In Palm Beach, Vogue100 and Dee Ocleppo Hosted a Luncheon Under Lemon Trees 

On Tuesday, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger welcomed Vogue100 and guests to her Palm Beach home for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating her namesake label. Co-hosted by Vogue’s shopping and parties editor Lilah Ramzi, the luncheon gathered fashion swans who headed south for the Art Basel festivities and local creatives alike.

Featured in Architectural Digest, the Hilfiger’s waterfront estate, which she shares with her husband and American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, was transformed into a Capri-inspired oasis for the fabulous affair. Lemon tree vines adorned the coral column-lined entryway, where waiters dressed in yellow Tommy Hilfiger polos greeted guests with a limoncello and Aperol Spritz upon arrival.

The afternoon’s transportive theme was a nod to the brand’s Italian craftsmanship and heritage. Launched in 2012, Dee Ocleppo hones in on designing luxury accessories from leather handbags to cocktail-ready pumps in addition to other elevated lifestyle pieces like silk pajamas and cashmere sets. “Capri is one of my favorite places in the entire world,” Hilfiger smiled. “All of my accessories are manufactured in factories near Capri, so I’m always inspired and lucky enough to visit a place so close to my heart often.”

Loved by editors and fashion icons including Beyonce, Kris Jenner, and Pippa Middleton, to name a few, Dee Ocleppo is an extension of Hilfiger’s timeless style where the classic feminine silhouettes feel contemporary and, most of all, fun.

Following a cocktail hour in the courtyard, guests mingled inside for some Italian fare. On the menu, guests enjoyed a spaghetti alla Nerano topped with fresh basil followed by a pan-seared branzino with lemon couscous. As for dessert, lemon sorbet topped with chilled vodka and prosecco was served in a martini glass.

Maghan McDowell of Vogue Business chatted with designer Angela Huntington about fashion’s foray into the world of web3 while Zach Weiss and Nick Mele swapped holiday plans. Sira Pevida and her brother, Alex Acero, caught up with Laure Heriard Dubreuil, founder of The Webster. Nearby Jordan Rhodes and Rosie van Cutsem reminisced about the joys of life in London with Paterson.

In the open-air living room, satin-bow sparkly pumps and a pair of Dee Ocleppo’s the Alexandra boots decorated the beachy-chic space. On the beautifully designed tables, a patterned clutch on each place setting served as the perfect token for guests to bring a piece of Hilfiger home.
