For anyone who hit the much-anticipated Lorick SS09 presentation in midtown yesterday evening, there was plenty of fun to be had. The downtown, St. Germain-swigging crowd included a handful of boldface creatives -- stylist-turned-Elle editor Kate Young, Subversive Jewelry's Justin Guinta and Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons' Derrick Cruz. Margaret Colin, better known to most as Eleanor Waldorf, was also in attendance to support the namesake line of designer Abigail Lorick, who is likewise best known for her day job -- stylist of the greatest show on television, Gossip Girl. This was no typical collection presentation: Models were decked out in Upper East Side-appropriate cocktail dresses and separates with a decidedly 1950s yet flirtatious feel, and they were sectioned off into idyllic, wholesome scenes like the sleepover, afternoon tea, a garden party, and (as seen after the jump) a day spent baking, complete with three-tier cakes. Who doesn't love cake-chomping models at a fashion show?
