For Fall '10, designers — such as Adam Lippes, Peter Som, Michael Kors, and Tommy Hilfiger — swapped out shorter hemlines for longer luxurious lengths.

Peep how Adam Lippes and Peter Som experimented with floaty, printed chiffon layers, while Michael Kors and Tibi decorated their long skirts with beads and shimmer.

Sources revealed Som — pictured left with Wang — was in uproar when he heard the news describing Wang as, "A backstabbing friend who would do anything for the right amount of money."
