<p>Collection notes described the inspiration as twisted country club and the theme was reflected in the turnout in the front row, which had pop stars such as <span class="xn-person">Jennifer Lopez</span>, <span class="xn-person">Bradley Cooper</span> and <span class="xn-person">Lenny Kravitz</span> mixed among a strong showing of New York's social set.</p>
<p/>
<p>Celebrating its twenty-five year heritage, the collection offered more than a touch of prep with an added twist reflected by an audacious use of color, mixed patterns and proportions.</p>
<p/>
<p>Crowd favorites included pleated tennis skirts, a sequined navy blazer, bandeau tops and back-baring georgette gowns. The menswear seemed destined for the neo-preppy rocker who considers seersucker short suits and leopard loafers a way of life.</p>
<p/>
<p>Following the show, Tommy thanked his guests in epic style with a giant bash at The Metropolitan Opera.  Rows of blazer-clad young men lined the entrance which featured a sky high, neon lit display of the designer's initials.  Just inside the opera house a large topiary flag recalled the green hedge inspiration that dominated the show.</p>
<p/>
<p>DJ <span class="xn-person">Paul Sevigny</span> got the crowd going, but it was the live performance by THE STROKES that had every balcony of the iconic venue filled with guests including <span class="xn-person">Christina Hendricks</span>, <span class="xn-person">Neil Patrick Harris</span>, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Jeremy Piven, Rumer Willis, Rebecca Romijn, <span class="xn-person">Jason Lewis</span>, <span class="xn-person">Olivia Palermo</span> and <span class="xn-person">Amanda Hearst</span>.</p>
