A Guide To The Season’s Best Fashion Pop-Ups & Events In The Hamptons

While vacationing in the Hamptons, Carrie Bradshaw once said, “One of the best things about living in a city like New York is leaving it.” Even though her stay at the summer hotspot was short (due to an awkward run-in with her friend’s husband), it’s likely Carrie would’ve hit up every notable sartorial soirée under the sun. For those looking to do the same, make room on your travel itinerary for these fashion pop-ups and events in the Hamptons, spanning from a new Prada store to a limited-time Mytheresa shopping experience.

In between wine tasting, strolls on the beach, and the finest cuisine, make sure to set aside plenty of time for this season’s fashionable fêtes, whether you’re heading to the Hamptons for a quick weekend getaway or setting up shop for the entire summer. Just a seven-minute drive from the popular East Hampton Main Beach is a new Prada location, which opened earlier in June. With its vast collection of ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, and more, you’ll need a full day to touch every corner of the store. If you’re up for a bit of exploring (and have access to a car), you can take the South Ferry to Shelter Island, where the newest Balmain pop-up awaits you. Starting on July 17, the French atelier will offer sleek styles from its Spring/Summer and Pre-Fall 2024 collections inside the freshly-renovated Pridwin Hotel & Cottages. And toward the end of July, head to Hamptons Fashion Week for those craving the opulence of a runway show.

As if the oceanside dining wasn’t enough to convince you to confirm your travel plans, these must-shop stops will secure the deal. Keep scrolling for the best fashion-related affairs in the Hamptons this summer, and stay tuned to TZR for more in the coming months.

Prada’s Store Re-Opens In The Heart Of East Hampton

On June 7, just in time for the first round of tourists to arrive in town, Prada re-opened its East Hampton location for the season. The 1600-square-foot store features red-and-ivory retro stripes from floor to ceiling, making it the perfect background for your next Instagram post. Underneath the neon light of the iconic Prada triangle emblem shines summer-ready staples from the atelier’s most recent men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collections, as well as the May Issue 2024 line. You’ll be able to shop monogrammed raffia totes, breezy matching sets, stealth wealth sandals, timeless swimwear selects, and more. “Sophisticated floral motifs or pastel hues and neutral tones” make up most of the new location’s assemblage, the brand shared in a press statement. So, if your favorite little white dress didn’t make it into your suitcase, don’t worry, Prada’s got you covered.
