“Decarnin’s obviously a designer for rich girls..” – WWD, on Balmain.

– Why she changed her middle name from “Morgan” to “Dee”

–What exactly happens in luxury rehab

–When she went from being an extraordinarily good actress to an extraordinarily bad tabloid fixture

–Where she’ll be during Fashion Week.

That last question will soon be answered, though, as we hear that Ms. Lohan will indeed lend her otherworldly presence to the Tents this season. Among the shows you should scope: Marc Jacobs, Charlotte Ronson, and Jill Stuart – after all, the girl did star in their most recent ad campaign.

But will she be disappointed if the photogs go for Kirsten instead?

The move may reflect the shut-down of the Golden Globes and possibly the Oscars, which make other red carpets more valuable to both designers and stars.

It may also be part of a strategy to land the part of Vivienne Westwood, a role still up-for-grabs in a future biopic that’s been lightly associated with the young actress.

We don’t know much more, but if we were betting girls, we’d say Kirsten will show up at Marc (or at least at Marc’s after-party, which she did last year) and also Rodarte, since she looked so amazing in their gown at the Spiderman premiere last year.

The designer will stage her own Fashion Week show, off-site in Manhattan.

Though this isn’t the first time Elisa’s presented her clothes during Fashion Week, this time the stakes are a little different, and accordingly, the audience will be too:

Now that she’s a beloved (albeit bewildering) reality TV star, Ms. Jimenez will get more attention from potential Fashion Week investors, and we know for a fact that more magazine editors have RSVPd for her runway.

What they’ll actually see on it…

Well, we’ll be able to report that next week, but we’re sure it’ll be gleeful and probably a little bit awful, too. Awww…

The Brooklyn darlings Vena Cava will miss this season of Fashion Week due to their recent windfall of success – with so many new orders and accounts, the team thought it best to catch their breath and sit out the season until September.

Of course we’re sad we won’t attend a February presentation by the princesses of cool, but it’s great for them to be getting so much exposure and business, and eventually great for us:

The more clothes they make, the more clothes we can buy, and wear, and get massive compliments, and meet boys, and…

Oh Vena Cava, how we love you!

Come back soon.

If you don’t work at a huge glossy, you have to request the ticket, request it again, request that someone actually look at your request, rsvp, etc. Peter Som feels your pain, and so he’s going to make it a little easier for you (but at a price, of course.)

American Express is sponsoring an encore act to Som’s show, open to Amex card holders, on Wednesday, February 6 at 9pm. But you have to cough up $150 for a seat.

All proceeds benefit the CFDA – and since there are only 700 seats available, we suggest doing this right now if you’re interested.

We’re not sure how we’d feel going to a Fashion Week show that we paid to see. But on the other hand, it’ll be longer and include some personal time with Peter himself, so maybe it’s actually the smarter way to go.

Following its star-crammed opening hosted by Calvin Klein (and sealed with Martha Stewart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Ashley Olsen), the museum hosts a fete next week for Banana Republic and their favorite fashion editors.

Then it’s time for FORM to showcase their latest collection in the museum’s Skybox, which provides an insane view of the city skyscape, as seen from downtown.

And finally?

Lutz Patmos will host their Fall ‘08 cashmere presentation, which usually lures Carine Roitfeld as well as various celluloid darlings like Liv Tyler and Julianne Moore.

This time around, another starlet is slated to attend, but for once, we can’t tell.

Can you?

Charlotte Ronson has pushed her show time from Sunday, February 3 to Monday, February 4.

The show takes place at 3 pm in the Altman Building, and may mark the first time ever that there’s actually enough room for everyone with an invitation.

Charlotte says “We didn’t realize that the Super Bowl was on Sunday, and even though most fashion people don’t care about it, a lot of my friends do! Plus there are so many presentations that weekend, we didn’t want anyone to stress out about rushing to make our show.”

We’d still suggest getting there quite early:

Remember last year, when Jessica Stam and Eve had to be pulled, tugboat style, through The Box just to see Charlotte’s super-cool dresses and shoes?

It was actually sort of glamorous, though not so civilized…

Samantha Ronson will DJ and Annabelle Dexter Jones will open the show (hello), and the entire production is inspired by Jane Birkin, and other folk-fabulous brunettes.

Charlotte will also unveil faux fur for the first time (she’s never used real fur, FYI).

Then we noticed her slot’s kicking off the hipsterest day of them all, also known as next Thursday.

Now, we hear her presentation was such a popular request for next week, it’s officially closed off to any more people who think they can snag an invite.

One year ago, no editor could have picked this girl out of a line up of blonde designer wannabes, and now it looks like she might be the next leader of the Parsons Mafia.

Guess it pays to be friends with sisters whose names end in Traina or Olsen.

We love Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn, Gemma Ward, Johnny Depp, Sofia Coppola, Luella Bartley, Phoebe Philo, Irina, you, Henry Holland, The Rolling Stones, and the fashion photographer Nick Knight, whose clients include Burberry, McQueen, and most of British Vogue.

So of course, we’re a little excited, because although we’ve met almost everyone on that above list (still waiting on Phoebe, Johnny, and 1 of the Stones…) we’ve never even seen Nick Knight in person… until now.

The ShowStudio founder comes to town on Friday, February 1 to debut a film with the menswear designer Bernard Wilhelm. The project presents Wilhelm’s Fall ‘08 collection, and premiers at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Its theme, according to Knight, is Men In Tights, which goes anywhere from Robin Hood to Centerstage or Miuccia Prada’s recent runway outing of guys in skirts.

Who’s psyched?
