The scene at the Band of Outsiders Spring 2010 presentation was a soggy one as guests were forced to line up in the rain for entry to Milk Studios. Inside, they were greeted by nautical looks from designer Scott Sternberg inspired by a late-‘70s Malibu beach girl. “I’m a huge fan of all his stuff,” said Kirsten Dunst (in Band of Outsiders). “I loved all the looks today and I want them all! I love his flavor. He just has great tailoring.”

Last minute mayhem hit backstage at the Promenade before Vivienne Tam’s runway show. “The day was crazy! The shoes just arrived yesterday. Some of the samples didn’t arrive because of customs problems. A model didn’t show up. We almost had to cut two looks,” said designer Tam, who took the shoes off of her feet to give to a model to walk. The snafus weren’t apparent from the front of the house. Jessica Stroup, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Estelle (not pictured) sat side by side in the front row to view flowing pastel pieces inspired by the classic Chinese love story concerto "Butterfly Lovers.”
