The lush, green gardens of the Parrish Art Museum were packed with Hamptonites at this year's highly anticipated benefit, "The Midsummer Party," sponsored by Coach, which raised nearly $800,000 in support of the Museum's educational programs. Upon entering the breezy outdoor tent in the arboretum, guests were immersed in a green-and-white botanical world designed by Coach President and Executive Creative Director Reed Krakoff. Peonies peeked out of shining, silver mint-julep cups; quaint Coach green-leather napkin rings adorned the tables; and signature canvas totes completed the ambiance. Sipping cocktails at the summer soiree: Honorary Co-chairs Debbie Bancroft, Beth Rudin DeWoody, and Katharina Otto-Bernstein; Bettina Zilkha; Mariana and George Kaufman; Robert Zimmerman; Donna and Richard Soloway; Nina Griscom; Lucia Hwong Gordon; Lorraine Bracco; Dan Wassong and Barbara Cover Shapiro; Douglas Hannant; Denise and Larry Wohl; Stewart Lane and Bonnie Comley; and Tinsley Mortimer.
