Thank goodness for Claire Distenfeld, who brought the scene back to the city with a cocktail party at her Upper East Side boutique Fivestory. She was celebrating the arrival of Dubai-based brand Madiyah Al Sharqi at her store, the retailer’s first Middle Eastern label. Predictably, everyone else was in the Hamptons, including the soon-to-be married Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery, who threw a dinner at The Surf Lodge in honor of their new collaboration with swimwear label Solid & Striped. The day before, Aerin Lauder hosted a luncheon with Net-a-Porter at her home in Wainscott. And in case there were any doubts, the lady can certainly lunch. Here, the best party photos of the week.
