Trays of Aperol spritzes and glasses of rosé swirled about as influencers chatted and swapped fashion week schedules. Attendees were dressed in everything from striped boxer shorts — one of summer’s hottest trends — to flowing red gowns, as was the case with a trio of young women who looked like they were ready for a black-tie affair.

Fresh off her performance at the LuisaViaRoma store opening party, Charlotte Lawrence serenaded the crowd with her musical talents as the night neared close.
