Louis Vuitton, the new kid on the East Hampton block , is the latest brand to put its touch on the summertime scene out east. The luxury brand celebrated its presence in the Hamptons with an elegant garden party on Saturday hosted by Natalie Massenet, Marie Chantal of Greece and Derek Blasberg. Held at a private residence with rambling gardens, guests sipped on Champagne and nibbled on caviar, sliders, mini grilled cheese, custom pizzas and gelato as they explored the estate, which included a private area for a swimming pool complete with an alligator fountain.
There were plenty of garden games to keep them occupied, including croquet, badminton, a giant Connect Four and corn hole. Among the guests were Marie Chantal’s husband Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, and her daughter, , who was kitted out in a gray minidress with a flared skirt and sweetheart neckline. Other attendees included Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Lauren Santo Domingo, Louisa Jacobson, Molly Sims, Will Arnett and Alessandra Brawn, Gayle King, Jamie Mizrahi, Selby Drummond, Evan Ross Katz, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Deborra-Lee Furness, Rachel Zoe, Paul Wesley and Gucci Westman.
Louis Vuitton’s logo was present across the estate, emblazoned on shell installations, cushions, umbrellas, deck chairs, surfboards, towels — everything one needs for summer. Also present were multiple versions of the designer brand’s luggage. For guests feeling flush enough to make a purchase, an artist was available on-site for personalizations.
