Canstruction, which just finished its run at the World Financial Center, teamed students, mentored by professional architects and engineers, who created humongous and slightly disturbing can structures. Made entirely of unopened cans (with an occasional cereal box or peanut butter jar), the sculptures varied wildly from a map of the world, a slice of pie with a fork, and a Quaker Oats jar (including, disconcertingly, the Quaker Man’s face), all made entirely of metal cans.

House of Dieh’s 2009 Style Wars, was so hot we nearly ripped off our Gap jeans and LL Bean overcoat, wrapped ourselves in toilet paper and aluminum foil, and vamped the miniature runway.

Least fave: Rob Schneider’s brief, dorky visit in a suede, fur-lined vest.
Yeah!
