New to East Hampton last year, Louis Vuitton is the latest brand to inject some fresh air into the eastern summer scene.
The luxury brand celebrated its presence in the Hamptons on Saturday with an elegant garden party hosted by Natalie Massenet, Marie-Chantal of Greece and Derek Blasberg.
Held in a private home with expansive gardens, guests sipped champagne and nibbled on caviar, sliders, mini grilled cheeses, specialty pizzas, and gelato while exploring the grounds, which included a private pool complete with an alligator fountain. There were plenty of yard games to keep guests entertained, including croquet, badminton, giant connect four, and cornhole.
Among the guests were Marie-Chantal’s husband, Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, and his daughter, Princess Olympia of Greece, who wore a gray Louis Vuitton mini dress with a flared skirt and sweetheart neckline.
Other attendees included Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Lauren Santo Domingo, Luisa Jacobson, Molly Sims, Will Arnett and Alessandra Brown, Gayle King, Jamie Mizrahi, Selby Drummond, Evan Ross Katz, Jacqueline Jablonski, Deborra-Lee Furness, Rachel Zoe, Paul Wesley and Gucci Westman.
The Louis Vuitton logo was spread throughout the grounds, on seashell installations, cushions, umbrellas, deck chairs, surfboards, towels and all sorts of summer essentials.
There were also multiple versions of designer suitcases on display, with artists on-site to personalize them for guests who could afford them.
Louis Vuitton opened its first store in the Hamptons in May 2023. The store carries Vuitton’s full range of products, including men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, shoes, leather goods, accessories, fragrance, high jewelry, watches, and of course, trunks.
