At the CFDA nominations last night, we rounded up some of our faves to discuss the holiday that made half of NYC late for work today: St. Paddy's Day! Yaaaaay! Right?

How are you going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Jason Wu: I actually didn't remember that it was, but I suppose I'll be wearing green!

Sophie Theallet: I don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I'm sorry!

Andrew Buckler: I'll try to put something green on and I'll definitely have a few beers.

Michael Bastian: We are in the office picking out all of our fabric and finalizing all all of our designs for our big comeback for Spring 12 , so I am getting nowhere near 5th Avenue. I used to work at Bergdorfs which is right in the middle of all that, so I learned the hard way: Don't mess with St. Patrick's Day!

Danielle Snyder: I'll definitely be sporting green. It's one of those holidays where you just go with it.

Bibhu Mohapatra: Having drinks with friends somewhere south of 11th Street.

What's your favorite kind of beer?

Jason Wu: Bud Light.

Andrew Buckler: I like English beer. I'm a lager boy so I'll track down some Harp.

Sophie Theallet: Corona with lime.

Alexander Wang: I don't drink beer.

Michael Basitan: I'm a Budweiser guy. Don't mess with Bud!

Waris Ahluwalia: I don't drink, so I guess the kind of beer that gets everyone else drunk fast.

Bibhu Mohapatra: I love a Stella on draft or a Heineken or a Bud. Any sort of ale!

Jodie Snyder of Dannijo: I like Stella.

Danielle Snyder of Dannijo: This is random, but I really like Blue Moon with an orange.
