Summer may have wrapped, but here’s a decidedly tongue-in-chic encore feature you certainly won’t want to miss. Despite her prominent perch by the beach in Sagaponack, Fairfield, super-tycoon Ira Rennert’s 110,000-square-foot mega-mansion is notoriously tight-shingled. Often referred to as the “House that Ate the Hamptons,†she sits on 63 acres, has 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, and her own synagogue, playhouse and basketball court. But after a little lubrication—one Grey Goose and soda—she opened up to The Daily Summer in an exclusive interview.

Gabby Karan De Felice chatted with Calvin Klein, probably about how fab it is to be a classic American designer.
