"    Photo: BFAnyc.com   DJ Chelsea Leyland may be a fashion world favorite for getting partygoers on their feet, but she was the one on the dance floor last night. Envision an electronica rave, add a penthouse loft, and fill it with models and socialites: Such was the scene at her birthday bash hosted by DKNY Jeans and sponsored by Absolut Vodka and Evian. A freight elevator brought attendees to an all-white, raw warehouse space bathed in black lights and lasers. We spotted Theophilus London, Hannah Bronfman, Dree Hemingway, and Waris Ahluwalia, who gifted Leyland a helium ice-cream cone balloon she kept tied to her all night. Attendees outfitted themselves in whistles, animal masks, and glow sticks while DJs Mess Kid and Brenmar spun infectious beats, and singer Kilo Kish treated guests to a live performance. Before the British beauty partied away, we caught up with her to talk about her special day.   This is one amazing party! What gave you the idea for it? So, we kind of wanted to have fun with it, and the whole idea of the party was to do a &amp;#039;90s theme, just a throwback. DKNY is obviously very much an &amp;#039;90s iconic brand: It represents New York. I was too young to ever have fun in the &amp;#039;90s, so I&amp;#039;m always trying to relive what I wasn&amp;#039;t a part of.  Tell us about your custom DKNY Jeans birthday outfit. We designed something that was similar to their collaboration at Opening Ceremony, for which they did the jumpsuit, so we did something that was rave-y and &amp;#039;90s. We had to have the logo, and they even put my name on [the back of] it. It&amp;#039;s not something I&amp;#039;d normally wear, but it&amp;#039;s fun for a party and very &amp;#039;90s. What are you most excited for tonight? Brenmar. He&amp;#039;s headlining, and he&amp;#039;s one of my favorite DJs. I feel so honored that he&amp;#039;s DJ-ing for me. Also, my friend Kilo Kish is performing. She&amp;#039;s an amazing singer! Aside from those two, anyone else on your birthday playlist? There&amp;#039;s a DJ right now called Cashmere Cat, who I&amp;#039;m obsessed with. I just saw him perform live the other day. The name, to me, is so chic: Cashmere Cat! Everything he does is what I&amp;#039;m into right now.  What&amp;#039;s the number one thing on your birthday wish list?  I don&amp;#039;t know, I&amp;#039;m happy with where I am at in my life, and I just hope that everything continues. I am so grateful, without sounding cheesy, to have such amazing friends with me and to have a career that&amp;#039;s going so well. That really is the best birthday present. Any other big plans for your birthday? This is my big party, but my boyfriend [Ben Pundole of Ruschmeyer&amp;#039;s] organized a surprise dinner for me the other day! I&amp;#039;m going to Berlin in like a week and a half, so I&amp;#039;m going to do that, then I&amp;#039;m going to London. I&amp;#039;m excited for the rest of the summer, DJ-ing and traveling. Lastly, what&amp;#039;s your choice birthday cake flavor? Dark chocolate chili from London, of course!
