Gucci Did it Again With its Second Summer Fete in East Hampton

No one throws a party quite like Gucci. For the second year, the iconic Italian house hosted a soiree at the family home of stylist Elizabeth Saltzman in East Hampton. The surreal, dazzling celebration was a midsummer night’s dream. 

A procession of shuttles and golf carts heightened the anticipation. The Saltzman estate did not disappoint. Through the imposing hedges, a Gucci wonderland awaited. 

Mark Ronson—the British-American DJ and mastermind behind such classics as Amy Whinehouse’s Rehab and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk—electrified the crowd. On the neon dance floor, guests breathlessly twirled and laughed. When taking a break from the sweaty revelry, attendees explored the impressive grounds. Hypnotic projections painted the contemporary home Gucci colors. Banquet tables offered summer delicacies from local farms while ice cream trucks provided sweet treats.

Far from merely a celebration of beauty, the party marked Gucci’s continued commitment to funding three nonprofit partners focused on alleviating food insecurities in the Long Island region.

Champagne and every other type of libation flowed. Artists, designers, models, and socialites savored the warm, clear summer evening. Christy Turlington, Spike Lee, Rachel Zoe, Selby Drummond, Tyler Mitchell, Derek Blasberg, and Sophia Bush sparkled among the bacchants. A surprise silent disco closed out the night.
