Liya Kebede, model and founder of Lemlem, a brand of women’s and children’s knits made in Ethiopia, is opening a pop-up at Gurney’s in Montauk. She fills us in!
What’s the story with your Gurney’s pop-up?
We will be offering pieces from our Spring and High Summer collections as well as exclusive cover-ups, dresses and kids products.
What’s your favorite piece from the summer collection?
I love our statement Mara dress. It can easily be worn from day to night and it is such a memorable, fun piece to wear on a summer evening.
How much time do you spend in the Hamptons?
I try to get out to the Hamptons at least a few weekends each summer. I also love going out there in the off-season when it is a little more quiet and relaxing. A perfect Hamptons weekend would consist of lots of beach time with my friends and family, a trip into town for some ice cream and a leisurely dinner at home with friends.
