Fashion Week Trivia
Where Have All The Models Gone?

Fashion Week is finally over! Which means it's time for Anna Wintour to stop publicly molesting Roger Federer, time for the fashion assistants to flee the W. Backstage Lounge for the sanctuary of Conde Nast headquarters and time for the hordes of bitchy outrageously thin walking clothes-hangers to fly back to the poverty-stricken South American countries from whence they came.

And while we'll sort-of miss seeing the half-starved Brazilian goddesses grimacing at the thought of squatting over the thoughtfully provided Porta-Potties, we can't help but feel somewhat relieved that our days in the tents are finally numbered.

But for those of you who are already going through PFWW (a.k.a. Preemptive Fashion Week Withdrawal) we've compiled a list of sort-of easy trivia questions to test your knowledge of this peculiar tradition that draws celebrities, editors and photographers in droves and teaches perfectly healthy women to covet unwearable clothes and hate their bodies.

Take the quiz, after the jump. Answers to follow.

1) Which always-chic women's designer once admitted that her also-famous husband refers to her as "Cabbage" in the sack?

2) One phone-throwing supermodel turned her lifelong affair with domestic violence into a catchy t-shirt slogan. Who was it, and what did it say?

3) Which chronically tardy and oft overrated designer lied about secretly having plastic surgery then explained his not-insignificant absence by saying he'd checked into rehab?

4) Which over-the-top designer banned socialites like Tinsley Mortimer from his show, in favor of less "tacky" women who "actually support his work and, you know, buy the clothes?"

5) Which elegant designer scored major points for (finally) sending home Project Runway's resident idiot, Vincent Libretty, thereby sparing us another week of his exposed chest-hair and all-too-frequent usage of the phrase, "That really turns me on?"

6) Which country was the first to ban "skinny" models from walking its runways at a top-level show?

7) Which supermodel joined forces with Karl "I Used To Be Fat" Lagerfeld in defense of skinny models, claiming "The girls are skinny. They have skinny bones."

8) Which singer-turned-designer failed to impress a certain social pariah-slash-New York Times fashion critic?

9) Which city's Fashion Week was largely eclipsed by leaked photos of a waifish supermodel snorting cocaine?

10) At last Spring's Fashion Week, we ran into only one "celebrity" in the Daily Suite. Who was it?

Answers are all on the next page.
