Designer Alessandra Facchinetti, who flew in from Milan, reimagined the Seinfeld’s barn to become a pop up shop offering an intimate group of guests a first chance to order her fall collection. The event, that was designed with a rustic décor, included a farm stand which included the iconic gommino loafer in a variety of bright colors.
Alessandra Facchinetti said: “I’m enthusiastic to be a part of this initiative and to support Baby Buggy, a charity that we have been a longtime supporter of. As an Italian company, that always pays attention to giving back and being charitable. Charity is part of our culture at Tod’s. We are engaging in important projects all over the world. A special thank you to Jessica Seinfeld who opened up her home to us to for this event, and for letting me get the chance to experience the Hamptons for the very first time.”
