Yigal Azrouel's Guide to the Hamptons
By Alexis Swerdloff
Israeli fashion designer Yigal Azrouel, known for his billowy, ultra-feminine, resort-friendly clothing, has recently expanded his empire, setting up shop in Watermill. His second boutique (Yigal’s flagship store is in the Meatpacking District), located in an 18th-Century carriage house, carries his ready-to-wear pieces along with his diffusion line, his Yigal Azrouel for K-Swiss sneakers and a curated assortment of Yigal-approved knick-knacks: candles, Criterion Collection DVDs, vintage eyewear and jewelry. In honor of his recent move, we asked him to compile for us a few of his favorite Hamptons spots. Take note, and perhaps you’ll be blessed with Yigal sighting –- in addition to being a skilled designer, he is quite a looker!

I looovvve Yigal Azrouel! His stuff is amazing and the Watermill store is gorgeous...plus its already filled with celebs: I just got word from a friend that Katie Lee Joel (as in Billy Joel's wife!) is going to be at Watermill boutique THIS saturday (the 21st) doing a book signing for her new cookbook "The Comfort Table"! It suppose to go from 1pm to 3pm and should be pretty exciting (if not for Katie...then from the complementary specialty drinks I hear are going to be served!)....
more details to follow but I though you might find this interesting!
