This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Preview Benefit Cocktail Party for the 2023 East Hampton Antiques & Design Show. The exclusive sneak peak event was held on the evening of Friday, July 14 on the beautiful, historic grounds of Mulford Farm in the heart of East Hampton Village. The antiques were unique, the designers were special and the event was a success! KDHamptons has more details to follow…Aerin Lauder and Lynn Stefanelli

Guests had the opportunity to meet Honorary Chair Liz Lange; American fashion designer, entrepreneur, author, podcast host – and current owner of the fabled Grey Gardens estate in East Hampton. Guests enjoyed an early buying opportunity of the impressive array of antiques, art, jewelry, timelessly chic furniture, accessories and collectibles. Ticket proceeds benefited the East Hampton Historical Society.
