Southampton Village was abuzz with excitement this past summer as it hosted the highly anticipated “Walk the Sand Way” fashion show at Coopers Beach. The event, a brainchild of Southampton Village Trustee Robin Brown, seamlessly blended high fashion with the natural beauty of the #1 beach in the continental USA.
Robin Brown, known for her unwavering commitment to enhancing community engagement, spearheaded this groundbreaking event to celebrate local fashion while honoring the everyday heroes of our community. Southampton’s boutique Xanadu set the scene featuring the latest trends for the upcoming season. Designer Alex Vinash showcased a variety of styles against the picturesque backdrop of Coopers Beach.
A highlight of the evening was the unique inclusion of our local first responders—police officers, firefighters, and Coopers Beach attendants—who graced the runway with impressive style. Their participation was a tribute to their dedication to contributing to Coopers Beach, providing the best sun and sea experience, and making the event a poignant celebration of community spirit.
The exclusive event was further elevated by the exquisite catering services provided by Saaz, Southampton Inn, and Hampton Gifts and Events. Guests enjoyed a delectable selection of gourmet offerings that perfectly complemented the evening’s ambiance.
Trustee Robin Brown, who played a pivotal role in conceptualizing and executing the event, expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm: “It was truly a pleasure to bring this vision to life and celebrate our vibrant community and beautiful beach. The support from our local businesses and the participation of our first responders made this event a memorable experience for everyone involved.”
The “Walk the Sand Way” fashion show not only highlighted the latest in fashion but also reinforced Southampton’s status as a premier destination for style and seaside elegance. The event underscored the village’s commitment to fostering local talent and celebrating the unsung heroes who make our community thrive.
