Southampton Hospital's Annual Summer Party
The scene outside the tent of Southampton Hospital is where the ladies who lunch show what they wear to an expensive dinner, which for this crowd means long. But this year, the usuals were somewhat upstaged by Formula 1 race cars and models sporting Graff diamonds and emeralds and dresses by Alberta Ferretti. Graff C.E.O. Henri Barguirdjian, a great fellow, was on hand, but he wouldn’t tell me what anything cost. Spoil sport!
