Elegance took on an English accent in Bridgehampton this season, as heritage luxury house Asprey of London transformed a private estate into a setting fit for royalty. Hosted by Kenneth and Maria Fishel, the exclusive garden affair offered a refined afternoon steeped in tradition, artistry, and timeless British sophistication.

Set on the impeccably manicured grounds of the Fishel family estate, the event drew a curated group of tastemakers, philanthropists, and style-setters for a celebration of high summer hospitality. This wasn't just a party—it was a moment where British heritage met Hamptons ease, as the 243-year-old brand showcased its iconic objets d’art and luxurious craftsmanship beneath the mid-summer sun.

Guests were serenaded by Maria Abous, a celebrated soprano known for her performances in the Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea cabaret series. Produced by Donna Rubin and Josh Gladstone of LTV Studios, her live renditions of classical melodies added an ethereal soundtrack to the afternoon.

To complement the cultural charm, attendees enjoyed a spread of artisanal cheeses and light fare, paired with chilled rosé courtesy of Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits. Tequila tastings by BIATCH offered a modern contrast, adding a spirited note to the occasion.

While the party honored British elegance, it also spotlighted a cause close to the Hamptons community: ARF Hamptons. The local animal rescue nonprofit was honored throughout the day, reinforcing the meaningful thread between luxury and legacy.

The guest list included a distinguished cast of New York socialites, creatives, and community leaders, such as Candace Bushnell, Jean Shafiroff, John and Andrea Catsimatidis, Donna Rubin, and Maria Abous, among others. Their presence added to the tone of elevated connection and enduring influence that the event so clearly evoked.

For those seeking to explore Asprey’s artistry firsthand, a curated selection of the brand’s most iconic pieces is currently on view at their seasonal pop-up at 18 Jobs Lane in Southampton. The space serves as both a retail destination and a reminder of the brand’s standing as a hallmark of British luxury—dating back to its founding in 1781 and its long-standing service to royalty and global dignitaries alike.

As summer events go, the Asprey Garden Party was far more than picturesque. It was a study in heritage, hospitality, and the kind of timeless style that doesn’t require a red carpet to shine—just an estate, a signature brand, and the right guests to carry it forward.
