Spring was in the air for one sweet evening as the crowds swarmed West Chelsea for the annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares silent auction and charity fashion show, which the department store hosts every year to raise money for a spate of LGBT causes, including ACRIA, the Hetrik-Martin Institute, and Lambda Legal. Zachary Quinto chatted with Anna Wintour as the guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, looking to bid on prizes ranging from small pocketbooks to deluxe fantasy vacations. Joseph Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, and Narciso Rodriguez were all in attendance, as were Catherine McNeil and Jasmine Tookes, there to support Miles Langford, Tobias Sorenson, and other model friends who took to the runway showing off the famously edgy designer wares available at Jeffreys, from Dries Van Noten and Givenchy to the tiny swimsuits on Chad White and Parker Hurley. Those two received, unsurprisingly, a loud cheer from the raucous crowd on hand, one surpassed only by the applause for the charismatic River Viiperi, who stripped off his Bobby Abley sweatshirt halfway down the runway and flashed a smile around the room. All for a good cause. Take a look at Casey Vange’s exclusive backstage shots below, only on models.com.
