Net-a-porter and Mr Porter Celebrate the Hamptons Summer Season at the Parrish Art Museum
Net-a-porter and Mr Porter know how to deliver style out east. On Wednesday night, the luxury retailer group (which offers premier delivery in the Hamptons through Labor Day) brought an intimate crowd to Watermill, N.Y., for an al fresco dinner at the Parrish Art Museum. The occasion? Summertime.
Guests walked alongside the museum’s exterior and congregated in a clearing within the museum’s expansive meadow, where a vintage cocktail truck served up spicy margaritas and Hugo Spritzes. Net-a-porter interim chief executive officer and president Alison Loehnis posed with guests like Mickey Sumner and Thomas Doherty underneath a branded arch, while “SNL” star Ego Nwodim and Tinx caught up on one of the reflective benches and Rosie Assoulin chatted nearby with gallerist Hannah Traore and Jennifer Fisher.

Other guests included Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blaquier, who brought along daughter Aurora Figueras, Clara McGregor, Molly Sims, Ella Hunt, Kevin and Kate Love and Joe Holder. Newly engaged Huma Abedin arrived as dusk set in and guests began finding their seats around the long table set underneath the museum’s covered terrace.
“For those of you that are local, thank you for braving the traffic,” Loehnis said as dinner kicked off with a watermelon and lobster amuse bouche. “For those of you who came from the city, I’m really sorry — thank you.”
No apologies needed; the crowd was happy to skirt the city’s brief rainstorm, and were in high spirits as the leisurely evening stretched on.
“Really what tonight is about is what we describe as our fashion family,” Loehnis said. “Every summer Net-a-porter and Mr Porter, we do something out here, and the point of it really is to just celebrate the season, celebrate the community that we really love, and celebrate our friends of the brand,” she added. “The objective is to have fun.”
