Last night, Olivia Palermo, Katie Cassidy, Nicole Trunfio, Katrina Bowden, Renee Olstead, Dani Stahl, and Ric Pipino attended a cocktail shindig hosted by Elin Kling to celebrate the launch of the limited edition Elin Kling for Marciano capsule collection at Home Studio Inc. in NYC. For the brand’s first-ever collaboration, the Swedish-born street style icon and fashion entrepreneur created a limited-edition women’s capsule collection that will be sold at Marciano retail stores worldwide, at select GUESS locations, leading department stores and multibrand accounts, and online at EKforMarciano.com beginning October 22nd. In honor of the iconic brand, Chic played a game of 'Take a Guess!' with the blogger turned designer.

We're going to play a game.
Oh! I love games!

When was GUESS founded?
30 years ago. Woohoo!

Which iconic supermodels has been the face of GUESS?
Claudia Schiffer.

What was the name of the first stonewash jean GUESS produced?
Oh my God! That's too much for me.

Hint: She is blonde and her dress blew up; last name's Monroe.
Oh, Marilyn!

Which classic Michael J. Fox film were GUESS jeans featured in?
My archival knowledge of GUESS is looking through the campaigns. I don't know.

Here's an easier one: What was YOUR first piece of GUESS clothing?
My memory is worse than a goldfish but I'm sure it was a pair of jeans. I've always been a denim girl.

What was the first department store to carry GUESS?
Bloomingdale's!

How did Elin score? With a helpful hint for that third question, she got 'em all correct! If you're gunning for more GUESS? knowledge: That Michael J. Fox film is Back To The Future, and Eva Herzigova, Valeria Mazza, and Laetitia Casta are a few other beauties that've fronted the denim brand.
