Under the golden glow of a Hamptons summer afternoon, Kenneth and Maria Fishel welcomed an elegant crowd to their Bridgehampton estate for a refined celebration of British luxury and seasonal splendor. The occasion? A Summer Garden Party in partnership with storied heritage brand Asprey of London, known for its iconic objets d’art and timeless craftsmanship.
Set against the manicured grandeur of the Fishels’ lush estate—where sculpted gardens gave way to sun-drenched lawns—the affair exuded Anglo-chic charm and high-summer glamour. The intimate guest list featured a constellation of tastemakers, philanthropists, and cultural figures, all gathered to toast the enduring art of British design.
Guests were treated to a live performance by Maria Abous, a standout vocalist from this season’s Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea cabaret series, produced by Donna Rubin and Josh Gladstone of LTV Studios. Her stirring renditions of classical melodies provided a graceful soundtrack to the afternoon.
The culinary offerings were equally curated: artisanal cheeses and accoutrements offered refined indulgence, complemented by crisp rosé from Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits and a spirited tasting of tequila by BIATCH. Throughout the event, attendees were invited to explore select pieces from Asprey’s latest collection—each item a testament to the brand’s legacy of excellence.
Further enriching the day’s festivities was a charitable spotlight on ARF Hamptons, honoring the local nonprofit’s work in animal rescue and adoption.
Among the esteemed guests were Candace Bushnell, John and Andrea Catsimatidis, Jean Shafiroff, Michele Heary, Donna Rubin, Maria Abous, James and Rebecca Frost, Kathy and Othon Prounis, Adriana Castro, Adam and Allison Cady, Danielle Pluthero, Clare Bergison, April Murena, and Jennifer Luloff.
This exquisite gathering at the Fishels’ Bridgehampton estate was more than a garden party—it was a moment of transatlantic refinement, where tradition, artistry, and community converged under the summer sky.
