On a golden afternoon downtown, Vanessa Sposi and Laura Brown gathered an inner circle of fashion’s most discerning eyes for an intimate luncheon at Printemps New York, unveiling a resort capsule that feels like a love letter to modern femininity.
The collection—exclusively housed within the soaring marble halls of Printemps’ One Wall Street flagship—is a study in contrasts: Parisian polish meeting coastal ease; a city-to-sea wardrobe for women who collect stamps in their passports as easily as compliments.
In Salon Vert, beneath the culinary direction of Gregory Gourdet, guests lingered over a meal that was as carefully composed as the capsule itself. Between courses, conversation spilled from style to summer plans, with the kind of easy intimacy that can only come from a table set with friends.
Among the polished crowd: Nicole Ari Parker, Cara Buono, Racquel Chevremont, and Jessica Joffe mingled with style muses including Christie Tyler, Eniko Mihalik, Alina Timo, Indré Rockefeller, Dione Davis, and Rajni Jacques.
The LB Collection is a refined edit of sleek resort pieces: antioxidant-infused swimwear, feather-light linens, and a whisper of irreverence—every piece a conversation between Sposi’s eco-conscious craftsmanship and Brown’s razor-sharp wit.
For Printemps, the collaboration is another jewel in the crown of its bold American debut. The Financial District newcomer—already a destination for fashion, art, and hospitality—fuses the maison’s Parisian heritage with a distinctly New York energy, creating a playground for those who prize experience as much as style.

Vanessa Sposi continues to craft swimwear that marries conscience with couture—made in Europe, woven with innovation, and imbued with the timeless allure of sea and sun.
As the last glasses of rosé were lifted, the spirit of the day was clear: a celebration not only of a collection, but of a way of dressing—and living—that is effortlessly, unmistakably chic.
