RESORT RECAP!

There were polka dots, ruffles, sleek separates, and smiles all round as Caroline Herrera headed to Rio de Janeiro. Oscar de la Renta’s Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia breathed new life into spring-ready silhouettes with wild sunflower and tiger prints, billowing silk chiffon fabrics, and 3-D crystal embroidery. Alberta Ferretti took us to a 15th-century fortress in Rimini, Italy, to share her scene-stealing homage to film icon Fellini. Think: main character energy sequin suiting and femme fatale frocks. And for Balmain, Olivier Rousteing had the American dream and the needs of his Stateside style icons on the brain

Celebration A CINQ À SEPT

Rosé was flowing at Cinq à Sept’s newly opened premier flagship store at 108 Wooster Street from the hours of 5 to 7 last May—mais oui!—as The Daily toasted to the brand’s first retail location. The Daily’s Palm Beach and Hamptons editor Lizzi Bickford Meadow and multihyphenate influencer Jessica Markowski welcomed guests to the new Soho digs, where they perused fresh separates, suiting, party dresses, and denim items from the Spring/Summer ’23

A PEEK INSIDE CINQ À SEPT’S NEW SOHO STORE

Sitting pretty at 108 Wooster Street, Soho shoppers will now find contemporary brand Cinq à Sept’s first foray into brick-and-mortar retail. And the flagship boutique isn’t just a go-to for the NYC-based label’s cocktail dresses, suiting, embellished separates, denim, and more—it’s also an oasis of calm from the city, thanks to soft, plush, and warm interiors, but more on that in a minute!

To celebrate the opening of the store—and the fact that several more are planned in the coming year—The Daily Front Row headed to the cobblelined street to take a peek inside. Lizzi Bickford Meadow and Jessica Markowski explored the Spring/ Summer ’23 collection, picking out their selects, and choosing outfits to wear while on hosting duty for the aforementioned opening party.

Among their faves were the feather-trimmed ivory Raveena mini (which would also make for a dreamy bridal fashion moment on a bachelorette trip or at a rehearsal dinner), the pearl-embellished crepe Gracey blazer and shorts, the garden party–approved ruffled Neena dress, and the berry-hued tweed Katrice knit cutaway blazer and shorts.

New York native Jane Siskin founded Cinq à Sept with the aim to provide her busy fellow New Yorkers with the type of elegant yet efficient take-youanywhere modern wardrobe staples that worked as hard from day to night as the stylish women wearing them. The new boutique is an extension of that effortlessly sophisticated approach, with chic touches such as a porcelain chandelier, an Olga Engel–designed curvaceous couch (both sourced by Siskin in Saint-Tropez, no less!), and Venetian plaster walls and stone tabletops made from marble and quartz.

Plan your wish list now by perusing cinqasept.nyc, and arrange your visit to 108 Wooster Street ASAP.

Chic

As the founder and creative director of her namesake brand, Shoshanna, we’ve always admired the effortless style of Shoshanna Gruss The Daily Summer checks in with one of our longtime faves to see how she’s managed to keep her finger on the pulse for more than 20 years and still feels fresh.

By EDDIE ROCHE

What do you have on tap for the rest of the summer?

To spend as much time as I can out in Sag Harbor with my family—on the beach, in the water, surfing, sleeping late once in a while, and getting back on track with a workout plan. Anna Kaiser, I’m coming for you!

Any travel plans?

I’m taking my children to Japan, and hopefully traveling a little bit in Southern France toward the end of the summer.

What’s new with the business?

We just launched a fun collab with Sunflow beach chairs! Perfect timing for long days ahead at the beach!

You’ve been around for more than 20 years. How has the brand evolved?

The brand has evolved so much since we launched in 1998; as I have grown, the brand has grown—from a single, busy young woman looking to work hard/play hard to a mother of three who has a crazy busy schedule but still likes to play, just not as hard or as late. Launching the swim line and then the Baby Girl line were just natural

HamptonsMostS tylish

evolutions of what I needed in my life, but I credit a lot of our longevity in that we stay true to our customer base, and never stray too far from our Shoshanna DNA. We make beautiful, timeless, celebratory pieces that include many women’s bodies. What are your customers looking for in pieces from your line?

Our customers expect a beautiful piece that is impeccably made, but, most important, fits them like it was made for them. We are known for our inclusive fit. Do you have any muses?

I don’t really have a muse. I’m inspired by so many women. I do have a huge crush on Dolly Parton. I think she is the coolest. How do you navigate work/life balance?

I don’t! [Laughs] It’s not easy. I have an unbelievable team at Shoshanna, and I couldn’t be the kind of mother I want to be without them. I worked so hard before my children were born that I didn’t feel guilty when I decided I was going to be the one to drop them off and pick them up every day in their early years. When I’m conflicted, and I have a work obligation or something for my children, I usually pose the question to myself, in five years, which one will have meant more and that usually sends me in the direction of my children. I don’t know if that’s the right move, but I 100 percent know it’s not the wrong move. What have you been enjoying in the Hamptons lately?

The new Carissa’s in Sag Harbor is a gorgeous addition! I cannot wait to check out Christian’s by Wölffer Estate in Amagansett, too!

What’s your favorite beach on the East End?

We love the bay beaches in Sag Harbor, most especially Long Beach. Wiborg and Ditch Plains are favorites for surfing with my twins; Atlantic and Main beaches get my vote

for best snack bar, but you can’t really go wrong out there. Rogers Beach in Westhampton has seen some of my favorite shell-collecting moments. You have such great personal style. What’s your approach to style and the way you dress?

Thank you so much! I love color and unique accessories that make a dress my own. I learned a long time ago that I don’t have a trendy body, and there are only a few shapes I feel flatter me. I repeat the same basic shapes; I love a great fit and flare! I change up color, fabric, and length, and then make each outfit unique with amazing shoes, bags, jewels, and belts. Once you figure out what works for your individual shape, it’s so much fun playing dress up!

FASHION Folklore

By FREYA DROHAN

Heralding the arrival of Midsummer, Max Mara showed its Resort ’24 collection earlier this month with a breath-of-fresh-air offering that both nodded to the significance of the Swedish pagan celebration while acting as an ode to aspirational Scandi style. Indeed, it’s a place where the luxury label says it “feels right at home,” thanks to its clean, crisp, classic aesthetic.

Creative director Ian Griffiths always has a muse or two in mind, and this time for his Stockholm outing, he only had eyes for

fiercely independent females—including Viking warriors who sewed the seeds for gender equality, feminist icon Queen Christina of Sweden, and Selma Lagerlöf, the suffrage activist who was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. With these figures, as well as the festival Midsommar on the brain, the resulting collection was a thoroughly refreshed take on ideas from the 1900s and traditional folk dress—billowing tunics with scallopedge cuffs, ankle-grazing skirts, tassel ties

bouncing from sleeveless coats, loose dresses with drawstring waists, ruched torsos, or bishop sleeves, cord belts, capes, and poncho sleeves. Later came the type of pieces we now associate with the ever-popular Scandi look, albeit Max Mara–ified; like sporty tops, elevated city shorts, and monochromatic tailored separates. To conclude, Griffiths created a series of heart-achingly beautiful pieces that nodded to the Swedish tradition of collecting seven types of wildflowers and sleeping with them under your pillow during Midsommer, in order to find your true love via your dreams. Whatever about potential spouses—we’ll be thinking fondly of these garments for the coming months.

Among those who attended the show and a celebratory dinner in City Hall’s Blue Hall were the likes of Demi Moore, Amy Adams, Lily Collins, Lili Reinhart, Kiernan Shipka, Kathy Hilton, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Bryan Yambao, Camila Coelho, Brad Goreski, Tina Leung, Leonie Hanne, Tina Craig, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Jessica Wang, and Olivia Culpo, among others.

When BRIGITTE BARDOT MEETS 007…

What makes J Craft a dream boat?

Looking for more la dolce vita in your life? J Craft has got you covered! Blending cutting-edge technology with timeless styling, each J Craft boat empowers the individual to live in the moment and experience pure boating pleasure. Hedge fund manager and entrepreneur Radenko Milakovic tells The Daily Summer how the company is creating the ultimate classic-boating experience her timeless styling with a commanding presence under the waterline, each J Craft is anything but traditional.

J Craft is a boat fit for a king, and we mean that quite literally as the first J Craft ever produced was built for HRH Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden. It was delivered to him in 1999, and he still uses it to this day, some 24 years later. The Torpedo is retro in style, in that her design is inspired by the classic mahogany hulls from the 1950s and ’60s. However, while being retro in style, she’s a thoroughly modern boat when looking at the technology and materials we use to build her. After all, she’s a boat that’s built to cope with what can be challenging conditions in the Baltic and North seas, which we cross frequently. As such and while beautiful and cool, she’s an enormously capable, powerful, but also practical boat; as I like to say, Brigitte Bardot meets 007. To top this off, there’s her Viking heritage. With her striking retro vintage looks, the build quality, and her performance, she can’t help but turn heads. What was the inspiration?

The original inspiration was boats from the ’50s and ’60s, the classic mahogany look—but in contrast to these, the Torpedos are built to handle the high seas. While she continues to be hand-built by us from the keel up, we use the latest in technology and materials with an emphasis on quality, seaworthiness, and capability. What areas were the first J Craft boats sold in?

Most of the early units were sold to clients in Sweden, Denmark, and other Scandinavian countries. However, from 2010 onward, the majority of our boats were being used throughout the Mediterranean, but as some of them were also tenders to super yachts, you could find J Craft Torpedos across the seven seas, including in the U.S. Today, you can see them on the French Riviera, the Balearic islands, Sardinia, but also on lakes in Switzerland and in one case on a lake in the U.S. Quarter 4 of this year will see the arrival of the latest J Craft Torpedo at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. You acquired J Craft from original founder Björn Jansson [the “J” in J Craft] in 2008. How are you keeping his vision alive?

I see myself less as the owner of the J Craft brand, but rather as a temporary custodian of Björn’s original vision. As such, my wife, Kristina, and I, and the whole team led by our chief master builder Johan Hallen, who was here from day 1 since he and Björn started in 1999, accepted the challenge of propelling Björn Jansson’s vision into the 21st century. Painstaking hours of research, design, testing, evaluation, and finally the hand craftsmanship of many members of the original J Craft team resulted in the revolutionary 12.8 m [42 foot] J Craft Torpedo. We unveiled the first J Craft Torpedo to the world in Saint Tropez at Pampelonne Beach on July 19, 2009. While completely rebuilt, both in style and in spirit, the Torpedo remains true to Björn’s original vision of marrying beautiful materials, exquisitely engineered details, distinctive design, and discreet state-of-the-art technology. Tell us a little bit about the Torpedo!

The Torpedo is truly an exquisite combination of craftsmanship, power, and performance. Unrivalled in

The Torpedo’s Swedish-made Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system in combination with her custom-designed hull allows for excellent stability and performance in any sea state, as well as an impressive 280 nautical-mile range. Powered by the IPS, it yields virtually no vibration, noise, or smell. The joystick control allows for confident and effortless maneuvering in port. The quality of the materials we use to build the J Craft Torpedo are second to none, and the build quality is best in class. The Torpedo is regularly taken across the Mediterranean in conditions that other luxury tenders or day boats in that size couldn’t contemplate. True to her Viking heritage, the Torpedo has made some remarkable trips. To give you a few examples, Torpedos have crossed the South China Sea, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Mediterranean, but also the Florida Straits and most recently has made a number of trips among the Hamptons, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard.

You came out with the Acheron in 2020. What’s the story with this boat?

Acheron was the first J Craft Torpedo RS that featured the then newly released Volvo Penta IPS 650 engines, which propelled the Torpedo to speeds close to 50 mph. Acheron is enormously powerful and has been featured extensively in our marketing efforts, which included us documenting by way of a time-lapse video her 8,500 (wo)man-hour build process, which you can find on our Instagram page [@jcraftboats].

You’re coming to the Hamptons this summer. What made this the right time to expand to the East End? Caring for a fine luxury craft should be as easy as

driving it, especially in the case of J Craft. This is why J Craft dedicates itself to providing a refined concierge level of service to our owners. We have learned well; with our Torpedos frequently serving as tenders to some of the world’s most impressive and well-traveled super yachts, we know what it takes to keep our yachts in pristine operating condition across the seven seas. Up until now, we didn’t feel that we were ready for the U.S. But with us moving into our brand-new facilities in Visby, Gotland, Sweden, during 2022, and with the addition of a few select high-quality individuals, both in the U.S. as well as in Europe, we now feel that we can absolutely replicate our total service approach beyond our traditional market in Europe to the U.S. This is the start of what I hope to be a long partnership in the United States. And where better to begin than in the Hamptons? We want the same beauty of J Craft on the Long Island Sound as we have in the Baltic and North seas, as well as the Mediterranean. Can people rent the Torpedos for a day or a weekend? How do they find them?

J Craft Torpedos are rare. As such they’re hard to come by and are rarely offered for rent. On occasion they come up for rent, but that will be done exclusively through ourselves, or one of our distribution partners as our owners are protective of our beautiful gems. You obviously love boating. What is your favorite thing about the experience of the sea?

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

After a career reselling Hèrmes, Respoke founder Michael Tonello came up with the idea to repurpose his designer scarves into espadrilles. He and co-founder Chris Bartick have grown the brand so successfully that they now have stores in luxury destinations around the country, including a new post in Southampton. Bartick tells us how they’ve turned a great idea into a killer business.

By EDDIE ROCHE

How did the idea of Respoke come about?

Having achieved a level of success as a reseller of all things Hermès, Respoke co-founder Michael Tonello began his quest for the ultimate espadrille. [This rather unusual career is detailed in Tonello’s 2008 memoir, Bringing Home the Birkin, now in its 14th printing.] Inspired by years of designer scarf collecting, he came up with the idea to repurpose his iconic scarves into beautiful espadrilles. With the idea in mind that this could turn into something magnificent, and knowing that I have a background in art, graphic design, and branding, Michael approached me with the concept. What were your initial challenges?

The initial challenge was to find production of this unique shoe. Once Michael found someone who would speak to us, he traveled to the birthplace of espadrilles, La Rioja, Spain, and delivered a scarf to our now head of design and production, thinking he may never see it again. The biggest concern was that the silk didn’t carry the rigidity or strength to uphold the structure of the body of the shoe. Additionally, the toe box of the shoe could possibly push through. Some months later, Michael received the package at his home in Barcelona with the first pair of Respoke espadrilles. The silk was backed with cotton canvas for strength, rigidity, and a perfect fit!

What were your next steps after you found the factory? It was time to create the brand! The logo, website, and social media handles were all created. We then decided to place a small

order to test the market and incorporate the branding elements, which happen to be a nod to Spain. We first advertised on Michael’s Facebook page to gauge interest, and we began to sell them!

How was social media helpful in getting the word out?

Beyond the initial Facebook launch, social media has been instrumental in keeping our customers engaged and speaking to the world about our latest products.

Tell us about how a dinner with Fern Mallis at The Polo Bar helped grow the brand.

Michael, having been a friend of Fern’s since his book launch, decided to have dinner with Fern and present her with a pair of Respoke in her size. Her involvement with New York Fashion Week made her a great person to gift the pair to. She absolutely fell in love with the concept and the pair. Shortly thereafter, with her new espadrilles in hand, Fern brought Michael over to the table of some fashion notables that gave us our first big break. Sitting there were Bergdorf Goodman’s Jim Gold and Linda Fargo, alongside Lizzie Tisch, who had just had a highly successful Respoke trunk show the week prior. All immediately became enamored with our product, and Linda offered to order all that we had available for Bergdorf Goodman. Our first order had just sold out! In addition to the sales revenue, Bergdorf’s has given us a lot of street cred in the fashion world.

What stores is the brand sold at today?

We have Respoke stores in Southampton, as well as Provincetown, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and a new location in Charleston. We also sell at Saks Fifth Avenue, Lane Crawford, and Celebrity Beyond and SilverSea cruises via LVMH’s Starboard Cruise.

You’re in some of the most luxurious beach towns in America. Why was it important for you to be in the Hamptons?

Our core product, the espadrille, is considered a luxury resort shoe, and the Hamptons absolutely aligns with the luxury resort aesthetic.

What is the design of the store like?

The 99 Jobs Lane store has a gallery-like feel; it’s an open and airy space featuring all our colorful footwear, clothing, fine art, furniture, and accessories. While we do bring other artists into our stores on a rotating basis, 99 and most of our stores predominantly feature my own mixed-media artwork, which are iconic local images made from acrylic paint and remnant scarves in our shoe-making process.

What makes each pair special?

Every pair is one-of-a-kind because we

use different parts of the scarf for each shoe. Even the left to the right foot will relate visually, but still be unique. Because we use natural materials and repurposed scarves, all our products are one of the best examples of sustainable luxury. Our espadrille construction is so special because each part of the shoe is made by hand with love in different mountain village workshops. These are familyowned craftspeople who pass their skill set down generation after generation.

Where do you look for the vintage pieces?

All over the world, at events and from major auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s. You also make bucket hats. Tell us about them. The bucket hats are great! The base construction is made of linen. Many of them have frayed edging. We then work with U.S. or Spanish artisans to embellish pieces of the designer scarves onto them.

What were you doing before Respoke?

I was spending my summers in Provincetown doing remote freelance graphic design work and living on my sailboat, which is a successful charter business in its own right. Michael and I met because we both were spending summers in P-town. Michael had just finished his book tour. It was a great time in both of our work lives to begin a new venture and adventure.

GENERATIONAL LUXURY

Join the club—the vintage club, that is. What Goes Around Comes Around is blowing out 30 candles on the cake, and the celebrations won’t stop anytime soon. The A-list-adored purveyor of one-of-akind luxury finds recently had one of its biggest moments to date, when it unveiled a museum-worthy (but shoppable!) retrospective of Karl Lagerfeld’s career, accompanied by a Helena Christensen–fronted campaign and a star-studded opening party. The Daily Summer caught up with co-founders Gerard Maione and Seth Weisser to get the low-down on why their brand is still resonating with fashion lovers of all ages.

How did you two meet?

By FREYA DROHAN

Seth Weisser: Gerard and I met at Syracuse. We moved to New York and eventually opened the store in Soho on West Broadway, which is near the location we hold today. You recently opened another flagship, also in Soho.

Weisser: We initially took a pop-up on Wooster Street when we were renovating our store, which was a test of the idea of having two stores in Soho. We saw that it was a uniquely different client pattern, so we signed a long-term lease. To have two flagship stores in the same three blocks is completely unique I guess, but also speaks to how unique our product offerings are and the overall thirst for both pre-owned and luxury. It gives us this incredible footprint to have everything that anybody in the collectible luxury world could ever be looking for. How do you differentiate between the two?

Weisser: As we continue to evolve, it’s the idea that we’re always raising the bar. The [Wooster Street] Atelier, as we call it, expands upon the lifestyle. We’re so comprehensive in the range of clothing, handbags, and accessories, but we’ve always had a love for the aesthetic of furniture and objects, too. Gerard is the creative genius behind the design and interiors. People always ask if the furniture is for sale, and they are all for sale!

What originally put you on the map 30 years ago?

Gerard Maione: If you think about when we started, we were doing Victorian through ’70s. And then, as we evolved into the luxury space, it went into the ’90s and then all of a sudden, you’re at Y2K. We’re always thinking, “What’s that next thing?” And watching where trends are going, where technology is going, and being open-minded.

Weisser: What got us on the map early on was our vintage Levi’s business. We were one of the biggest dealers of collectible Levi’s, and that was huge, particularly internationally. We still do incredible with vintage jeans and T-shirts but have taken off in the pre-owned luxury conversation, and we’re probably doing that better than anybody because we’re keyed into what’s happening in the world, which has attracted the high-fashion customer.

The team of passionate experts we’ve assembled to authenticate also means the customer is always protected and safe.

Tell us about your recent Karl Lagerfeld retrospective. How was the response?

Maione: We planned the retrospective in accordance with building out the store, so it was like a dual mission. Our buyer and her staff were compiling for six months—Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, and Jean Patou— meanwhile, we’re working on the fixtures and installations. It was mindblowing, but I think it was a testament to the brand. In 30 years, I think it was the pinnacle, and it was the biggest response we’ve ever had!

Weisser: It also showed us the strength of our fans and supporters. To be able to have Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner, and Rita Ora there to celebrate when we hosted our opening party, we could never have imagined that. What was it like working with Helena Christensen on the campaign?

Weisser: Helena helped us celebrate our 25th anniversary when we took over the Gianni Versace mansion during Art Basel in 2018. We wanted someone who was a model of that era, so she was a natural choice for this—and she’s a New Yorker! Do you think the obsession with the 1990s and Y2K is here to stay?

Maione: There was such an incredible conglomeration of designers during that time— Gaultier, Galliano, Tom Ford’s Gucci—so there were so many iconic pieces being pushed out. But things will evolve. Even some vintage Carhartt and kind of that street vibe right now is big, and that’s what our younger crew want.

How are those younger customers finding you? Is it through social media?

Weisser: Our powerful social media presence has been a tool, especially for people following us aspirationally, but we’re seeing that generational reality where the kids of our clients, now that we’ve been in business 30 years, are our clients. The Beckhams are a good example; David and Victoria have been with us for a long time, and now [their son] Brooklyn and his wife and the rest of the clan are! The younger generation has greatly embraced buying sustainable and unique pre-owned items that no one else has, and I think it’s a marriage of the two worlds starting to come together in a way that didn’t exist before.

We’re always keen to know, what’ll be the next vintage bag everyone obsesses over?

Weisser: We’re still seeing the Fendi Baguette resonating; it started last year because of the Sex and the City reboot, but it’s still trending because of Lagerfeld. Maione: Pop culture and viral social media trends mean there’s frequent bursts of interest. The Chanel Sport era, which was in the early 2000s, has been selling a lot, because the truth is you don’t see much of it. There’s some cool unique pieces that are perfect for Y2K clients—and they have a decent entry price point; also Prada nylon pieces and the Louis Vuitton Pochette.

What else is in the pipeline?

Weisser: We have some great things coming up at The Atelier. Even though it’s our 30th year, we’re excited about the growth, what’s happening in tech and social, and what’s happening in the sector. We want everyone to know that What Goes Around Comes Around is kind of the club that you want to be part of.

KNOW YOUR abc

When it comes to iconic NYC buildings, there’s the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and 888 Broadway, the longtime home of abc carpet & home. Every New Yorker has at one point stepped foot in this legendary store, which is celebrating 125 years in business this year. Suki LaBarre, vice president of merchandising and e-commerce, and Sid Banon, part of the leadership team at abc, tell us about the early roots of the store and why they’re still so relevant today.

By EDDIE ROCHE

The abc carpet & home store has been around for 125 years. How did the company begin?

SID BANON: abc carpet & home originally started as a pushcart business selling carpets on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In the 1980s, abc moved to our flagship location at 888 Broadway—where we still are today—selling handmade rugs and broadloom carpet. In 1985, abc rebranded from abc carpet to abc carpet & home, expanding our offerings to furniture and decorative accents, with a focus on global and worldly design. Today, we’re still helping bring magic home to customers, both in-store and online, and are proud to have one of the largest and most diverse rug and home collections in the world.

What have been the cornerstones of the store’s longevity?

BANON: We’ve truly become a shopping destination for the NYC community, and for customers from across the country and globe. I think a huge part of that is because we’ve created such a special experience within the store

and have such a diverse collection of pieces; you can truly find anything you need for your home. We’ve always been rooted in craftsmanship, and thoughtfully and ethically source our products with the highest level of quality and detail, which is reflected within our assortment.

How did you mark this special birthday?

BANON: We celebrated with a fun in-store gathering for friends and family of the abc brand. It was a magical night; we were excited to be able to show off the store and celebrate this milestone with a lot of folks who have been a part of our journey over the years.

When did you move to your iconic 888 Broadway location, and how has the store evolved?

BANON: abc carpet & home moved to 888 in 1981, first focusing on carpet and rugs. Since then, we’ve grown our assortment for all areas of the home, including furniture, décor, and accents that can fit any style or space, as well as a selection of artisanal and vintage jewelry. While the magic and nostalgia you can find in our store has remained, we have always been customercentric and have kept customer feedback in mind when it comes to merchandising, the flow of our store, and how we design the different vignettes throughout the space. We always want to make sure we’re creating a seamless shopping experience when they visit our store. You’ve spent significant energy amping up your digital experience. How is the website similar to the in-person experience?

SUKI LABARRE: It’s been an exciting challenge to create a digital experience that captures the magic of the store and the brand itself. Our goal has been to create an immersive website that is as inspiring as it is easy to navigate. We’ve achieved this with rich editorial content, video integration, artisan storytelling, and multiple entry points to interact with our collection. We see the website as a gateway for abc customers, whether they want to shop directly online or use it as a preview to the magic in our stores.

What remains the speciality of abc? Is it still carpet?

LABARRE: Yes, our rug and carpet assortment is unlike any other in the world, including the largest collection of oversize rugs, which we are quite proud of. Each piece is completely one-of-a-kind, exclusive to abc, and has a

special story to tell. Our large in-stock inventory ranges from traditional tribal rugs from Morocco to vibrant overdyes made from recycled sari silks, and Turkish Oushaks whose origins date back to the early 1900s. From modern to traditional and abstract to tribal, we remain true to being curators of rugs and carpets in every size from all around the world.

What are some of the other popular items sold at the store?

LABARRE: Furniture is also a large part of the business. We work with a lot of great partners that our customers love, like Saba and Thayer Coggin, and also have our own upholstery line, Cobble Hill. There are a lot of fun frame and fabric combinations in our Cobble Hill collection that our customers can create that fit any

style. Beautiful dining has also always been an abc staple. We have abcDNA, our exclusive line of vintageinspired glassware and tableware, as well as lovely ceramics and porcelain pieces from Astier de Villatte and Ginori 1735, which our customers love.

What is the abc custom rug studio?

LABARRE: In addition to our large collection of rugs, we have also relaunched our state-of-the-art custom rug and broadloom carpet business should the customer want to design something original. Over the years, abc has cultivated a vast design and sourcing network, which makes it possible for us to customize any rug or carpet design our customer is looking for in any fabric. Tell us about abcFabric.

LABARRE: We introduced abcFabric last year to expand our customer’s design possibilities with more than 950-plus upholstery and drapery options. We offer a variety of different colors and textures, all made with quality materials like linen, cotton, performance, and sustainable blends by the yard.

What’s something your customers would be surprised to know about abc carpet & home?

LABARRE: That our assortment is still ever-expanding across every category. We have one of the biggest rug collections in the world and have a constant flow of new and exclusive arrivals across furniture, jewelry, bedding, décor, and more. And while the store’s physical space may be a bit smaller these days, we’re committed to bringing that same magical experience to our website. How is abc planning to grow in the next 125 years?

BANON: We want to continue to build upon the abc legacy and keep bringing our customers the magic and inspiration that you feel when you walk into our flagship store across all of our channels. Right now, the focus is continuing to create a seamless online experience, while also maintaining the integrity of the in-store brickand-mortar magic. We want to keep working with our artisan and design partners on different in-store events, engage with designers for different opportunities, and introduce the abc brand to even more people.

Unlimited SUCCESS

It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 30th anniversary of Bridgehampton’s Unlimited Earth Care. Founder Frederico Azevedo tells The Daily Summer what it was like opening its doors three decades ago and why this go-to garden and landscape design firm has had such longevity.

By EDDIE ROCHE

Congrats! You are celebrating 30 years of Unlimited Earth Care this year! How does that feel? Thank you. It feels wonderful. I began my firm in 1993, knowing that the Hamptons was the right place to grow a business and share my ideas and aesthetic. When it’s your own business, your own designs, everything is important, and nothing can be left to chance. Unlimited Earth Care has even been able to expand into successful stores and a book, but at the core of what I do is always designing and maintaining beautiful sustainable gardens in full color that continue to make my clients happy for years and years after we first plant them.

How did the idea of Unlimited Earth Care come about?

I studied garden and landscape design in England and the U.S., and by the early ’90s I was secure in my sense of design and my ability to lead and direct a team to carry out my visions. Unlimited Earth Care became a collaboration between myself, my team, and the plants, and we quickly learned to trust one another. While I studied in England and the U.S., I grew up in Brazil during a time where incredible public projects centered on natural design were transforming cities, like Rio de Janeiro, and

so I brought with me these ideas about the experience of space and my own sense of color. Finding a way to interpret my color palettes and ideas about garden design into the environments of the Hamptons and the different properties and lifestyles there is what became the Unlimited Earth Care aesthetic. What was the store like in the early days?

The store has always been great fun. It was my chance to curate a designed, modern selection of planters, furniture, and garden accessories. It was and still is exciting for me to share my finds, like planters in new sustainable materials, sleek watering cans, and minimalist lawn games. It was also a chance for me to meet more people and help them create a stylish outdoor space. Do you remember anything about your first customer and what they bought?

I don’t think about the first customer, but all of the customers that have come in over the years. I’m grateful to all of them. Some customers are clients, dropping by to say hello and see what I have for the season, some are looking for a unique gift and take the time to see everything, some are looking to start an herb or vegetable garden, or

to find something colorful and flowering to cheer them up. Someone may come in looking for hydrangeas and leave with a large sculpture they fell in love with—that’s what makes buying for the store so exciting.

When did you see Unlimited Earth Care really take off?

It was early on, after I designed a very visible garden in the Hamptons, and I went all out with an elaborate custom color palette. Everyone was asking about it, and new projects began coming in. All-white gardens were trendy then, but I was designing in full color and people were excited about it.

Was sustainability a focus 30 years ago?

Yes, it was. I’d say that sustainability has certainly come more into the mainstream in recent years, which is wonderful, but Unlimited Earth Care has always maintained sustainability as a design principle. In the past, I spent more time explaining what a sustainable garden meant, and now people request things, like pollinator gardens and low-maintenance meadows at the beginning of a project.

How do people sign up for your newsletter and what is its content?

To sign up, visit our new website at unlimitedearthcare.com or e-mail info@ unlimitedearthcare.com. I work with an illustrator and writer on the newsletter each week, so a lot of care goes into it; it’s certainly not just a cycle of boring ads. The illustrations or paintings are drawn every week, and it has information about native and well-adapted plants and flowers that thrive in the Hamptons, exciting new items and plants at the store, and general garden advice.

What do you attribute your longevity to?

I am up early and working every day, from dark winter mornings through summer. I design, I visit sites, I work with clients, I spend time in the Garden Market; Unlimited Earth Care is a world, and I work to make it happen every day. I’m also lucky to have such a dedicated team, some of whom have been with me for many years, and wonderful clients who make what I do pleasurable, and many of whom have become my friends.

What are you most proud of when you look back on 30 years in the Hamptons?

I’m proud when I think of all the healthy flowers and trees that are living in Unlimited Earth Care designs throughout the Hamptons, being visited by butterflies and birds. I’m also proud when I consider how many gardens I have designed and then continue

to maintain to this day; it’s something unique about natural design that your work is alive and must be cared for over the years. Of course, I’m most proud of my children, who grew up in the Hamptons and were also a part of Unlimited Earth Care’s journey. When you have your own firm, your family does become a part of everything, and I’m grateful for their support and love over the years. What do you want the next 30 years to look like?

More gardens, more color, more flowers! I will continue to expand Unlimited Earth Care, and to expand the Garden Market and the Garden Concept store. I’m also considering writing another book in the near future.

The Hamptons is so unique. Do you think you could have achieved this kind of success anywhere else in the world?

I couldn’t say. I have also been working in Palm Beach in recent years. The Hamptons is a special place with a fragile and beautiful environment. You can feel the ocean breeze from the fields and farms, and the woods are full of animals. The soil is good here; it’s a place where life flourishes.

Anything new we should know about this summer at Unlimited Earth Care?

The Garden Market has grown since last year, so I hope that everyone stops by to see what we have. Herb and vegetable gardens have become popular lately, so those who love to cook or who are hoping to learn about gardening on an accessible scale should come visit us at 2249 Scuttle Hole Road in Bridgehampton.

We always like to check in on your dog! How’s the pup?

Louis is very well, thank you! He had quite a high attendance at his recent birthday party! He loves summer in the Hamptons and is looking forward to walks through my garden and barbecues on the patio.

GORGEOUS GARDEN Unlimited Earth Care was founded in 1993 as a garden and landscape design firm committed to sustainable, colorful designs using native and well-adapted plants and flowers.

How else does this property stand out? Its location. It’s tucked away on a quiet flag lot, and it’s just a few minutes walk to either the ocean or Newtown Lane.

What nearby spots are you a fan of?

The main attraction to me is Two Mile Hollow Beach. Grab a sandwich at Rosie’s in Amagansett and head down for a spectacular beach day.

Love it or hate it, everyone is talking about this summer’s buzziest and most controversial new show, The Idol on HBO. Starring Lily-Rose Depp and Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd), the series looks at the darker side of Hollywood through the eyes of Euphoria creator Sam Levinson. The Daily Summer recently talked to the series costume designer, Natasha Newman-Thomas, to get the scoop on how she created the edgy looks.

By EDDIE ROCHE

Fashion plays a role in every show. What did the clothes add to this story?

From a sociological perspective, clothes tell so much on an instant read about any person in real life or in fiction. We wanted to embrace that concept by using the clothes to help develop the characters and figure out what we wanted to say with each character and how to say it with the clothes.

How involved was Lily-Rose Depp in the creative process when it comes to her wardrobe?

Lily is amazing. She comes from a family of fashion royalty and has a wealth of knowledge of designers and vintage. It’s beautiful and rare to collaborate with someone who understands the references that I’m bringing to the table. It’s a collaboration with all the actors, but it was a heightened experience with Lily because she knows so much about fashion.

What was your initial meeting like?

We started with a marathon fitting, trying on so many different looks to try to work out the character together in real time. We didn’t have all the scripts at that point. We wanted to create a closet and a vibe for the character. She came in and we did a sixhour fitting to find out what’s working and what isn’t, and for me to get to know her body and all the ins and outs. We were pretty much on the same page from the jump. Lily’s so synonymous with Chanel as a brand ambassador. Does she wear any Chanel on the show? Chanel was gracious in working with us. In real life, I have everyday jewelry that I always wear, and we used Chanel as a resource for that. There’s a ring that [the character] Jocelyn wears in pretty much every scene. It’s part of her, and that’s a Chanel ring.

The show is very sexual. How did you use her costumes to express her sexuality? She makes it easy! She makes things sexy. That’s part of the character. Some things are easier to lean into than others. An old T-shirt can be sexy with the right attitude. What other designers did you put Lily in?

We used a lot of vintage and some contemporary designers. I love vintage Gaultier a lot. There’s an iconic moment of her in a Margiela gown. She wore a lot of Jimmy Choo shoes, vintage Balenciaga shoes. The full spectrum!

The character is a pop star. What were your inspirations?

We had boards I made that I distributed to everyone in the wardrobe department. I had Madonna’s Sex book on my desk if anyone wanted to take a look and get inspired. I asked everyone to watch Thierry Mugler’s Fall/Winter ’95 runway show, where James Brown comes out at the end. Every look that comes out is more iconic than the last. The minute Abel Tesfaye appears on-screen you get an idea of who this guy is because of his costume. What were you going for with his look?

Like Lily, we wanted to create a totally unique character that isn’t completely referential. I like the way Mickey Rourke’s style has an unwavering confidence about it. We wanted to bring that to the Tedros character. He wore a lot of vintage. We brought some designer elements, like a Gucci belt. He wore Saint Laurent trousers. Saint Laurent feels vintage.

Idol WAYS

Let’s talk about the supporting actors. The show has Jane Adams, Dan Levy, and Hank Azaria. What actor was most involved when it came to creating their character’s look?

Everyone was so lovely to work with. Jane Adams is such a legendary actor and gets so deep into the character that she and I were constantly texting about the looks. She had great ideas. I expressed to the actors that they could contact me at any time if they had ideas and she definitely took that to heart. If she had a moment of inspiration in the middle of the night, she’d shoot me a text about it and I’d wake up and we’d end up riffing. That was a real treat to get to work with someone who was thinking about the wardrobe as an extension of the character and was so committed to it.

Where did you shop for these characters?

For this show it was H.Lorenzo, Dover Street Market, but I also have my favorite vintage shops like Scout, Aralda Vintage, and Replica, which is an appointment-only store. The owner is an absolute fashion encyclopedia.

There’s a lot of controversy around the show. Did you expect that when you were shooting it?

Everyone on set knew we were making something unique and special, and that usually comes with controversy!
