"  When we asked Laveer&amp;#039;s Kate Ciepluch where she got the chic one-shouldered blouse that she donned for our Bazaar.com relaunch party this week, designer Jonathan Simkhai exclaimed, &amp;quot;She raided my closet!&amp;quot; The black and white theme threw Ciepluch, &amp;quot;so I made this shirt for her out of an old tuxedo shirt I had,&amp;quot; the designer explains of his best friend. Not surpisingly, the current member of the CFDA Fashion Incubator has a knack for that borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic, one of the mainstays of his collections. We were so enamored with Ciepluch&amp;#039;s look\u2014and Simkhai&amp;#039;s high-end D.I.Y.\u2014we asked the designer to share his secret. He did\u2014 even providing a sketch of the 4 easy steps.  JONATHAN SIMKHAI&amp;#039;S EVENING SHIRT HOW-TO: 1) Start with an oversized collared button down shirt. 2) Put one arm through sleeve and adjust the shirt so that the front opening is under the other arm. Button the shirt under your arm at one side. 3) Take the free sleeve and wrap it around across your stomach so that it cinches your waist. 4) Pin the sleeve that is wrapping around your body discreetly in the back with a safety pin\u2014and you&amp;#039;re done!  What we loved in particular about Ciepluch&amp;#039;s look was how the bib-front shirt added that element of texture and drama to her black skinny pants. But what&amp;#039;s so inspiring about this trick is you can pull it off with any mens-style button down. You&amp;#039;ll thank us come party season.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
