No one ever accused Diane von Furstenberg of not having fun at her fashion shows.

On Sunday, the designer known for her joyful victory laps at fashion shows took it a step further, joining a bevy of her models - a who's who of cover girls, including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Irina Shayk -in an onstage disco house party during the presentation of her Fall 2016 collection.

It was a new type of fashion show for DVF, which usually puts on a formal runway show. This time, at her own DVF offices, von Furstenberg presented a series of five vignettes in different stage areas. It allowed guests to spend as much time as they wanted looking at a particular garment, and up close.

It also gave the models a chance to let loose, especially the marquee group, a party of eight that included Jenner, Kloss, Hadid and others dancing, primping and taking Polaroids of each other, clearly on their way to a party. At one point, the designer herself got up and chilled with the girls, swaying to the music and giving Hadid a peck on the cheek.

"This year we're bringing the people back into our house," von Furstenberg said in a pre-show interview. "I have a new CEO and for him it was very important that we brought people back into our house and explain what our brand is. And our brand is very intimate, because DVF has an intimate relationship with a woman ... we are the best friend in the closet."

For her collection, which showed of course on Valentine's Day, the designer said her theme was "Love power. Love is always at the center of everything. But it was (also) a little bit about the movement of dancing and the precision of fencing."

The vignettes were meant to convey different places in a woman's life: traveling, working, getting ready for a party. The party was clearly the main attraction; at one point the models made what seemed to be an impromptu conga line and powered their way through a crowd of guests.

As for the clothes: Jenner wore an amethyst-colored satin jumpsuit. Kloss, seemingly the queen bee of the proceedings, wore a shiny gold sequined and beaded long-sleeved wrap gown, with a dramatic slit. Hadid wore a black satin and Chantilly lace slip dress - an item that DVF, joining the "buy it now" trend in fashion, was making available already for purchase. (Normally, it takes months to find clothes one sees on the runway.)

"I love those girls and they love me," von Furstenberg said of her models. "I love them because I relate to them, I remember when I was like that, and so I feel very close to them."
