NEW KDHamptons Party Diary: Zadig & Voltaire Rocks a Southampton Pop Up Shop

SHARE

KDHamptons fell in love with the Zadig & Voltaire collection at their recent pop up boutique which was held over Bastille Day weekend at my favorite Hamptons gallery, Jeff Lincoln Art+Design. The opening night cocktail reception will took place on Friday, July 13th and was co-hosted by Cultured Magazine founder Sarah G. Harrelson, with distinguished artist, Rogan Gregory.  Check out the party pix from the night, as well as my fashionably fast Q&A chat with Zadig & Voltaire artistic director, Cecilia Bonstrom below…

KDHamptons: Why is your summer collection for Zadig & Voltaire perfect for a haute Hamptons girl?
Cecilia Bonstrom: I think my Zadig&Voltaire summer collection is made for the Hampton girl and Hampton living cause I make pieces that you can wear easily to the beach but also going straight to an art event, chic lunch or cocktail. Zadig&Voltaire is always about the perfect balance of effortless attitude and also strong but timeless designs that give you a look for all circumstances.

KDHamptons: Which is your favorite look of summer and why?
Cecilia: My heart hesitates between a white coton/lace dress that is so perfect for warm day to night occasions, cause its elbow length sleeves and knee length makes it perfect for a day with flat sandals and then night with highheels and a good bag. But also my favourite suit ( Peter pants and Volta blazer) from the summer show is a vanilla colored one in crisp light, coton fabric that dresses you so well but in such a nonchalant way..

KDHamptons: What do you love most about the East End?
Cecilia: The air, the light and of course the boutiques.

KDHamptons: If you could only pack 4 things for a weekend at the beach what would we find in your travel bag?
Cecilia: My Yasmine Eslami bathing suit, my Zadig&Voltaire denim shorts and tunisian white tshirt and a black blazer.
