On a summer Wednesday in Sag Harbor, partygoers escaped the mid-week blues to join Alison Loehnis of Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter for an al fresco summer dinner at Parrish Art Museum. Rather than ask the “why” behind the fete, Lohenis would muse: Why not? The Southhampton gathering celebrated the summer season and the brand’s fashion family.
“What tonight is about is what we describe as our fashion family. Every summer, we do something here [in the Hamptons]. We’re here to celebrate the season, celebrate the community that we love, and celebrate our friend,” Loehnis told Vogue.
Amidst the museum’s picturesque sculpture garden, party-goers enjoyed a selection of refreshing drinks from a vintage cocktail cart nestled in the lush greenery. After mingling in the meadow, attendees sporting the lasted High Summer ’24 and Pre-Fall ’24 collections strolled to their four-course dinner nearby. Underneath the museum’s architectural overhang awaited an elegant extra-long rectangular mirrored table, with a tablescape featuring wildflowers and each attendee’s name scrolled in calligraphy at their seat. Guests dined underneath the stars, followed by a coveted private viewing of the museum’s latest exhibitions after hours.
Attendees included Ego Nwodim, Huma Abedin, Thomas Doherty, Ella Hunt, Clara McGregor, Mickey Sumner, Kevin and Kate Love, Nacho Figueras, Nigel Sylvester, Molly Sims, Dr. Lara Devgan, Beth Hutchens, Jennifer Fisher, Suzie Kondi, Nina Runsdorf, Rosie Assoulin, Veronica De Piante, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, London Wilmot, Natasha Colvin, Andy Baraghani, Carter B. Smith, Delfina Blaquier, Eny Lee Parker, Georges Coupet, Hannah Traore, Igee Okafor, Joe Holder, Joey Wölffer, Marcos Fecchino, Scott Stuber, Sophie Elgort, and more.
