Ralph Lauren Dazzles BridgehamptonBy Katlean de Monchy–Women’s Wear Daily was wowed by Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2025 show in the Hamptons, which drew stars of the fashion world, like Anna Wintour, movie and television actors, models, influencers, Olympic athletes, musicians, the whole nine yards, plus America’s First Lady. For one Thursday in September, Bridgehampton was the center of the fashion world, the day before New York Fashion Week started.
What Happened at the Hampton Classic

What Happened at the Hampton ClassicBy Katlean de Monchy–You had to be there. It did rain on Grand Prix Day. For just a few moments. Nonetheless, the equestrian community, celebrities and high rollers showed up, and dressed up — straw hats for men, flowered hats for the ladies — for the final competition. It was the $400,000 culmination of a week’s worth of jump offs and contests and qualifiers. I was lucky to stumble on the Evergates table, where Bill Gates’ daughter sat.

By Linda Lee—The Hamptons Film Festival runs from Opening Night, “Martha,” on October 4 through October 14. It is so filled with juicy films that we can’t include them all or we would be discussing their entire program. So I’m not going to include “The Piano Lesson,” based on August Wilson’s play, starring Samuel L. Jackson, because you can figure that one out yourself. Here are what I think are the most exciting films up through Oct. 7. In another newsletter I’ll do cleanup with films from Oct.
Fantasy or Fantastic Real Estate

By Linda Lee — PART IIt’s called the Playhouse. For more than 100 years it has been in the hands of only two families: the Woodhouses and the Brockmans. Now there will be a third owner. People think of the Playhouse as a Tudor Great Hall, and may have a hard time imagining what life would be like living in that era. But how about “Downton Abbey”? Because that was the time in which this place was built.
A Hamptons View of New York Fashion Week

Oct 8, 2024 | easthampton.com | Katlean de Monchy |Linda Lee

By Katlean de Monchy–There is a reason I’m taking a look at New York’s Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Week from a Hamptons’ perspective. People who live here and vacation here need fashion casual clothes and finery for cocktail parties and galas. I went to under-the-radar shows that offered both at reasonable prices, and yet had the variety and sophistication required. And I saw our local fashionista, Jean Shafiroff, at several of the shows.

The BRIDGE 2024 EAST HAMPTON

THE BRIDGE 2024 EAST HAMPTONBy Linda LeeThere was no question that people in Riverhead, North Sea and Water Mill saw some fine cars pass by on their way to Millstone Road and the Bridge Golf Club earlier this month. Wasn’t that a McLaren? Wait, that looks like a Ferrari F8 Spider. And so it went. An old, small red Porsche convertible, like a toy car. Then a big, shiny Mercedes Benz limo. Some were on flatbeds.
