SMOOTH AS MILK: Milk Studios certainly learned its lesson after the fiasco that was the Calvin Klein show two years ago. At the Proenza Schouler show Monday afternoon, which drew its share of socials and fashion heavies alike - Karolina Kurkova, Margherita Missoni, Tory Burch, Jacqui Getty, Liz Goldwyn and the Traina sisters - everything went off without a hitch.
