I’m writing a screenplay! I’m adapting my favorite book, Maybe the Moon, by amazing writer Armistead Maupin, who wrote Tales of the City. I’m obviously still doing things with people I love, like Longchamp; I had a shoot with Adidas out last month. I love creating. It pours out of me. I’ve gone on job

These commitments are really a marriage; I don’t want to be in a bad marriage. I could do my own thing. It’s there if I want to, but I don’t really want that burden on my shoulders. I’d like to express myself creatively in another way for the time being.
Do you feel less stressed since you aren’t putting out as much?
I loved working. I’m like an Olympic athlete in that I’m fine with that crazy schedule. This is like when Michael Phelps wasn’t training and eating pizza. Maybe I’m in that phase right now! I’m off. I don’t have to worry. I’ve also tried to trade it in for other things, like

The industry isn’t as fun since you left Moschino.
It’s not! I agree with you. I think that’s a big problem for the industry itself. It’s also not my responsibility to educate people about that, or why they’re all so stale. Sometimes I look at myself like an actor who is taking a bit of a hiatus. You’ll all remember why you were supposed to love me when I come back, because you took me for granted a little bit.

beyond! It’s the latest trendy edible ingredient for your face, like matcha before it. Per research firm Fresha, searches for “banana skin care” increased by 22 percent in the past few months and recent product launches include Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Beauty’s Caramelized Banana Peptide Lip Treatment (Justin’s fave, apparently), Glossier x Magnolia Bakery’s Banana Pudding Balm Dotcom, and Prada Lip Balm in Banana Yellow. The latter is inspired by Prada’s Spring ’11 banana print, proving Miuccia is always ahead of the curve!

Our fave cover of the summer is W Magazine’s Summer Issue starring Gisele Bündchen. The iconic Brazilian supermodel, who’s fronted W a whopping 15 times, returns to the mag after nearly two decades. Shot by Karim Sadli and styled by Brian Molloy, Bündchen wears the hell out of Michael Rider’s Celine on the cover, and inside the issue, she shares fun stories behind the many W covers she graced from 1999 to 2007.

WINNER’S
CIRCLE The Daily Front Row’s 10th-annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards were held this spring at the famed Beverly Hills Hotel. The show celebrates fashion insiders who have often worked behind the scenes without fanfare. Until now! This year’s honorees were Carolyn Murphy (Beauty Icon), Brooks Nader (Breakthrough Fashion Talent), Courtney Mays (Sports Stylist of the Year), Kelsey Deenihan Fisher (Makeup Artist of the Year), Mara Roszak (Hair Stylist of the Year), Mark Holmes (Men’s Stylist of the Year), Sam Woolf (Music Stylist of the Year), Andrea Lieberman of A.L.C. (Powerhouse Brand of the Year), and Zaldy (Lifetime Achievement Award). Noah Wyle, who knows a thing or two about awards, was on hand to present his recent red carpet collaborator Mark Holmes with the Men’s Stylist of the Year award. “I’m thrilled to be here,” The Pitt star said. “Mark asked me to present this, and

I thought, ‘Sure, that would be like presenting an award to your stuntman for pulling off a stunt that makes you look super cool or a makeup artist who does some sort of prosthetic that gets you an Academy Award.’ But then [I thought to myself], ‘It’s not really the same because most people know I have a stuntman and know that I have a makeup artist. Not that many people know that we have stylists.’ And to admit that we have stylists is to admit that without them we wouldn’t be the fashion plates that we see before us.” While accepting his award, Holmes admitted, “To be honest, I’ve always felt a bit like an outsider in the fashion world. Probably because I set out to be a rock star, which is why tonight, I’m

incredibly humbled to be recognized by my peers and by The Daily Front Row. The way we see ourselves is a really personal thing, and I don’t take that lightly. So, Noah—I’m truly honored that you’ve trusted me along the way with this process.”
THE HOST
During the ceremony, which was presented by Moroccanoil, LAGOS, Lavazza, Nicole Miller, and DAOU Vineyards, Tiffany Haddish kept the well-heeled crowd laughing as the evening’s hilarious host. “I got my makeup done, my hair done, and I got this expensive dress on to
come here and make you laugh, okay?” she said. “Tonight should be the 11th anniversary of the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, but they had to skip a year because of COVID. Remember? There was no fashion that year. In COVID times, even Tom Ford was sitting at home in Old Navy pajama bottoms.”
THE HEADLINER
RuPaul honored Zaldy, the costume designer behind the gorgeous gowns worn by Ru on the Emmy Award– winning RuPaul’s Drag Race, with the Lifetime Achievement Award. “Zaldy was at my house earlier today,” RuPaul shared. “We were
marveling at the costumes. I keep them all. Everything Zaldy has made for me, I still have. In fact, we were looking at something that he made for me for The Arsenio Hall Show. This outfit is from 1993. And we marveled at the creativity and how it’s still together. It’s still clever and fashionable and funny because the one we’re talking about is a watermelon, two sides of a watermelon. And it’s absolutely gorgeous. And I brought it to the studio because I want to wear it again. I keep everything because they are so beautiful. We met in 1988, at a club in New York City. We were that. All these years later, my friend is still doing it.”
Before the ceremony got underway, Zaldy said it was a pinch-me moment having longtime collaborator RuPaul present him with a Lifetime Achievement Award. “We’ve been working together since the song ‘Supermodel (You Better Work),’ which was more than 30 years ago,” Zaldy reflected. “The work we’re doing now together, it’s evolved into something that we could have never imagined would be this worldwide. What a joy to be able to do this together after so long. It’s not something I take lightly to have someone who believes in your creative relationship, and just continually wants to work together.”

ChicMOMENTS THE AWARDS Chrissy Teigen presented Brooks
Nader (star of the upcoming Baywatch reboot) with the Breakthrough Fashion Talent award. “I remember when I first heard your name,” she told Nader. “My husband, John [Legend], was on his phone, and he goes, ‘Instagram keeps suggesting that I follow this girl.’ This was five years ago. I was like, ‘Oh, let me see. What is your algorithm?’ It was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen with the biggest, brightest smile. And I couldn’t even be mad, honestly, because my whole algorithm is, like, sexy Peaky Blinders [and] Cillian
Murphy.” She paused. “Sorry, Luna. My daughter is here. It’s her 10th birthday. I’m just joking, but I do love Cillian Murphy.” The Love Thy Nader star then addressed Teigen. “This is such a fullcircle moment for me,” she admitted. “I will never forget being in my room in South Louisiana, flipping through the pages of Sports Illustrated and being so in awe of you as a model and as a mother. You’ve been on my mood board from day one. It seemed so impossible that could be something I could ever achieve.” Nader kept close to her sisters, Sarah Jane and Mary Holland, and their parents, who flew in from Louisiana. “The
Daily has such a special place in my heart,” Nader said. “You were the first magazine to put my sisters and [me] on a cover. To come back here with this honor and accept this award and all the predecessors and people who have gotten this award prior to me are people that I look up to and admire. It’s such a humbling experience.” Basketballer Chris Paul presented his off-the-court collaborator Courtney Mays with Sports Stylist of the Year. “I first started working with Court back when I was in New Orleans, probably around 2009,” Paul said. “And from the very beginning, I knew she was different, very different. In the best way possible. It wasn’t just

that she had great taste or the fact that my tie had to be tied just perfect every single time. It was that she understood me. She paid attention to the details. Every detail. She understood how I wanted to present myself, how I wanted to feel, and how style could be a part of my identity on and off the court.” “When I was thinking about what to say tonight, I kept coming back to the history of style in sports—the confidence, the diversity, the ingenuity, the swag across all leagues,” Mays said. “Athletes have always been cultural leaders; they’ve always influenced how we see luxury, individuality, gender identity, size inclusivity, and authentic expression. However, when I started, athletes weren’t centered and valued in fashion the way they are now, and there was definitely no road map for what it meant to build a fashion identity in sports. I’m proud to be a pioneer in merging the worlds— advocating for what doesn’t yet exist, pushing when people want to play it safe—and making sure I never let the door close behind me.” Zoe Saldaña feted Hair Stylist of the Year winner Mara Roszak via video, which prompted the honoree to say, “I’ve been getting so emotional, listening to these incredible peers of mine who give all to their work. [They’re the] hardest working, most inspiring. I have chills. [These] artists that create around me, create beauty, not because of vanity, but because it means something to live in a world surrounded by beauty and artistry.” Gwen Stefani—on hand to honor A.L.C. designer Andrea Lieberman with the Powerhouse Brand of the Year award—took a moment to reflect on her own early style origins. “I love fashion,” she said. “I’m from Orange County, California. I used to make a lot of my own clothes growing up.” Lieberman dedicated her award to her daughter, Paloma. “This one is for you,” she told her. “I started this company when I was pregnant with you, and now you’re 18 and you’re going off to college, which is [a lot] to process. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful. It’s such a huge milestone, not just for me, but for both of us.” Hilary Duff shined a light on Kelsey Deenihan Fisher, who received the award for Makeup Artist of the Year. “Our friendship began like all healthy and lasting relationships do—on Instagram,” Duff joked. “A friend showed me her page and was like, ‘I would do anything to have her do my makeup.’ Then I got the chance to have Kelsey do my makeup, and that pretty much ruined me. I looked in the mirror, and I was like, ‘I’m stunning. No notes. What did you do to me?’ ” Deenihan Fisher later told Duff, “I have spent the past two decades trying to re-create your glow on every client I’ve ever had. It’s a full circle moment for both my kit and my soul.” DAILYFRONTROW.COM

Photographer Zoey Grossman honored Carolyn Murphy as Beauty Icon. “If you had told me one day that I would have the honor of presenting The Daily Front Row’s first-ever Beauty Icon award to the absolute superwoman who is Carolyn Murphy, I would not have believed you,” Grossman said. “Carolyn has been on just about every mood board that I’ve ever made. She’s worked with photographers we’re all in awe of. She is the image.” For her part, Murphy said she believes beauty goes far beyond what meets the eye. “I was like, How do I stand up there and receive an award as a standard of beauty when it’s so much more than that, at least to me?” she wondered aloud. “When I meet people, when I engage with people, it’s really about…I want to see you. I want to see your heart. I want to see your soul.” Doechii honored Sam Woolf with Music Stylist of the Year. “Sam has this rare ability to see people clearly— sometimes before the rest of the world does,” she said, sharing that they’ve been collaborating on looks for the red carpet and onstage performances for many years. “He saw me at a time when not many other stylists were willing to. When designers weren’t exactly fighting to dress me, when playing it safe would’ve been the easier choice, Sam didn’t play it safe. He took risks. He bet on me.” Woolf told a heartwarming story about what it took to be where he is today and advised the audience, “To anyone who has ever had a dream, if you don’t get something, you keep going, work hard, stay consistent, and don’t ever give up.”

After a hugely successful stint designing with Tommy Hilfiger, Gigi Hadid took many of the lessons she learned as a guest co-designer with the iconic brand and created her own line, Guest In Residence. Now, people—or should we say guests— can’t get enough! By EDDIE ROCHE Photography by RASMUS WENG KARLSEN
DAILYFRONTROW.COM
As one of fashion’s most recognizable faces, Gigi Hadid has fronted campaigns for luxury houses such as Miu Miu, Versace, and Max Mara, among countless others, and appeared on the cover of American Vogue five times. But after spending years on the runway and in front of the camera, the model-turned-entrepreneur set her sights on conquering another side of the industry. When the pandemic brought a rare pause to her busy schedule, Hadid retreated to her family’s farm in Pennsylvania, where the idea for a new venture began to take shape. Inspired by fond memories of borrowing cashmere sweaters from her parents, she envisioned a brand based on longevity rather than trends. Her aim was to create colorful, high-quality pieces designed to stand the test of time—what she
“This season reimagines a wardrobe you return to instinctively—the pure joy of color, comfort, and cashmere.”
describes as “future heirlooms,” meant to be cherished and passed down for generations. That inspiration, along with a desire to spend more time at home with her daughter, Khai, led to the creation of her cashmere-focused label, Guest In Residence, in September 2022. “The genesis of Guest In Residence was to create cashmere classics that anyone can love, style, wear, cherish, and share with loved ones,” Hadid explains. “It’s personal, purposeful, and rooted in connection.” The brand’s initial offering included a lineup of wardrobe staples—cardigans, hoodies, joggers, tanks, scarves, and beanies—at a better price point than many of the traditional labels in this category. It centered on everyday essentials, offering versatile, comfortable pieces designed to be worn on repeat and integrated into daily life. The latest collection puts a fresh spin on nautical dressing through stripes rendered in varied widths and proportions. “This season reimagines a wardrobe you return to instinctively—the pure joy of color, comfort, and cashmere,” Hadid says. “We explore a dialogue between sport and softness, lived-in layers, and silhouettes that carry a sense of memory. Our favorite inspirations collide in nautical stripes, retro color palettes, and novelty prints, like gingham and plaid. It’s familiar yet full of possibility.” As for the Guest In Residence brand name, Hadid says it reflects a philosophy that people are temporary guests in most aspects of our lives. “I reflected on the idea that we are all guests on this planet—in our bodies, in our travels, and in our clothes,” she says. “I love the idea of clothing being passed down through hands and the lives the pieces have lived before me: a revolving intergenerational door of life.” Almost four years in, the buzzy label has proven its staying power. With flagship stores in both New York and Los Angeles, the brand also has a presence in the Hamptons through retailers Elyse Walker, TENET, and Annabel The Shop. Guest In Residence has steadily expanded its footprint. If current momentum is any indication, all signs indicate it will be In Residence for years to come.

CENCOUNTERS LOSE Dinner and a show is the M.O. at Parisian haute spot Maison Close in Soho. This summer, co-owners Cole Bernard, Theliau Probst, and Thibaut Castet have taken the show on the road Out East and added a South of France flavor with the debut of Maison Close Southampton. By ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV
What’s the backstory of Maison Close? Cole Bernard: We have a location in Soho that’s been open for four years, and this
will be our long-term summer home in Southampton at the Capri hotel. Theliau Probst: With Maison Close, we like to make our guests feel like they’ve traveled; the dishes are Parisian, and dinner turns into cabaret night—a singer shows up in the middle of dinner and goes table to table, then there’s a cabaret show. Gradually the vibe turns up and it becomes a lively evening of dancing. Now, we’re translating this to Southampton, while keeping the items that are popular Parisian classics at Maison Close in Soho, like classic gnocchi with morels and the escargot. But we’re adding a little summery South of France twist.
Maison Close in Soho
What will be unique to the Southampton outpost? Probst: We’re doing a collab with jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher; she’s creating a
cocktail with us, and a summery salad we’ve named the Hamptons Chopped Salad by Jennifer Fisher. We also have a nice outdoor patio and the pool in Southampton, while still keeping our roots by bringing guests to a cabaret night experience, with a singer, a burlesque show, and dancing afterward.
How did you land on the location? Bernard: The Capri is a unique property, and different nightlife concepts and
restaurants have come through its doors, so we’ve seen the good and the bad there, but we felt that taking our elevated Parisian concept and swinging it toward a South of France feel would be a big hit in Southampton specifically. Probst: Also, a lot of our clients at Maison Close have houses in Southampton or East Hampton, so it made more sense to do it closer to where they are out here.
Tell us about your spots farther east, too. Bernard: Yes, we have sister properties in Montauk that are in the same building;
Talya restaurant is downstairs and our nightlife concept, Bounce, is upstairs. Talya was at Ruschmeyers in 2023, and we’ve wanted to resurrect it in Montauk for quite some time.
What are your fave Hamptons haunts? Bernard: I love Montauk’s beaches, especially around Ditch Plains because it’s quiet
and you get lots of surf action there. I love how Montauk is such a fisherman town; Bennett Shellfish on South Debusy Road has the most incredible lobster roll, and The Inlet on East Lake Drive has this old-school fisherman’s spot feel I love; it’s delicious for lunch. If I want something more upscale and fun for daytime, Duryea’s is my go-to. And for dinner, Talya and Mavericks are my top two spots. Probst: I always go to Marram in Montauk with my girlfriend and my dogs.
Maison Close Southampton’s chic feel, outside (above right) and inside (below)
So I’d order the heirloom tomato salad, the gnocchi, and escargot—keep it very Parisian. Our chef, Geoffrey Lechantoux, is amazing; he worked alongside Alain Ducasse for a long time, and he added his own little twist to the escargot. There’s tomato concassé in the sauce, so it tastes different than escargot you’d get in a typical bistro. And obviously, we’re Out East so you need to have some fresh seafood. Our seafood towers are easily shareable, so I’d get that for the table. For main courses, I’d get the striped bass dish for one person, or the whole roasted branzino to share for the table. The branzino and our popular whole chicken with morel mushrooms are both carved tableside; it’s all part of the experience.
How would you describe it? Probst: The service and atmosphere are like a five-star hotel. You almost don’t have
to touch your plate, because everyone is doing everything for you. You’re handled properly from A to Z, from the door to the table to when you leave. It’s a friendly atmosphere, and clients often hug their waiters when they leave. Also, we treat our clients like they’re our best friends we haven’t seen for 10 years who are finally coming back to see us! DAILYFRONTROW.COM

What should we order at Maison Close Southampton? Probst: Sharing is caring, and we love big tables and a celebratory atmosphere!

A TASTE OF
SUMMER
Every year, someone declares that the Hamptons has peaked. And every year, the Hamptons politely ignores them. Summer 2026 has arrived alongside a fresh crop of openings, reinventions, and experiences that prove the East End remains remarkably adept at reinventing the wheel, yet still serves us the same old-timey nostalgia we all know and love. Whether you’re spending the summer in Southampton, weekends in Sag Harbor, or simply plotting your annual migration Out East, here’s everywhere we’re eating this season! By ELIZABETH KURPIS

BABE’S (SAG HARBOR)
Swifty’s at The Hedges Inn
Chelsea Living Room at Gurney’s
What started as a hush-hush diner opening on Division Street has quickly become one of Sag Harbor’s most talked-about destinations, thanks largely to word-ofmouth buzz and a steady stream of devoted regulars. The tiny eight-seat spot from Julian Cavin, Martine Langatta, and Jonny Shipes has developed a cult following for its elevated take on diner classics, including a candy-bacon egg and cheese on an everything-seasoned kaiser roll, locally sourced produce from Quail Hill and Balsam Farms, and a banana milkshake inspired by the legendary Cyril’s. Prepare to wait, but so worth it!
TALYA (MONTAUK)
After first earning a following during its pop-up run at Ruschmeyers, Talya has found a permanent home on the Montauk beachfront. The restaurant blends Greek flavors with subtle French influences, resulting in a menu of seafood-forward dishes, vibrant Mediterranean ingredients, and elevated coastal fare. Highlights include wild striped bass wrapped in vine leaves, crab orzo, and kebabs served with currants and pistachios, all enjoyed against one of Montauk’s most enviable waterfront settings.
TUTTO CAFFÈ (BRIDGEHAMPTON)
Alba Spiaggia at Montauk Yacht Club
Babe’s in Sag Harbor
Gabby Karan de Felice is expanding her beloved Tutto il Giorno family with the debut of Tutto Caffè, a casual all-day concept opening this summer in the former Golden Pear space (yessss, please). Designed as a relaxed complement to the popular restaurant’s Hamptons outposts, the new café promises Italian-inspired coffee, pastries, light fare, and an easygoing atmosphere perfect for a quick breakfast, leisurely lunch, or afternoon espresso break. A longtime Sag Harbor favorite is entering a new chapter under the ownership of restaurateurs Kelly and John Piccinnini, the husband-and-wife team behind Clam Bar and Sett Coffee. While preserving the beloved neighborhood character that has made The Corner a Main Street institution, the refreshed concept introduces design updates, an elevated comfort-food menu, and a renewed focus on local flavor. Expect classics like burgers and fish and chips alongside regional craft beers, chic interiors, and subtle nods to Sag Harbor’s maritime heritage, all while maintaining the warm atmosphere that has made The Corner a gathering place for generations.

JEAN’S BEACH AT OLD STOVE PUB (SAGAPONACK)
Although the historic Old Stove Pub remains under renovation following its acquisition by the team behind downtown favorite Jean’s, the property is already generating anticipation for what’s to come. This summer, Jean’s Beach will host a series of intimate field dinners featuring acclaimed chefs from some of New York City’s most sought-after restaurants, offering guests an early taste of the culinary vision planned for the beloved Hamptons landmark.
MIRACLE (SAG HARBOR)
Sag Harbor native and veteran restaurateur Michael Nolan is returning to his roots with the opening of Miracle, a new restaurant on Main Street that blends modern American cuisine with a warm neighborhood feel. Located in the former Vin Sur Vingt space, the year-round destination will feature seasonal dishes crafted by acclaimed chef Jesus Gonzales, alongside inviting interiors inspired by traditional English pub culture. With deep local ties and a thoughtful approach to hospitality, Miracle is poised to become one of Sag Harbor’s most anticipated new dining spots of the summer.
DANTE X THE PRIDWIN (SHELTER ISLAND)
A trip to Shelter Island is getting even more tempting this summer, thanks to a new partnership between The Pridwin and iconic Greenwich Village cocktail destination Dante. Throughout the season, hotel guests can sip their way through a specialty cocktail menu inspired by Dante’s award-winning bar program, all while taking in the waterfront views that have made The Pridwin an East End favorite for generations. Be sure to mark your calendar for Sunday evenings, when the property will host the Mahjong & Martinis series, a stylish weekly gathering that pairs expertly crafted cocktails with a little friendly competition and plenty of old-school summer charm.
CHELSEA LIVING ROOM AT GURNEY’S (MONTAUK)
One of downtown Manhattan’s buzziest nightlife destinations is bringing its signature after-hours energy to Montauk this summer with a seasonal residency at Gurney’s. Taking over the resort’s oceanfront Dune Lounge, Chelsea Living Room will transform the space into a stylish late-night gathering spot complete with rotating DJs, a martini-focused cocktail menu, and elevated bites, including caviar service, lobster toast, and other shareable favorites. With cozy candlelit vibes, sweeping ocean views, and an atmosphere that evolves from relaxed sunset cocktails to lively late-night soirées, it’ll surely become one of Montauk’s most coveted nightlife spots this season.
Camp Rubirosa in East Hampton
The Pridwin on Shelter Island
CAMP RUBIROSA (EAST HAMPTON)
What began as one of last summer’s most sought-after reservations is officially becoming an East End mainstay. Following a sold-out debut season, Camp Rubirosa is back for good, bringing the iconic Mulberry Street restaurant to its Race Lane location. Guests can once again look forward to those tie-dye pizzas, ItalianAmerican favorites, and the nostalgic camp-inspired atmosphere that quickly made it a favorite last summer.
ALBA SPIAGGIA AT MONTAUK YACHT CLUB (MONTAUK)
Montauk Yacht Club is ushering in a new era of waterfront dining with the debut of Alba Spiaggia, a coastal Italian restaurant overlooking Lake Montauk. Replacing the former Ocean Club, the new concept from Prince Street Hospitality celebrates the flavors of the Italian seaside with house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood, vibrant seasonal dishes, and an atmosphere designed to linger from long lunches into sunset dinners. With dockside views, open-fire cooking, and a distinctly Mediterranean spirit, Alba Spiaggia is it this summer.
THE TUSK BAR AT MOBY’S (EAST HAMPTON)
One of downtown Manhattan’s favorite cocktail destinations is returning to the Hamptons for a second summer residency at Moby’s. Bringing its signature hospitality, The Tusk Bar will once again take over the East Hampton hot spot with a rotating menu of seasonal cocktails, a front-facing oyster station, and the kind of convivial energy that makes it difficult to stop at just one drink. Consider it a welcome taste of the city without having to sit through Sunday traffic to get there! DAILYFRONTROW.COM
ForkingFABULOUS SWIFTY’S AT THE HEDGES INN (EAST HAMPTON)
The Hedges Inn is home to Swifty’s, and following its breakout first season, the restaurant and bar have been reimagined as part of David Netto’s sweeping redo of the property, creating a more vibrant and visually immersive dining experience. A redesigned bar and a stronger connection between indoor/outdoor spaces make for a setting that feels both lively and elegant from morning coffee through evening cocktails and dinner.
SUNLIFE ORGANICS (SAG HARBOR)
One of the season’s most talked-about openings arrives in the former home of Estia’s Little Kitchen, the beloved neighborhood spot that served Sag Harbor for nearly three decades. The California-born wellness brand brings its cult-favorite smoothies, açaí bowls, tonics, and health-focused lifestyle ethos to the East End, adding a distinctly West Coast energy to Sag Harbor. Whether you’re stopping in after a workout, grabbing a smoothie before the beach, or simply curious about the brand that has attracted celebrity devotees from Malibu to Miami, SunLife is poised to become one of the summer’s most buzzed-about new arrivals.
BAR RÊVE AT CANOE PLACE INN
(HAMPTON BAYS)
For one week this July, Brooklyn’s buzzy cocktail destination Bar Rêve will bring a touch of Belle Époque Paris to Canoe Place Inn with a limited-time residency at the historic Hampton Bays location.

The service offers a seamless alternative to commercial travel, allowing passengers to move between two of the country’s most coveted seasonal destinations with ease. Consider it the ultimate luxury travel hack for anyone determined to maximize both their Hamptons weekends and Palm Beach social calendar. ATTITUDE NEW YORK (All Hamptons) The Hamptons’ preferred transportation service for celebrities, executives, and discerning travelers is making summer traffic slightly more bearable with a new concierge-style offering. This season, Attitude New York will pick up food orders from E.A.T. on behalf of passengers at no additional charge, ensuring breakfast, lunch, dinner, or road-trip snacks are waiting in the car upon arrival. It’s a small touch, perhaps, but one that feels particularly appreciated somewhere around the middle of the Long Island Expressway. BUNJI BOX SAUNA (All Hamptons) Move over, pickleball! Saunas are quickly becoming the Hamptons’ wellness obsession. For those who don’t have one built into their basement, Bunji Box Sauna offers the next best thing: a mobile, wood-fired cedar barrel sauna delivered directly to your home, rental, or event. The family-owned company pairs its traditional Finnish-inspired sauna experience with optional cold plunges and guided contrast-therapy sessions, allowing guests to enjoy one of wellness’s hottest trends without lifting more than a finger. Equal parts restorative ritual and crowd-pleasing party amenity, it’s one of the more unexpected luxuries popping up across the East End this summer.

Members can choose from everything from sleek day cruisers and Jet Skis to larger yachts for entertaining, all without the responsibilities of ownership. The service has quickly become one of the season’s most coveted lifestyle perks, providing a turnkey way to enjoy the East End’s boating culture whenever the mood, or weather forecast, strikes. Even better, select memberships now include access to vessels in Palm Beach, making it easier than ever to maintain the East Coast boating lifestyle.

Southampton is a beloved oasis for Jumelle Collection co-founders (and twins!) Katherine Rosbottom and Elizabeth Rosbottom, and a key influence for their feminine, elegant designs. By ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV How long have you two been going out East? Katherine Rosbottom: We’ve lived in Southampton for
20 years, and our lives in Southampton and New York City have become inseparable. Southampton is our backyard—a quiet retreat just 90 miles from the city, offering a welcome reprieve from the pace and energy of our New York lives. We often refer to it as “the back and forth,” a rhythm that allows us to enjoy the best of both worlds. It’s a seamless balance between the vibrancy of the city and the tranquility of the coast.
How does the area shape your creative process? Katherine: Southampton has been a source of
Does the Hamptons’ serenity inform your designs differently than NYC’s energy? Katherine: The contrast is at the heart of everything
we create. New York brings energy, movement, sophistication, and a sense of purpose, and we’re constantly inspired by city life’s culture, architecture, fashion, and rhythm. Southampton offers the opposite—a sense of calm, ease, and understated

beauty. That balance naturally finds its way into our designs; silhouettes are refined and polished, reflecting the sophistication of New York, yet they’re designed with an effortless ease that speaks to life in Southampton. We gravitate toward clean lines and timeless shapes that feel equally appropriate for a city dinner or a weekend by the water. Our color palettes are often influenced by the natural landscape of Southampton—the blues of the ocean and hydrangeas, the soft greens of the dunes, the sandy neutrals of the beach, and the changing light throughout the seasons. New York inspires the sharper, more tailored elements of our collections, and the confidence with which our pieces are worn. Ultimately, our design aesthetic lives
in the space between the two—polished but relaxed, sophisticated but approachable, timeless yet modern.
What’s in the Hamptons wardrobe of a Jumelle Collection woman? Elizabeth: It’s rooted in effortless elegance—pieces that
feel equally at home during a leisurely morning at a local farmstand as they do at an intimate dinner party by the water. I design with the rhythm of summer Out East in mind, creating versatile silhouettes that transition seamlessly throughout the day while maintaining a sense of refinement. During the day, I envision our breezy cotton and linen dresses being worn for morning walks, afternoons spent by the beach, or long lunches with friends.

inspiration from the beginning. In fact, the signature blue of our Jumelle Collection was inspired by the stunning hydrangeas that bloom in our backyard each summer. We were so captivated by their color that we literally matched the blooms to a Pantone shade, creating a hue that became an integral part of our brand’s identity. It’s a constant reminder of the beauty, tranquility, and timeless elegance that Southampton brings to our lives and work. Elizabeth Rosbottom: Something about the calm, quiet, unhurried pace of life Out East helps my creative process fully unfold. I often bring vision boards, fabric swatches, and early concepts with me from the city, but it’s not until I arrive in Southampton that everything begins to crystallize. Removed from the constant energy and distractions of urban life, I’m able to see the fabrics, silhouettes, and details with fresh clarity. The proximity to the ocean, the natural beauty of the landscape, and the simple rituals of daily life—from visiting local farmstands to enjoying the colors of the sunset to cooking with seasonal ingredients—create a sense of grounding. I do most of my sketching and illustrating out here, and designs evolve organically. The textures, colors, and ease of coastal living often find their way into the collection. Being in a place that I love so much brings out my strongest creative instincts, and many designs begin to truly come alive there.
Any pieces epitomize that idyllic Hamptons lifestyle? Elizabeth: The Antibes Dress is our bestselling dress,
and it’s the quintessential Hamptons daytime piece when done in luxurious linen from Normandy. It’s perfect for gathering flowers in the garden or enjoying a quiet morning outdoors. I love the Riviera Dress, which has an adjustable halter neckline so you can easily wear a swimsuit underneath, and it’s made of a beautiful white eyelet our lace vendor in France customized for us, taking you effortlessly from a morning coffee-and-muffins run to meeting friends for lunch. Our Maybell Dress is elegant yet relaxed, with beautiful ties at the shoulder, and is made for a classic backyard lobster boil. The Croisette Dress is equally as suited to a romantic date night or couples’ dinner as it is an afternoon shopping in town. The embroidered cherries playfully nod to the season’s bounty. The Vineyard Dress, which was inspired by the sunflower fields next to Halsey Farm, offers understated glamour for an afternoon of wine tasting at Wölffer Estate.
What’s your ideal Saturday Out East? Katherine: The day begins with sunrise yoga on the
beach, then a stop at Tate’s for what we affectionately call the “good muffins” and its bacon-and-egg croissants. Next, we head to Halsey Farm to pick up handpicked summer berries for fresh smoothies, then head home to enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. Sunny Saturdays are made for the water. We love spending the day boat-hopping across the Peconic Bay, stopping at Shelter Island for frosé before heading to The Terrace at The Pridwin for a long relaxed lunch. Other days, we’ll make the journey to Duryea’s Orient
Point, where an afternoon can easily stretch into the evening. But wherever we go, there are always plenty of swimming stops along the way. Then, we’d spend the afternoon shopping locally before making our nonnegotiable stop at BuddhaBerry for a scoop of vegan chocolate sorbet.
Sounds incredible! And where’s dinner? Katherine: Nothing beats gathering our closest friends
for a seafood boil from Clamman. The table is set with classic East Coast charm—newspapers spread across the table, candlelight flickering, lobster crackers at every place setting, and, of course, bibs for everyone. It’s unfussy, joyful, and exactly the kind of evening we love most. Before dinner, there’s one final tradition we never miss—heading to our favorite bay beach to watch the sunset.
Beyond Southampton, where do you tend to hang out? Katherine: We love Sag Harbor because it’s retained
its authenticity and a genuine sense of community that feels increasingly rare. We love a leisurely lunch on the front porch at The American Hotel, and we’re excited about Babe’s Diner, which is such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. We love the town’s relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere and captivating architecture. Some of the most beautiful, iconic, and historic houses in the Hamptons are in Sag Harbor Village, and they’re a constant source of inspiration. We also have a special place in our hearts for Hampton Bays. The waterfront restaurants are among our absolute favorites, and the town has a wonderfully authentic laid-back character. There’s a sense of effortless calm there, combined with the energy of a true boating community.
What are your local Hamptons haunts? Katherine:
Wyandanch Beach is not only beautiful and quiet but has the best cell service of all the beaches in Southampton. Also, Cryder Beach is a favorite; Elizabeth Rosbottom and insider tip: There Katherine Rosbottom are a handful of parking spots that don’t require a coveted SH beach permit! Elizabeth: For waterfront dining, we love Bell & Anchor, Cowfish, Canal Café, RUMBA, Oakland’s, The Beacon, and Duryea’s Orient Point; at many of these places, you can pull your boat right up and jump off for lunch or dinner. Katherine: For farmstands, we go to Halsey Farm, which opens in July, or sometimes earlier if we’re lucky, and shop there until they close after Thanksgiving. The heads of lettuce there are exceptional—delicious, so fresh, and beautiful enough to use as a table centerpiece. And the floral bouquets are filled with rainbow-colored snapdragons and “dinner plate” dahlias—literally, they’re the size of dinner plates! Also, we go to Tate’s Farm for still-warm fresh eggs and chicken breasts; it’s the historic North Sea Farms founded by Richard “Tate” King, and its famous sister company is Tate’s Bake Shop. And Hank’s Farmstand has the best strawberries.

RetailVISION
Mission-driven online retailer Olivela’s gorgeous dresses, statement jewels, and elevated essentials make a real impact. And not just in your closet, because 20 percent of each purchase goes directly to worthy causes. Founder Stacey Boyd explains how, and shares her fave covetable pieces to shop now. By ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV
There’s a tension most of us feel and few of us name: the distance between lives of real luxury and so many people going without basic things. The easy assumption is that you can’t resolve it, that the two worlds just exist side by side. I kept asking a different question. What if one could actually serve the other? What if the things people genuinely want for themselves could fund the things others desperately need? What was missing in e-commerce was that connection. Plenty of give-back brands exist, but I’ve always believed no one buys something simply because it does good. Our customer buys the bag because she loves the bag. She buys it from us instead of somewhere else because of the good it does, and because she has that choice. So we baked the 20 percent donation into the core model, made it cost nothing extra to customers or brands, and made it transparent. On every product, you can see exactly what your purchase will do. Storytelling isn’t decoration for us. It’s the whole architecture.
What challenges has Olivela navigated thus far?
At the start, I didn’t know if the designers would come. Everyone warned me onboarding luxury
DAILYFRONTROW.COM
How has Olivela expanded over time?
We launched with just 12 brands and grew from there to a couple hundred. We’re built on a drop-ship model that keeps us light on inventory risk, which lets us stay resilient as the retail landscape has shifted while still curating an enormous available selection. On the physical side, we opened our first pop-up in Nantucket, followed by one in Aspen, and have continued building out a presence where our community gathers. The stores aren’t about square footage, but rather, meeting our customer in places she already loves and turning shopping into something closer to a gathering around a shared cause.
What are you looking forward to this summer?
Stacey Boyd
We’ll be on Nantucket over Fourth of July, a stretch of the year I protect fiercely: the island, the whole family together, and slow unhurried days that feel increasingly rare. Later in July, we’ll be in the Hamptons for our Olivela event, bringing our community together around the work we’ve funded. This summer carries a little more weight for me, as my youngest heads to college in August. Any parent who’s been at this threshold knows the feeling: pride and ache, arriving at the exact same time. It’s made me treasure the time we get as a family in a way I don’t think I fully did before.
What’s your personal Hamptons history?
How did you choose the name?
I’ve spent my whole career at the intersection of business and doing good, mostly starting things. I co-founded a charter public school, the Academy of the Pacific Rim, and worked on school-improvement programs before that. Then, I built a software company, and after that, Schoola, an online platform where families sent in gently used clothing and a meaningful share of the proceeds went to a school of their choice, to restore the arts, music, and PE programs that get cut first. So Olivela wasn’t a departure. It was the same conviction, dressed for a different occasion. I also have an MBA and a master’s in public policy, a polite way of saying I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how markets and mission can actually serve each other versus just coexist.
Our aesthetic is elevated, considered, and timeless rather than trend-chasing. Beautiful things, made to last, are a quiet form of sustainability. The Olivela customer is a woman of substance with wonderful taste, and a point of view about the world. Shopping with us adds depth to something she already enjoys: She gets the piece she wants, and she’s providing schooling and opportunity to a girl somewhere who needs it.
We’re building out our jewelry business, focused on fine and semi-fine categories. Jewelry so often has the most meaning attached, as it marks something and gets handed down. That sense of permanence and significance fits beautifully with who we are and what our customer cares about. For any expansion, there’s a single test I hold us to: Does this make our founding mission more true, or does it dilute it? If it deepens the connection between what our customer wants and the good it does, we lean in.
It started in a refugee camp. I’d flown to Kenya and Rwanda to celebrate Malala Day, Malala Yousafzai’s birthday, and I found myself in Dadaab—then the largest refugee camp in the world—watching girls in makeshift classrooms, risking their lives for the chance to learn. I was taking photographs of Malala with a group of young women in a distance-learning program, and I had one of those moments you can’t quite put into words. Two things hit me at once. Talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not; and, a fraction of the cost of the handbag on my shoulder could’ve sent one of those girls to school for a year. I came home and couldn’t unsee it. So I asked the world’s best luxury brands: What if doing good were built into every purchase, at no cost to the customer or to you? I expected resistance. I reached out to a dozen designers first, and every single one said yes. That first trip was the spark, but the mission grew into something broader. Today, our giving spans three pillars: education, health and wellness, and nature. They’re deeply connected. Children can’t learn if they aren’t healthy, and none of it holds if the natural world around them is collapsing. We direct 20 percent of net proceeds across all three, because doing good in the world is rarely a single-issue proposition.
What were you working on pre-Olivela?
What’s Olivela’s aesthetic, and who’s your customer?
What’s next for Olivela?
What led you to launch Olivela?
“Olive” is for the olive tree, a symbol of growth, peace, and wisdom. “Vela” is Latin for sails of a ship. Together, it’s about helping set people forward on the best path in life. It’s pronounced ah-li-VAY-lah. Almost no one gets it on the first try, and I’ve made peace with that.
meet our customer’s standard for craft and desirability, and does the partner share our belief that business can be a force for good?
brands would be the hardest part, that they’d never welcome a new channel built around philanthropy. That fear turned out to be unfounded, but the early uncertainty was real. Building a missiondriven company in a genuinely tough luxury retail climate means you’re always proving purpose and performance aren’t a trade-off.
What’s been the most fulfilling element?
It’s simple and never gets old: Our community has now funded the equivalent of more than a million days of school. When a quarter is hard, I remind myself that real children are in a classroom because of what our customers chose to do. It isn’t only education, there’s also health and wellness programs we’ve helped fund and the conservation work we’ve supported across multiple continents.
How do you curate Olivela’s brands?
We’re deliberately more curated than the big platforms. We’ve honed and refined rather than chased volume, and the filter is: Does this brand
The summer before I started graduate school, I took a solo sailing trip up and down the Eastern Seaboard, and I packed a box of books I’d always meant to read and never found time for. I got into Sag Harbor and got to know the place like sailors do, from the water in. There’s a particular intimacy to arriving somewhere by sea. You come in slowly, read the wind and tide, and meet a town from its working edges—its docks, moorings, and people who live their lives around the harbor. Sag Harbor has that in its bones, an old whaling port that still feels connected to the water. So my affection for the East End isn’t about the social calendar. It’s rooted in that maritime side, the rhythm of life on the water, and the memory of being a twentysomething with a hull full of books and nowhere I urgently had to be.
What’s in your summer wardrobe?
A brand I reach for repeatedly is Agua By Agua Bendita, the ready-to-wear sister of the beloved Colombian resort house launched in 2018 by Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, best friends from Medellín. The pieces celebrate Latin American heritage with illustrated prints, intricate hand embroidery, and natural and recycled materials, in silhouettes that are romantic without trying too hard. It’s an eco-conscious label, and much of the work is done by female artisans in Colombia, so there’s a real entrepreneurial and social spirit. Slipping on a Bendita dress in the summer is particularly joyful. They photograph beautifully and feel wonderful on— light, celebratory, alive.

SweetLIFE
EUROPEAN Flair Out East Two years ago, LDV Hospitality’s charismatic founder, John Meadow, ushered in a delightful new era at the beloved Maidstone Hotel in East Hampton while still honoring the historic property’s roots. This summer, LDV has expanded farther east with Barlume Beach, bringing sun-kissed, easygoing Italian beach club vibes to Montauk. Let’s dive in! By ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV What was The Maidstone’s draw for you and LDV?
The Maidstone is actually the oldest business in the entire Hamptons region; before East Hampton was even incorporated, the area was known as Maidstone, so there’s a lot of history there! It was originally two homes that were connected and turned into a hotel more than 150 years ago, and we came in in 2024. The Maidstone will always be of the town; it’s an iconic, cultural community cornerstone. Maidstone was here before LDV, and is going to be here for a long time after us, so we’re fortunate enough to be its stewards of the moment.
John Meadow
How have you put your stamp on this Maidstone era?
LDV stands for la dolce vita, so it’s this idea of bringing Mediterranean charm and Italian cuisine and style of hospitality to prim and proper East Hampton. In the rooms, there’s Santa Maria Novella soaps and Frette linens, but there’s also a distinctly New England aesthetic throughout, so it’s a real harmony of those two worlds. Also, it’s our first hotel property, so it’s nice seeing the identity of the restaurant inside and out in the garden, crossing over into the rooms, all speaking that dolce vita language of ours. We’re proud of it. It’s the most intimate project I’ve ever done, and it’s quite personal for me. It’s the jewel box of my career.
Any fun new additions to The Maidstone this summer?
We have a partnership with Fellini, the Soho-based Italian coffee roaster; they’re doing a super cool Airstream trailer outdoor coffee bar. Stuart Weitzman is doing a July pop-up, and Madison Avenue jeweler David Webb will have an August pop-up. Plus, we’re doing a trunk show in August with my tailor buddies from Italy, Nicola

Radano and Battistoni. And Fuze House from Miami is hosting a series of Pilates classes every weekend in the garden.
What’s your go-to meal at The Maidstone? I love an early evening dinner in the garden. The Maidstone has a sense of place that’s distinctly, quintessentially ideal Hamptons, and you feel that above all else in the magical garden. It has the comfort of home, but you still get the action and excitement of seeing people dressed up and coming together. I’d start with an Aperol spritz, then order rosé to drink with a bright, light pasta, like the spaghetti alla Nerano, a dish that comes from the Amalfi coast and has zucchini and provolone del Monaco. Then, I’d get the sophisticated, indulgent Dover sole, and you have to order the strawberries with basil for dessert. After that, I’d go inside to the bar for a drink, which has creaky floors, a funky ceiling, two fireplaces, and a real soulful patina, followed by a cigars in the back garden.

h
Divine! What’s the scoop on your new Montauk project?
Yes, Barlume Beach at 435 East Lake Drive soft-opened on Memorial Day, and it’s on a unique site: six acres right on Lake Montauk, a 10-minute walk to the fantastic Gin Beach. There’s a lot of action on West Lake Drive, but East Lake is even farther and remote; we’re technically the easternmost restaurant on Long Island! We opened Barlume, a Mediterranean restaurant, in the Flatiron District last year. The word “barlume” means glimmer of light in Italian, and we serve light, sunkissed, healthy food in a communal, convivial environment. Barlume Beach is a 220-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant, with a huge outdoor dining area in the sand, plus an outdoor lounge, and a beach area with fire pits. You know that classic Hamptons idea of a clam bake on the beach? Apart from being cost-prohibitive for most, you don’t connect with other people. At Barlume Beach, you can literally take off your shoes, put your feet in the sand, and have that experience, but with a communal vibe. There’s also an adjacent fabulous outdoor nightlife tent, a glamorized disco version of a Moroccan Bedouin tent in Montauk.
So fun! How did you land on this concept?
Ultimately, our vision is the European beach club. There’s great restaurants and great nightlife in the Hamptons, but the beach club doesn’t exist, where you go with 10 people at 3 p.m. on a Saturday for a dinner feast, you keep ordering rosé, there’s a DJ and a real vibe; it doesn’t turn up to nightclub levels, but it’s a fun, social, European-style beach hangout. We also have 19 marina slips, 19 hotel rooms, and there will be some exciting sports and wellness, music, and retail pop-ups, too. It’s the whole package, with a laid-back, elegant European sensibility. I don’t want to do 100 restaurants in the Hamptons, but now I’m grateful to have my town center property with The Maidstone and beach property with Barlume Beach. It feels good. It feels complete.

Beyond The Maidstone and Barlume Beach, what are your haunts Out East?
I love the Serene Green farmstand in Sag Harbor—I buy whatever fresh seafood they have—and Carissa’s is the best bakery out here by far. They sometimes make a chocolate baguette on Saturdays, and it’s insane. I love their miso chocolate chip cookie, too, and they import the best Portuguese and Spanish tinned fishes. Everyone loves Round Swamp Farm, but to me, Loaves & Fishes has the best prepared foods. They Barlume Beach do a halibut salad sandwich on a croissant, and eating that on the beach is heaven. For shopping, Double RL Barn in East Hampton is one of the best retail experiences in America; I love its curation of vintage pieces, like watches and old military gear, and the barn environment is so great. It’s just such a unique place. And Lisa Crawford’s LSC Design runs estate jewelry sales by appointment only; she has a dreamy treasure trove of spectacular vintage jewelry.
Any go-to events of the season? (Clockwise from above left) A fresh round of cocktails; Meadow’s go-to order at The Maidstone’s restaurant, spaghetti alla Nerano; the chic bar.
I love the South Hampton Fourth of July parade. It’s got such a sweet, multigenerational, small-town Americana feel.
Nestled in the heart of charming Amagansett, The Roundtree Hotel seamlessly blends low-key luxury with classic seaside charm. Why do we love it there so much?
Once a working farm, The Roundtree pays tribute to its agricultural roots through a meticulously designed space that honors Amagansett’s farm-steading legacy. The property features thoughtfully curated guest rooms filled with bespoke furniture, local artwork, and vintage accents that reflect the area’s rich history. The Beach House, a historic gem once home to playwright Neil Simon, has been beautifully restored, offering luxurious amenities while retaining its charming character. Guests can feel the heritage in every corner, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere that connects them to the local culture.

1. A NOD TO THE PAST
The Roundtree Hotel is ideally situated just a stone’s throw from the vibrant heart of Amagansett. Guests can easily stroll to Main Street, where boutique shopping, trendy galleries, and a variety of delicious dining options await. We’d recommend il Buco al Mare, which not only boasts incredible food (make a reservation!), there’s also a gift shop that’s a must. You’ll also find an incredible list of shopping options, including The Row, Henry Lehr, and Jenni Kayne. The hotel’s strategic location offers the best of both worlds—a serene retreat combined with easy access to the bustling charm of the area, making it ideal for both relaxation, exploration, and Instagram-worthy moments.
2. CHIC AND SERENE ACCOMMODATIONS
The Roundtree offers a range of stylish accommodations, including eight guest rooms housed in a 100-year-old restored barn and five charming cottages.

Thoughtful touches, such as wide-plank hardwood floors and relaxing reading nooks, ensure a cozy yet refined experience. Minibars are stocked with local treats, Grown Alchemist bath products, Frette linens, and Nespresso machines. You’ll sleep like a baby!
3. ENDLESS THINGS TO DO
At The Roundtree, relaxation meets adventure with a plethora of amenities and activities readily available to guests. In the summer, the hotel provides complimentary beach passes to Amagansett Beach, while branded beach buggies are available for those who prefer a whimsical ride to soak in the coastal scenery. Guests can explore the area via complimentary bike rentals or lounge on the expansive Great Lawn, perfect for playing cornhole or enjoying a cocktail or two. As evening descends, the firepit becomes the heart of the hotel, inviting guests to gather for s’mores. At night you can check out live music at the Stephen Talkhouse in town. It’s a fun way to get a taste of the local scene.

WELL Nourished From the team behind The Roundtree comes Nourish, a buzzy new restaurant that opened in May in Bridgehampton. Led by acclaimed chef Dewa Wijaya, the hotel’s executive chef, the menu is inspired by the Hamptons’ seasonal bounty and Wijaya’s Balinese heritage, featuring dishes rooted in East End ingredients and enlivened with global influences. Takuma Watanabe—the renowned founder and beverage director of Martiny’s and partner at Odo Hospitality, the group behind New York’s two-Michelin-starred Odo restaurant—oversaw Nourish’s bar and mixology program. Through an exclusive collaboration with Watanabe, guests will enjoy a curated beverage menu deeply rooted in the essence of the East End and the bounty of Long Island’s landscape. Nourish reflects The Roundtree’s ethos of understated luxury and connection to place. The cuisine centers on seasonal produce, meat, and seafood sourced from local farms, fishermen, and purveyors across the East End, Takuma while incorporating flavors and techniques Watanabe drawn from Balinese cuisine. Chef Wijaya brings decades of international experience to the project. Born in Bali and trained in classical French technique, he spent more than 20 years leading the kitchens at luxury resorts, including COMO Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos, and COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali. During his tenure, he developed health-forward menus for travelers and global tastemakers, gaining recognition for cuisine Dewa Wiyaya Executive Chef that balances vibrant flavor with thoughtful The Roundtree sourcing. “At Nourish, the inspiration begins with the extraordinary ingredients of the East End,” Chef Wijaya says. “The farms, the waters, and the people who cultivate them provide a natural foundation for cooking that feels both vibrant and nourishing. By bringing together local producers, such as Balsam Farms and Gosman’s Restaurant, we’re celebrating the Hamptons while sharing flavors that shaped me growing up in Bali,” he adds. The menu reflects this dialogue between region Chef Hiroki Odo and heritage. Selections include crispy East End sushi bites; chilled sweet corn soup with basil crisp and pine nuts; flame-grilled jumbo prawn with chickpea carrot puree, Balsam Farm sweet corn, pickled shallots, and toasted almonds; and slow-cooked beef short rib in curry sauce with coconut rice. East End favorites, such as the Nourish lobster roll and grilled ribeye steak, round out the savory menu. “I’m inspired by the incredible natural landscape of the East End, from the farms, the waterways, to the salt air,” Watanabe says. “There’s such an extraordinary wealth of ingredients here, and I want to honor that in every pour. My goal is to create a beverage program that feels completely of this place, and one that celebrates the essence of Long Island and the spirit of Nourish,” he adds. Nourish’s main dining room seats 70 guests, while a 20-seat bar serves as the creative heart of Watanabe’s East End beverage program. The outdoor garden, accommodating 30 additional guests, offers a serene alfresco setting to unwind and savor Watanabe’s creative cocktails surrounded by the natural beauty of the East End, bringing total capacity to 120 across the three spaces. The restaurant’s design echoes the relaxed elegance of the Hamptons. Exposed wood, warm timber, and natural materials create a grounded, organic atmosphere, while large windows fill the space with natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. Starting in July, Nourish is open daily for lunch and dinner through August. Guests staying at The Roundtree hotel in Amagansett will have priority access to reservations.

SAGE
With Sage & Madison, founder Chris Coffee brings a true sense of sartorial excitement and discovery to the East End. Nestled in a gorgeous restored barn in Sag Harbor, the store features a packed calendar of fashion pop-ups, plus fresh coffee (befitting his name) and hostess gifts that’ll grant you MVP houseguest status. This season’s buzzier than ever, with the debut of Sage & Madison’s inhouse fashion line, plus expanded café offerings like a signature “All the Buzz” drink, with bee pollen and local honey. So refreshing! By ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV Tell us about the latest and greatest at Sage & Madison!
We’ve always tried to bring a unique, less commercial vibe to the Hamptons with curation. My goal is not to become a department store Out East, but to showcase unique brands, both local and European, and emerging designers. I’m excited that we have a lot of brands that are European staples this summer, like Federica Bonifaci and Loretta Caponi, both from Italy. Chris Coffee Another one of my favorites is Johanna Ortiz, a Colombian designer who’s made quite a splash in America with her store on Madison Avenue, and she has many more stores opening. But she brings a refined aesthetic that caters to the Hamptons woman with the cuts of her dresses and beautiful floral patterns. We’re happy to have her. I’ve had the opportunity to sell out many times, but I like to keep the edit tight with brands like Johanna’s that I feel are known but not so in your face. I curate the lineup in a way that’s interesting for our clients. Fashion is about travel right now, so people want to tell a story about the piece they’re wearing. It’s not enough to just wear a Gucci shirt; they’d much rather go to Florence, pick out a special piece from a smaller label with a sense of heritage, like, say, Loretta Caponi, than wear a big name. So that’s what I was going for: making sure that the brands we work with inspire travel and feel international.

What are your customers looking for lately?
Love that! Any examples?
We had a fun event in June with My Bob bags, which is a Belgian-based raffia bag company with international appeal; the brand makes these fun handmade charms that have a kind of Hermès aesthetic. Also in June, we featured Aiste Hong, who won the FGI Rising Star Award for womens ready-towear this year. She’s another example of someone with a good, loyal client following, but who’s maybe not such a mainstream name.
How far out do you begin working on these pop-ups and partnerships? I probably started more than six months in advance of this summer. Besides scouting at Fashion Weeks, I took a trip to Florence to go to some designers’ showrooms, like Loretta Caponi. A lot of brands now come to us at this point, too; we’ve had a lot of pretty big moments over the years, like when [L.A. vintage boutique] Decades did a residency where we featured Jean Paul Gaultier couture [in 2023].
You’re also launching a Sage & Madison clothing line! Do tell…
I’ve worked with a lot of brands that have been around a long time, like St. John, and I’ve seen a lot of luxury goods come through my doors. I wanted to create a line that’s comfortable and wearable, that encapsulates the magic of Sage & Madison, and functions as an inbetween for when you’re going to an event and don’t want to wear your full outfit beforehand, but also want to look elegant. It’s travel-friendly, leisure-minded, and our materials are such high quality. Our thread counts are amazing; we use mother-of-pearl buttons, goodquality zippers, and strong fit. It’s got a Palm Springs feel, and a classic aesthetic—lots of navy and sporty green. It’s something you can wear to the airport that’s comfortable but still has style.
Sounds chic. When will the collection be available?
We’re bringing out pieces all throughout the summer, and started to do so in mid-June, and continuing throughout August with new drops, so people have to keep coming in to see new pieces as they arrive. We also plan on showcasing the collection in Palm Beach and various lifestyle places around the country next.
What’s next on the horizon for Sage & Madison?
From the beginning, I’ve built Sage & Madison based on many different concepts, because I think my ADD brain likes the variety! But it doesn’t necessarily have to be the whole kit and caboodle in one place. There could be a coffee shop/gift shop concept in one space, and a more clothing-focused concept in a separate space. Maybe we’ll do a wonderful hotel concept in the future, too. My plan is to definitely hit Palm Beach and Aspen in some form. Also, whomever we’re collaborating with at a given time helps tell our story. It’s always changing, which keeps it interesting. I think people know the baseline of what Sage & Madison is, and now we have our own classic brand, but everything else is always changing based on who our partners and fashion designers are, and that keeps us unique. Customers always say that when they come back, they never know what to expect, whether it’s something new or something that gives them a flashback to the past, and they love that experience.
What new local additions are on your radar this season? The new Faraway hotel opening in the old Baron’s Cove space is an exciting addition, and so is the new restaurant, Miracle, from the Fresno team in East Hampton, which has also opened in Sag Harbor. What I’m not thrilled about is large corporations with no heart, stark white walls, and no aesthetic coming into the village of Sag Harbor, and only being open seasonally. Obviously, it’s a seasonal place, but there are a lot of local businesses, and Sage & Madison is local at heart. The brand was built on, and named for, two cross streets out here. We cater to small designers and people that love what they do.

STYLISHLY Sustainable What’s new?
I’m having a great summer so far; it’s one of my busiest seasons, but it’s honestly a pleasure to get to spend my summers in the Hamptons while my clients are all here enjoying their gardens. My life just sort of shifts outdoors in the warm weather: I cook, exercise, and entertain in my garden. That’s the kind of experience I aim to design for my clients. Unlimited Earth Care is also having a good summer; we just held our annual summer event, in collaboration with BEA Interiors Design this year—our Garden Market carries a curated selection of pieces from BEA’s new Bubble Collection of beautiful outdoor furniture handcrafted from natural materials in limited quantities. It was a wonderful time. New clients, longtime clients, friends, and garden lovers mingled and drank cocktails amongst the flowers.
Why is sustainable gardening important to you? Sustainability was actually a founding focus of my work. When I started Unlimited Earth Care in the ’90s, my children were young and I’d just found a great piece of property to grow our lives. There were farm fields all around, so I knew the soil was fertile, and the Hamptons was, and still is, teeming with natural life. I was sure this was the right place to go all in on sustainable gardening. I think I was right. My clients are now more interested than ever in lowmaintenance flowering meadows, low irrigation or pollinator gardens, and vegetable and herb gardens.
What’s especially suited to the Hamptons terroir?
It depends on the property because
DAILYFRONTROW.COM
the Hamptons has such a diversity of environments that there’s no one answer! Different plants can thrive in one part of Sag Harbor, perhaps in sandier soil by the bay, and not do as well in another more wooded part of Sag Harbor. But native and well-adapted plants are always the best options, like echinacea, rudbeckia, and asters, which I consistently use in my work.
Any sustainable gardening tips?
I encourage people to find ways to incorporate sustainable practices into what they’re already doing; with gardening and landscape care, it’s relatively simple. Seek out plants and flowers that attract pollinators, like bees, butterflies, and birds, and support local pollinator populations. My guests always joke that I have a contract with the butterflies to show up when I entertain. In a way, I do! I agree to plant their favorite flowers, and they never fail to visit.
Has earth-friendly landscaping become more top of mind for clients over the years?
Absolutely, sustainability has become more of an interest and a priority. I think my clients were interested in Unlimited Earth Care because they sought sustainable garden and landscape design, but now, my clients are also knowledgeable and excited to talk about the specifics of materials and methods. I’m so pleasantly surprised to see how much people know about local bees and different types of plants and flowers! People want gardens they can interact with and feel connected to.
What garden accessories are you loving lately?
I believe our outdoor spaces, like inside our homes, should reflect the tempos and periods of our lives. The art, objects, and accessories in a garden
don’t have to look overly manicured or all match one another. The planters, furniture, and sculptures people choose can all reflect different aspects of their style and remind them of different moments in their life. I’m always changing what I carry at the Garden Market because as a designer, my own interests and tastes expand and respond to new materials, technologies, and other designers, but I still want to be around pieces of the past. There’s a beauty in the way that a garden can reflect that. I love when people find a planter they like at the Garden Market and put it alongside a collection of other planters at home—some modern, some traditional, some new, some old, all housing colorful plants and flowers.
Let’s talk color. What shades currently inspire you?
I love to design specific color palettes for each project, and usually go through phases with specific colors within specific projects. But I love alliums for their vibrant purple hues and graphic spherical forms; Shasta daisies for their bright whites, which are great for drawing the eye to specific areas or softening a bright flower bed; and red astilbe for their striking opaque red and feathered blooms.
What’s the rest of your summer looking like?
I spent the first half of summer preparing for our big party, which marked 20 years of our Southampton headquarters! For the rest of the summer I look forward to continuing to design, monitor the maintenance of clients’ gardens and oversee installation in new designs, and spend time cooking by the pool and the flowers at home with friends, evenings at Sunset Beach, and shopping in Sag Harbor.

At Rowe Plastic Surgery practice, Dr. Norman Rowe and wife Mia Rowe are partners in work and in life, bringing decades of experience (and even family roots in the field!) to patients seeking subtle, beautiful results.
What drew you to medicine, and specifically to plastic surgery? Norman Rowe: I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I think
growing up there was wonderful and grounding. I always wanted to be not just a doctor, not just a surgeon, but a plastic surgeon, even as a child. I remember seeing a news story about a plastic surgeon who made someone a new finger; I thought it was the most amazing thing imaginable. From then on, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon.
How have you grown and expanded Rowe Plastic Surgery over time? Norman: I’ve been in private practice for almost 25 years. I started off with
one office in NYC and saw a need for my work elsewhere, so I opened up offices in various cities where patients were interested in my services. We now have eight locations and tens of thousands of happy patients.
Mia, what attracted you to the plastic surgery field? Mia Rowe: Plastic surgery has always been a part of my life. My father,
grandfather, uncle, and cousin were or are all talented plastic surgeons. My mother and my aunt are also plastic surgery nurses. Plastic surgery was part of my life from a young age, so transitioning into running Rowe Plastic Surgery [RPS] was natural for me. My current role at RPS is to help realize our vision of bringing more life-changing services to patients, so I develop the central driving strategy of the practice.
What’s trending in the field nowadays? Norman: I think a big overall trend is to create a more natural look for the patient. The era of the overdone face or body is gone, and that’s a good thing. Current trends include rejuvenation medicine, which includes peptides and platelet-rich plasma, just to name a few. It seems now that the ultimate flex is not what car you drive or what shoes you wear, but what you’re doing to help yourself maintain a long, healthy life. I also notice I’m getting younger and younger patients coming in who are looking to prevent aging, or least slow it down. I call it “prejuvination.”
Which procedures are less popular lately? Norman: I think overfilled faces and lips, Brazilian butt lifts, aggressive
eyelid lifts, large incision brow lifts, and large breast implants are on the decline. I think these procedures are better off left in the past. People want more natural-looking rejuvenation.
Mia and Norman Rowe
Are there certain procedures that Rowe Plastic Surgery specializes in? Norman: I think I’m best known for breast work. I enjoy it because it’s
difficult; I like a challenge. It’s work that is extremely personal for the patient. It has to be done perfectly. I also enjoy rhinoplasty surgery; it’s one of the more difficult procedures in plastic surgery to get right.
Do you have busy and slow seasons? Norman: We’re busy year-round. If I operated on New Year’s Day, I’d have
three patients lined up!
What keeps you busy outside of work? Mia: Both of us have our own pet causes, and we’re both involved with
philanthropy. We’ll continue to push and help these charities at various events throughout the summer. There will be some travel with the kids, too, but our charities keep us busy.
What’s the story behind @the.miaedit Instagram account? Mia: For years, I’ve had friends, family, and even total strangers call me,
text me, or DM me and ask for my opinion regarding beauty and lifestyle. They all seem so genuinely happy with my responses and suggestions, so I decided to start @the.miaedit on IG to reach and help more people, and to expand on my philanthropic goals.
What do you predict will be trending next in plastic surgery and aesthetics? Norman: I think people are going to start their treatments at a younger
age. The “less is more” approach will be more pervasive. Longevity and looking good as we age will become a central tenet of aesthetic medicine. Mia: More and more women—and men, too—will rely on social media to help them decide what results they want. That’s why I feel there has to be resources that give honest, unbiased opinions, like @the.miaedit.
COURTESY
What’s your relationship like with the Hamptons? Mia: The Hamptons has always been a place to decompress and that’s
what I enjoy about it. I have family Out East and have been going for years. I love all the towns. They each have their unique personalities, from the small village feel of Sag Harbor to the shopping of East Hampton to the beaches of Montauk. The Hamptons has such a wonderful selection of grocery stores and restaurants that fit any mood I’m feeling. Sometimes, Goldberg’s Bagels or Round Swamp Farm on a Sunday morning does the trick, or I go to Duryea’s for the lobster salad. I also love wonderful dinners at Sant Ambroeus or Le Bilboquet, and also fun evenings out at Surf Lodge or Mary Lou’s.

What’s new, Kyle?
It’s been an exciting year with a new perspective for me. I’m running my business with my own personal team now and working with a lot of incredible people, opening up relationships from the past. I get to work with the absolute best people in the business, collaborating on projects with people in the industry from all over the country.
Congrats! What have you found surprising about running your own business?
The learning process has been intense. A whole set of new elements come into play when figuring out how to operate the best possible business with your authentic personal stamp. The best lesson I’ve learned about building a brand is to always be myself, be authentic, and tell my story. Being able to collaborate with people I’ve had prior relationships in my 20-plus years in the business has been powerful. I’m grateful to have the relationships I do.
How was business over the winter and spring?
I sold three oceanfronts in Montauk alone! It’s beyond my wildest dreams. As a mission statement, jokingly, I said years ago I wanted to sell houses I can surf in front of. I set intentions, and just watch what happens by showing up every single day. There’s an amazing story behind this beautiful oceanfront property in Ditch Plains, where I live in the summer. I sold it to builder Joe Farrell. We were sitting
DAILYFRONTROW.COM
The Stone House, 408 Old Montauk, Montauk
on the beach, catching up in front of the house, with no intention of seeing the house whatsoever. He bought it for his family, renovated the whole thing, put his stamp on it, and made it so special and spectacular. I partnered with Erica Grossman at Douglas Elliman, one of the best in the business, collaborating to get that deal across the finish line. I started the year with another beautiful Montauk oceanfront property, which sold a few weeks ago. Oceanfront and waterfront properties are important to me, because as a surfer the water has a powerful role in my life.
What are buyers looking for these days?
Wellness amenities within the home are such an important play, whether that’s a sauna, a steam room, a meditation room; people want recovery features at home, and they want a real spa. Also, the landscape around the house matters, being able to see the natural elements from inside, maybe that’s through a big wall of glass. If the views and surrounding landscape are special, a setting with privacy isn’t always most important to buyers.
Where are the buzziest areas this season?
In terms of demand and where the market is, Amagansett Lanes and Sag Harbor Village are hot spots right now. Amagansett Lanes specifically is seeing incredible movement, in terms of pricing, desirability, and lack of inventory, because it provides something that almost nowhere else does out here—walkability to both the village of Amanganset and to the ocean. It’s the absolute dream, not just for living in, but for guests and entertaining, too. You have the flexibility to walk instead of drive, and you get this sense of ease. I have five beautiful Amagansett Lanes properties right now, three on the market and two off-market, ranging from $5.25 million to $26.25 million for a compound.
What else are you listing currently?
I have a brand-new oceanfront property I brought to market at 15 Dune Road in Bridgehampton for $45 million, and that’s currently on the market. It’s a special property. A diamond dealer built it custom in 2018, and it’s a seven-bedroom oceanfront house. That property is outstanding, and the best opportunity in the Hamptons right now to buy something almost brand new and on the ocean. 15 Dune Road, Bridgehampton
Plus, it’s under $50 million, which is an excellent opportunity in Bridgehampton, where properties on the water are more like $75 million or $100 million.
Sounds amazing. What else are you selling lately?
Also, there’s 29 Wills Point Road, which is the most incredible house I’ve ever seen built in Montauk on the water. It has sunset views, and overlooks Gardiners Island and Connecticut. It’s a 10,000-square-foot, absolutely stunning home, set for completion this month, for $23 million; you can see the water through an atrium with a tree growing through the center of the house, and a rooftop deck where you can see all the way up the Connecticut shoreline.
Anything else in the pipeline you’re excited about?
I’m doing an amazing collaboration with Stephen Ferrara and the Hudson Advisory Team at Compass, working with Noa Santos of architecture and design firm NAINOA. Noa is one of the best in the industry; he’s on the rise, and so incredible at what he does. It’s set in the middle of 90 acres of farm reserve and rolling farm field, and there’s a feeling of space and openness across all these sight lines from the house. It’s a magical setting, absolutely striking. It’ll be a 14,000-square-foot masterpiece of a home; it delivers everything you can ever imagine, at the highest end of the market. It’s an heirloom asset—a property that can be generational—and it’s timeless, elegant, beautiful, and tasteful. Construction is just starting, and it’ll be ready in summer 2027. Someone’s going to be very fortunate to get it before it’s finished.
Where will we find you hanging out this summer?
In my hometown of Sag Harbor, I love Babe’s Diner! My friends opened it, and it’s got this small-town family-friendly feeling that we need to hold on to. I always order the chicken wings! Plus, they collaborate with other fun people, like Monte’s Fine Foods, which runs Monte’s at the Manor in Montauk; they did a spicy vodka chicken Parmesan sandwich pop-up that completely sold out. There’s a nice neighborhood feeling, and they have fun. And then out in Montauk, you’ll definitely catch me at the new Crow’s Nest concession stand at Montauk Point, by the Montauk Lighthouse. It’s the coolest pairing. A new restaurant, Zagara, is opening soon in Sag Harbor at the former Baron’s Cove space, now Faraway Sag Harbor, that’s run by the chef Jarad McCarroll, who was formerly at Montauk Yacht Club. Jarad’s food is impressive, so I always look forward to what he does. Cooks Lane, Water Mill

R A N D I B A L L’ S H A M P T O N S As managing director of The Agency Hamptons and one of the East End’s leading luxury real estate advisors, Randi Ball spends her days helping buyers and sellers navigate one of the most coveted markets in the country. Recognized among the top-producing agents in the region and known for her thoughtful relationshipdriven approach, Ball has built a reputation for pairing exceptional market expertise with an insider’s understanding of Hamptons living. She understands that what makes the Hamptons special isn’t just the homes, it’s the lifestyle. Here, Ball shares some of her favorite ways to enjoy summer Out East.
I love paddleboarding with Paddle Diva in East Hampton. The Reform Club in Amagansett had outdoor yoga last summer that was incredible, and this year they’re offering Lucky Honey Pilates classes, which I’m excited to try. Wölffer Estate Vineyard also hosts Yoga in the Vines, which is always such a unique experience. For something a little more low-key, I love long beach walks with my dogs, and the Walking Dunes in Amagansett are one of my favorite places to reset.

Where do you like to go for outdoor workouts?
Randi Ball
What’s on your radar retail-wise?
SunLife Organics is new in Sag Harbor and has great smoothies and juices. I’m also excited that Amagansett finally has a bookstore again. One of the reasons I love living and working in the Hamptons is that it continues to evolve while maintaining its character. New businesses arrive, but the sense of place remains intact, which is part of what makes this market so special.
Any outdoor events you’re looking forward to?
Polo Hamptons is always one of the highlights of the summer season. It’s such a uniquely Hamptons event, world-class polo, incredible fashion, great people, all coming together in one afternoon. This year is especially exciting because The Agency is proud to be sponsoring the two weekends of the matches. The atmosphere is always so much fun, and it’s one of those events that truly captures the spirit of summer Out East.
What continues to inspire you most about working in Hamptons real estate?

The Hamptons is unlike anywhere else in the world. Every neighborhood has its own personality, every property tells a different story, and every client has a unique vision for how they want to live. Perfect is personal. What I love most is helping people discover not just a home but a lifestyle. Whether clients are buying their first weekend retreat, relocating fulltime, or selling a property that’s been in their family for generations, it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of those milestones. People aren’t simply purchasing a property here—they’re investing in a community, a lifestyle, and a place that continues to inspire me every day.

WATERS CO O LE R The one and only John Waters is coming to Guild Hall in East Hampton this month to perform his hilarious one-man show, Going to Extremes, for the first time on the East End. The director, writer, and living legend tells THE DAILY SUMMER what you should expect, why he loves performing at the ripe age of 80, and whether he has any plans to direct again. By EDDIE ROCHE Photography by GREG GORMAN
Hi John, what’s the premise of the show?
I rewrite the show once a year, completely. It’s a 70-minute sermon basically. It’s a rant about fashion, politics, my movies, everything. It’s called Going to Extremes, and this year we’re obviously in extreme times, and it’s about how to get through it, how to win, and go through life not whining all the time.
What topics do you address with fashion?
Fashion is protection, fashion is humor, fashion is warfare, fashion is how you make your first impression and change people’s minds. Fashion is very important. At the same time, I find it humorous. When I was young, I used to spend the cheapest amount of money to look good, and now I spend the most amount of money to look poor!
That’s brilliant! What brands do you wear?
I loved it when they used to say to Jackie Kennedy, “Who’s outfit are you wearing?” and she’d say, “Mine!” I hate anything that shows labels. I do wear Comme des Garçons, The Gap, Paul Smith. I buy all my clothes
The show is exactly the same because I’m well planned and rehearsed. But the question-and-answer part is completely different. I do rerwrite the show every year, so if you come every year, you’ll see a completely new show.
Have you ever said anything that caused audience members to walk out?
Trigger warnings were invented for me! But no one ever gets mad. I make fun of the rules that I live by. I make fun of myself first. All you have to do is Google me. It doesn’t say family-friendly, bring your kids. My shows are never mean. They’re rude. I haven’t seen anyone walk out.
You had your 80th birthday recently. What did you do to celebrate?
Nine shows in 10 cities. And then I went on vacation to London and a friend of mine and I went to Marquis de Sade’s castle ruins in the South of France.
How did you feel about turning 80? at MAC Modern Appeal Clothing in San Francisco. It’s a great boutique. Mostly though, they’re for stage wear. I don’t go walking around in this. Actually…that’s a lie. I have Comme des Garçons T-shirts!
We’ve spotted you in Provincetown over the years, but never the Hamptons!
It’s my 63rd summer in Provincetown. I don’t vacation in the Hamptons. I’m doing shows in Provincetown, the Hamptons, and Fire Island. I’m spreading it deep, baby. Nobody really goes to more than one of those places. You can’t mix. I have great friends in the Hamptons and get invited to many nice houses when they invite me out. It’s wonderful to be invited. I’ve had great times there, but you have to pick one.
You’re touring around the country. What’s your take on America right now as you travel around?
You have to come see the show to hear that! That’s what it’s about. I did 59 shows on the road this year. I live in airports. It’s a writing exercise. I do a 10-second biography of each person on the plane. I imagine their sex life, or I imagine them nude. A lot of people do that. They just don’t tell you. I’m never bored. As for Americans, they like to laugh. They’re sick of everyone preaching at them from either side. The left, the right, I’m in the radical middle right now. Somewhere I’ve never been in my life.
What do you like about touring?
I stay in touch with my fans. I have many people in the audience who weren’t even born when I made my last movie. I think that’s important. Being in show business is like being a politician. I get to see my fans. I see what they’re talking about. Come to see my show, and you’ve got homework. Nobody can get every joke, but you look it up when you leave. My audiences are smart. They get dressed up for me. They read the papers and know what’s going on. Basically, they have a sense of humor about themselves, which is the most important thing about getting through life.
What’s in your rider?
A box of Kleenex. Food and some drinks for my guests. I don’t have an insane rider with green M&M’s. People say, “What did you have to eat tonight?” And I say, “What I have every night! Charcuterie trays.” That’s all I eat. DAILYFRONTROW.COM
Is every performance a little different?
People say, I don’t know how you do it. I say, I don’t know why I wouldn’t do it while I still can and it’s still offered. I told audiences that if I die onstage, you can do a selfie. If you dig me up for sex in the graveyard, oral only!
Curious to hear what you think about AI.
I always thought it would be great porn, but I’m disappointed. I do hope it finds a cure for cancer. You can’t be against the future.
What’s your take on the popularity of GLP-1 medications?
I said to someone I know, “Is it healthy?” and they said, “Do you think weighing 400 pounds was healthy?” What do you say to that? Whatever people want to do. I’ve had great luck with fat stars. You’re not allowed to say fat anymore. It’s the new F word.
Are you reading any books right now?
I read a great book about Lady C: The Long Sensational Life of Lady Chatterley’s Lover. I’m starting The Wonderful World That Almost Was, a dual biography by Andrew Durbin. It’s about [artists] Paul Thek and Peter Hujar and their life together.
Did you read Liza Minnelli’s recent autobiography?
No, I’m not that gay! I know Liza, and I love her. I’m all for her. She just never knew there was such a thing as a straight man to marry! My favorite was when National Enquirer or one of those publications wrote that her last husband, [David Gest], who she now disowns, killed JonBenét Ramsey.
Will we ever see another film from you?
They optioned my book Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance and hired me to write it and they liked it. Then the company went out of business. Now nobody will give me the money because it’s expensive. You can’t make it as a cheap movie. I’m not interested in making an underground movie at 80!
Do you go to the beach in the summer?
Half an hour every day. I love to go in the ocean. I’m always looking for a sneaker wave to come grab and kill people. The beach I go to all the time is where the shark bit off the guy’s leg. I like a beach with some edge! John Waters: Going to Extremes plays on Sunday, July 26, at Guild Hall. For tickets, visit guildhall.org.
