Orlebar Brown and CULTURED magazine hosted a launch event in the Hamptons for the British brand's summer collection, held at Il Buco's Amagansett outpost. Guests included photographers, gallerists, a collector, an investor, a designer, and an artist, who mingled over drinks despite rainy weather.
Photographer Nat Ward has published a new book titled "Ditch: Montauk, NY 11954," featuring panoramic images taken over four summers at Ditch Plains Beach in Montauk, New York. The project began during a residency at the Edward F. Albee Foundation in 2018, using a medium format panoramic camera to capture the diverse human interactions on the crowded beach. Ward's photographs document strangers becoming neighbors, political tensions dissolving under umbrellas, and the raw honesty of beachgoers, including a woman in a red MAGA hat and a young man confident in his desirability.
