Fashion designer Koi Suwannagate first came to my attention when she collaborated with Phillip Lim for his Spring 2007 collection (remember those rosette dresses that were sold out everywhere?). Also in 2007, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Vogue chose the designer as a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award. Born in Bangkok and now designing out of Los Angeles, Koi is known for her romantic designs and signature draped cashmere pieces. It's easy to see why Kirsten Dunst, Oprah Winfrey and Christina Ricci have all worn pieces by Koi! We got a chance to talk to Koi, amidst her busy schedule, about who her favorite designers are and what we can expect from her next! Read on to see the interview and check out the slideshow to see her favorite pieces from her Spring collection, as well as a few beautiful looks that you can purchase from her online store.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were falling over themselves to compliment Giorgio Armani on his design of Katie's bright red gown at last night's Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala. "I love it!" Katie gushed to Stylehive on the event's red carpet. "It's so beautiful," agreed her squinty-eyed, slightly shorter hubby. And Katie's was just the first of many stunning - and sometimes stupefying! - gowns at the ultimate of ultimate fashion parties. Chaired by Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Anna Wintour, the fashion fete didn't come cheap. Tables for the dinner were sold out at $75,000 to $250,000 each! Check out our SLIDESHOW to see what the celebs wore to the dinner that costs as much as a house (well, maybe a weekend cottage) - and what they told Stylehive about their fashion choices!
