Mickey Boardman of Paper and Steven Kolb, CFDA CEO also took seat front and center.

Gossip: Steven Kolb nearly opted out of the show, lamenting the late Sunday night timing. But seeing as he was still there at Lincoln Center nearing 9PM, he stuck it out for the CFDA’s newest incubatee.

Runway Music: After a night of marathon ping-ponging with The Strokes’ bassist and his wife, Timo Weiland and (design partner) Alan Eckstein organically grew to collaborate together. Strokes man Nikolai Fraiture arranged the music for the show. Behold the set list:

Girls Names — “Lawrence”
Rolling Stones — “Monkey Man”
La Femme — “Sur La Planche”
Panda Bear — “Last Night at The Jetty”
Dirty Beaches — “Sweet 17″
Suicide – -”Ghost Rider”
Broken Social Scene — “Pacific Theme”
Arthur Russell — “See Through”
Talk Talk — “New Grass”
Happy Mondays — “Loose Fit”

As a total 90′s kid growing up listening to No Doubt and watching Gwen’s hair change with her every mood was pure awesomness,  we all know we loved her “kicking down doors” attitude and 20′s housewife inspired hair twists.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND- Total prepsters, how could they not be after all they did attend Columbia University. Button ups, cardigans, oxfords, scruff, and scarves.

THE STROKES- Only the best thing to ever hit your cute little ears! Last Night, Is This it, Someday, just makes you want to party your youth away. These guys are somewhat on the grungy side, and probably the only guys to make jean jackets look as good as they do on a male.

FRANZ FERDINAND-  Oxfords, blazzer jackets, ties, and button up shirts, some what British looking?… how would you not want one of these boys by your side.

THE CURE- Maybe their style is a bit on the scary side, but just like their sweet tunes, I dig the all black, serious stares, huge Doc Marten looking boots, and messy hair.

If you heard it from the twitter hype already, well too bad because Fashionindie always states it better, the  25th anniversary celebration called for a beyond exclusive bash with a rumored 1,200 plus guests at none other than The Metropolitan Opera House right across from all the fashion week chaos in Lincoln Center. Everything amazing consisted of a red carpet entrance, to a huge multi colored changing “TH” monument right out front to what seemed like hundreds of seductive young hotties or you can say models which ever you prefer, dressed from head to toe in Tommy Hilfiger of course, but what really took the prize was the live performance by the one and only Strokes. Albert Hammond Jr. Julian Casablancas, and the rest of the guys in the band right up front and center. In my opinion I think people looked forward to singing along with the classics like Last Night, Some Day, Reptilia, etc with the band more than celebrating the 25 years of preppster lovin’ .

Aggy is just a heart breaker! Just weeks after their split, Albert Hammond Jr. (guitar player for the strokes and formerly Miss Deyn’s other half) has been checked into rehab. Seems like he didn’t take the break up too well. Meanwhile, Agyness has new hair color and is carrying on like nothing happened. I knew I secretly loved her! Stone cold just the way I like ‘em! I’m sure this is a result of Albert realizing he just lost the only thing keeping him in any way relevant.
