Tory Burch Parties with Kool & the Gang

There’s something endlessly classic about Tory Burch, so who better to celebrate the opening of her first permanent Tory Sport store than 1960s R&B group Kool & the Gang? The musical guest kept perfect tone with the midcentury decor and ’70s-inspired designs of the newly-minted Flatiron space. A cadre of models including Chanel Iman and Jessica Hart, plus designers such as Narciso Rodriguez and Misha Nonoo turned out to celebrate the opening, filtering in around the tennis court stationed outside. Burch herself emerged dressed in a top from her new line (many of her guests, too, wore her designs), bouncing along to Kool’s throwback grooves. It was a night spent putting the leisure back into athleisure.
