MONSE Makes Its Hamptons Debut With an Intimate Summer Celebration in Water Mill
MONSE made its Hamptons debut on August 8, with an intimate summer celebration hosted by Devorah Rose at a private residence in Water Mill. The evening honored MONSE Co-Founders and Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, bringing together a stylish mix of leaders and tastemakers from fashion, entertainment, beauty, media, and culture.
The evening offered guests an intimate introduction to MONSE’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection, while highlighting the brand’s signature approach to modern American Style. The private residence was transformed to reflect the collection, with oversized sunflowers, tiered silver platters filled with cherries, and thoughtful details inspired by MONSE’s hand-drawn cherry motif.
Among the evening’s notable guests were Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, Stacey Bendet, Sailor Brinkley Cook, Jenny Mollen, Alexandra Richards, Lilly Hartley, Alexander Hankin, and Macrene Alexiades who joined Rose, Kim, and Garcia for the summer celebration.
Set beneath a striking white tent, the gathering was designed with the relaxed elegance of a Hamptons summer evening in mind. Guests enjoyed seasonal cocktails and champagne while exploring an abundant grazing table featuring fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, cherries, and Keluga caviar, with ingredients from FreshDirect bringing the display together.
The evening’s details continued to complement the fashion. Tamara Comolli Jewelry brought its signature colorful gemstones to the celebration, giving guests the opportunity to explore effortless pieces and unexpected pairings. A Malfy Gin cart served its signature Malfy Spritz, while Bloom Natural Energy Drink and Low Light Gin added to the selection of refreshments throughout the night.
As the sun began to set over Water Mill, guests were invited to experience the collection more closely through a private MONSE styling suite. Surrounded by crimson cherries that echoed the collection’s signature motif, guests explored a curated selection of MONSE’s current and upcoming designs in a more intimate setting.
For Devorah Rose, the evening reflected her signature approach to entertaining, bringing together fashion, culture, and conversation in a setting that felt both elevated and welcoming. The carefully considered details allowed the collection to remain at the center of the evening while creating an experience that felt personal and distinctly Hamptons.
More than a traditional collection presentation, the celebration offered a glimpse into the world of MONSE and the creative vision of Kim and Garcia. From the fashion to the setting, every element came together to celebrate individuality, modern style, and the art of summer entertaining.
With its memorable guest list, thoughtful details, and relaxed sophistication, MONSE’s Hamptons debut was a fitting introduction to its Pre-Fall 2026 collection and another standout summer evening in Water Mill.
