As summer comes to a close, Creative Director and Luxury Event Planner Billy Folchetti curated an intimate soiree at Calissa in Water Mill on Thursday, August 28. The evening, hosted in partnership with skincare brand Duette and the Hamptons’ first legal dispensary, Charlie Fox, welcomed a curated circle of tastemakers including Million Dollar Listing’s Tyler Whitman, Duette founder Jennifer Leebow, and Charlie Fox founder Julia Levi.
Guests gathered in Calissa’s lush garden, where earthy tones, natural textures, and potted greenery set the stage for a Mediterranean-inspired dinner. Marigold and rosemary, hero ingredients in Duette’s formulations, appeared throughout the décor, from the color palette to delicate napkin details. The Grecian menu and DJ set evoked the spirit of a Euro Summer, offering a transportive end-of-season experience.
Heartfelt speeches from Jennifer Leebow, Julia Levi, and Billy Folchetti highlighted the importance of community and supporting small businesses. Attendees left with curated takeaways including Duette’s full skincare system and Charlie Fox branded gifts, a stylish reminder of the evening’s wellness-driven theme.
