Lilly Pulitzer partners with Michael Kramer to design cottages for Nantucket Hotel & Resort

Fashion United6 days ago
Fashion and lifestyle brand Lilly Pulitzer has partnered with New York City-based interior designer Michael Kramer, from Michael Tomas & Co., to design two private cottages at the iconic Nantucket Hotel & Resort.
The collaboration sees Lilly Pulitzer working with Lee Jofa and Benjamin Moore, applying its new collection of fabrics and wall coverings to the garden-inspired cottages. Located outside of the hotel, the cottages were a blank canvas for Benjamin Moore's color offering.
Together, Lilly Pulitzer and Lee Jofa artists applied pattern-blocking, whimsical floral prints across headboards, drapes, accent pillows, and created hand-painted murals to design distinctive cottages that are both modern and nostalgic.
'The curated print selection is exceptional; our multi-colored 'She's Got Sol' serves as a pivotal design element, while the 'Costa Verde' chevron repeat, presented in various colorways across upholstery and wallcoverings, lends an ethereal quality,' said Suzanne Cohen, Chief Marketing Officer for Lee Jofa, in a statement.
'We are thrilled to partner again on a collection with Lilly Pulitzer and have our brands chosen for this important project.'
The first cottage includes a unique floral identity in each room, with one inspired by beach accessories. The second cottage features a more maximalist approach, with a mix of patterns, artwork, and colors throughout.
'We wanted these cottages to feel like garden parties you never want to leave,' said Kramer, in a statement. 'They're playful but sophisticated, designed for the guest who wants luxury and personality in equal measure.'
'Nantucket is a very important resort town where Lilly Pulitzer has celebrated along with the community for decades,' explained Mira Fain, Lilly Pulitzer's Chief Creative Officer. 'The Summer Cottages at The Nantucket are the perfect combination of all the things Lilly brand stands for: a world of Lilly's signature prints in an exquisite color palette, all wrapped up in a chic resort lifestyle.'
The collaboration included printed and branded elements across the cottages, like custom Lilly Cottage hand towels and bed linens, creating fully one-of-a-kind spaces.
'The hotel enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to redesign our one- and two-bedroom east cottages and work with Benjamin Moore, Lee Jofa, and Lilly Pulitzer to reveal a seaside-inspired collaboration for Nantucket By Design,' said Gwenn Snider, owner of Nantucket Hotel & Resort, in a statement.
The cottages are now open to the public for bookings from today onwards, and also offer Nantucket By Design's by-appointment walk-through visits and weeklong events. 'We are thrilled guests can check into these beautiful cottages, receive an instant dose of our uplifting brand, and build everlasting memories,' added Fain.
The partnership between Lilly Pulitzer, Michael Kramer, and Nantucket Hotel & Resort comes as more and more European hotels collaborate with luxury fashion brands to create a bespoke experience.
This summer saw the likes of Missoni working with boutique hotel resorts Oku Ibiza and Cali Mykonos, Burberry hosting a summer takeover of The Newt in Somerset, and Jacquemus opening a pop-up beach club and store in Casa Jondal, Ibiza.

Edinburgh street performer on the podium at the magic 'Olympics'

Matthew Keys, an Edinburgh-based magician, has just returned from Turin where he spent 10 days competing at Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM), the 'Olympics' of magic. On Saturday he won third prize in the new category of World Champion Of Street Magic. Out of more than 100 applicants, 29 were invited to compete in Turin and just twelve were deemed to be of a high enough standard to compete in the final. Matt said it was a real surprise to get through in the tough weather conditions and against the high standard set by other acts. He said: 'This is a brand new category so it's a historic moment as FISM recognises the ancient art of street magic, which many believe is where performance magic began. 'The competition took place in Turin, Italy and was organised by FISM in cooperation with the host partner Magic Masters. The conference and competition happens every three years with around 5,000 magicians attending from all over the world. 'It's regarded as the highest level at which you can compete as a magician. I have a nine month old, and was torn about leaving him and my partner to go off and compete, but we're all glad I made the decision to go to Italy. I'm so happy to bring back a prize and I've already had offers to perform at festivals across Europe because of it. 'I'm now hoping to use momentum from this win as a platform to organise a little magic and street arts festival on the Plymouth Barbican and in South East Cornwall where I grew up and my parents still live. In Edinburgh, I hope to one day open a small magic theatre as I think it is the perfect city to celebrate magic and there is a great community of magicians here. Several of them were in Italy and offering kind words and support as I competed.' And as for the trick he perfected for Turin, Matthew explained it in detail (without giving it away of course). He said: 'I performed a comedy magic show called Matt Von Trap, and had to adapt to entertain an Italian crowd. Using jokes I'd pre-recorded on a sound board and mixing mime and visual comedy with the existing magic act I performed to a strict 25 minute time limit – having to cut from my usual 40 minute act. 'I performed a mixture of classic magic and new effects. Turning a bubble into a coin. Producing another coin by peeling the letters 'n' and 'o' off from a tattoo on my arm that says 'nothing'. Leaving a 'thing' on my arm and the letters N and O burst into a fireball to become another coin. Nothing up my sleeve! 'I plunged my hand into a bear trap to find a signed card. This is an innovative version of the linking rings with my own unique choreography. 'I made several audience members knights of the guild of the bag of mystery as we hunted for a missing €100 and saved it from the jaws of the lemon of doom. 'I've now got invitations to perform in a few festivals around Europe and I'm looking forward to taking an act I've honed on the streets of Edinburgh to new audiences.'

Pregnant Vanessa Kirby shows off her baby bump in a stylish blue midi dress as she steps out in New York to promote Fantastic Four film

Vanessa Kirby showed off her growing baby bump in a blue dress as she arrived at the Live with Kelly and Mark show in Hudson, New York City on Wednesday. The pregnant actress, 37, looked incredible in the figure hugging midi dress showcasing her baby bump as she arrived at the talk TV show. Vanessa, who is expecting her first child, made sure to turn heads in the eye catching short sleeved number which boasted a bold thigh high split. The heavily pregnant Crown star elevated her frame in a pair of metallic blue heels and opted for a pair of black sunglasses. Styling her long blonde tresses in neat waves, the Mission: Impossible flashed her gorgeous smile as she waved to waiting fans. Vanessa announced that she is expecting her first child with American lacrosse player Paul Rabil, 39, earlier this year. The beauty, who starred as Princess Margaret in Netflix's The Crown, is allegedly set to head down the aisle with her athlete love after he popped the question, according to Page Six. Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours by walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. However, they didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023. At the time, Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple, including one of them embracing on a beach. 'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star. The couple have been spotted on several occasions together since 2022, but have kept quiet about their blossoming romance. Paul previously dated Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez and was married to fellow sportswoman Kelly Berger, from 2014 until 2017. In April 2022, Vanessa was linked to Christopher Abbott after the pair were spotted enjoying a drink at a trendy bar in London's Soho. The heavily pregnant Crown star elevated her frame in a pair of metallic blue heels and opted for a pair of black sunglasses The pair, who met when they played a married couple in the 19th Century romantic drama The World To Come in 2020, were deep in conversation at Ducksoup. An onlooker said the stars 'looked super comfortable in each other's company' as they drank wine and chatted for a couple of hours at an outside table. Vanessa previously dated Callum Turner after they starred in 2014's Queen And Country. She has currently been busy promoting the hotly-anticipated comic book adaptation, The Fantastic Four: First Steps recently. The film marks the latest reboot of Marvel's iconic superhero team and is one of the studio's most anticipated releases in years. In February, Marvel fans were delighted to see the first-look trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. They took to social media to give their opinions on the latest instalment of the superhero franchise, with one person writing on X: 'Okay the Fantastic Four trailer wasn't bad. I'm pleasantly surprised.' Another added: 'I'm not even a Fantastic Four fan, but this looks really sleek. It's nailing the period setting in the same way that First Avenger did.' Someone else weighed in: 'Watched the Fantastic Four trailer and I actually am excited for a Marvel movie again.' The film will be released nationwide in Australia on July 24.
