The event was co-hosted by Acuarela and renowned milliner Eugenia Kim, alongside Kerry Berlet, host of the popular “Once Upon A Surgery” podcast.
The intimate setting in downtown Manhattan welcomed a curated guest list who previewed unreleased resortwear collections and limited-edition designs. Guests explored luxury swimwear, daywear, and accessories, with Eugenia Kim’s signature hats featured prominently among the offerings.
