Show: Runway, Pier 94.

Look: Punks with enough manners to button up a waistcoat before heading to a concert.

Stylist: Natasha Royt.

DJ: Jeffrey Tonnesen.

Swag: Fredric Fekkai hair products, Kiehl's lotions.

Thoughts: While the designers talked backstage about "Control," the film about the Brit band Joy Division, we eyed the studded belts and racks of zippered pants and washed leather jackets. But it wasn't all rough dishevlement. The crisp cuffs made their way to our pants the next day.

Show: Presentation, Milk.

Look: Modern fabrics and old-
world details merge in an athletic take on Frank Stella's stripes.

Stylist: Brian Molloy.

DJ: LCD Sound system.

Cocktail: Gin & tonics.

Thoughts: "It's a move forward but a continuation of what does well for me," Hamilton told us. Indeed. There was a healthy tension between the classic Americanism he established himself with and a more sleek European look. Executed flawlessly, we want no less than six pieces from the collection.
