KIt Keenan launched her fashion line at the surf Lodge Plus Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Rowley, and Don Lemon partied in the Hamptons this weekend.

Maybe it was the stifling temperatures in the city, but New Yorkers decided to make this past weekend a splashy one all along Long Island's South Fork, from the Hamptons all the way to Montauk. In Bridgehampton on Friday night, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelly Ripa and Jane Krakowksi were among the well known names at Jonatham and Lizzie Tisch's home in Bridgehampton to launch the T&C contributor's new venture, LTD. At the Parrish Museum's annnual Midsummer Party in Water Mill on Saturday, art world machers like Robert Wilson and Chat Leat mingled with newcomers like collector Michael Xufu Huang and socialite Larry Milstein. Theirs was a very different crowd from the party at the Surf Lodge to kick-off Kit Keenan's new fashion line off street wear staples, KIT, which happens to ber her name but also a shorthand Montauk visitors would be well advised to remember: Keep it Together.
