As the dog days begin to dwindle, GrandLife and Kanon Organic Vodka teamed up to host one memorable end of summer bash this past weekend. Selected guests were driven out to Southampton to frolic in the pool and soak up the sun one last time before New York Fashion Week madness begins to set in. Special live performance by The Rapture, and Dj sets by Prince Language and James #!$ Friedman, provided the soundtrack for this monumental summer soiree. Gracing us with an intimate performance, The Rapture showed off their skill for creating memorable concert experiences. Lead singer, Luke Jenner, showed off his moves on top of a speaker as a sea of fashionable guests floated on rafts and swayed to the dance-rock hits that have made the band one of the top talents of their generation. The lucky guest sipped Kanon Vodka cocktails with the brand of the hour’s mixologist Stefanie Marco, as well as Kenzo Minami, Carol Han, Ali Weiss, Matt Kays, and NYLON’s Faran Krentcil. Under a black velvet blanket of stars, the Manhattan downtown elite traded in their stilettos for flip-flops and forgot about the stress of the city in a Montauk minute.
