After years of giving presentations instead of runway shows (which we can attest were swarmed, crowded, dizzying affairs), Tory Burch celebrated her first runway show ever yesterday, in a sun-drenched room at Alice Tully Hall. Top-tier models–Arizona Muse, Lindsey Wixson, Fei Fei, Liu Wen–strolled the runway muliple times.

Those who love the brand and that uber-recognizable stacked “T” logo will be thrilled with this latest collection. Having a 20s flapper vibe, complete with fringed raffia (which adorned dresses and bags) and drop-waist dresses, the whole collection gave off an easy Great Gatsby vibe.

Alice + Olivia is all about fun fashion, and Tuesday night’s presentation was a perfect example of that. As DJ Mia Moretti spun pop hits, accompanied by violinist Caitlin Moe, revelers—including the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Jordin Sparks, Tinsley Mortimer, Corinne Bailey Rae, Michelle Trachtenberg and Nicky Hilton—hit the bar (stocked with plenty of Veuve and Belvedere). Waiters with blended drinks from The Coffee Bean were also on hand offering fashion types a much needed boost of energy during a long week of shows.

The presentation’s backdrop was equally entertaining. Models stood on a large, raised square of Astro-Turf in the center of the Meatpacking’s Highline Stages, underneath large white gazebos and bird cages. Our favorite prop was a large tree in the center of the presentation with the brand’s candy colored shoes dangling down from the branches. “I wanted it to be a very secret garden,” said Stacey Bendet, who got into the spirit by wearing colorful flowers and feathers in her hair. “There are a lot of flowers and it’s just supposed to have this very kind of fun, happy uplifting feel,” she said. The cheerful looks channeled Palm Beach in the 1960’s with poppy colored shifts, floral maxi dresses, jersey jumpsuits, and a striking pair of black and white striped wide legs that Bendet does so well.
