"  With a little help from his fabulous friends, the &amp;quot;generous&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;visionary&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;fun!&amp;quot; Phillip Lim celebrated the launch of his guest-edited edition of Me Magazine. Friends and fans gathered at B.East (downtown/underground haunt du jour) to toast the much-loved designer. Lim&amp;#039;s issue, #16 of the independently published tome, explores his fashion and personal life, as well as those of his inner circle\u2014including ELLE&amp;#039;s very own Joe Zee, fellow designer Richard Chai, and artist Anh Duong. Another FFF (fabulous fashion friend) in attendance: model of the moment Tao Okamoto (the Japanese stunner&amp;#039;s bowl haircut inspired the cropped wigs at Lim&amp;#039;s fall 2009 runway show last month). Tao dressed the part in the perfect winter-meets-spring 3.1 Phillip Lim evening look\u2014ruffled silk trench over grosgrain-ribbon belted dress (see her avec and sans coat below). If only Phillip Lim were our stylist. \u2014Violet Moon Gaynor  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
