Eternal beauty icon Christie Brinkley is keeping busy. The Sports Illustrated The cover model is known for setting high standards in the 1980s with her style of management, class and elegance. Recently, she battled skin cancer, launched a clothing line, and says “70 is the new 40.”
In May, Brinkley launched a women’s clothing line with HSN, called Twrhll. It was inspired by his historic 11,000-square-foot Bridgehampton home he calls “Tower Hill,” which he’s owned since 1998.
“I’m already working on next year’s looks, so I’m excited for next year’s fashion,” Brinkley said. “We’re starting specifically with HSN, but we’re looking at other opportunities as well. But HSN is a great place to start because they know their customer, they know what they want. It’s very exciting and I’ve learned a lot many.”
At the age of 70, she is still staring at the cover of magazines. She recently graced her July cover for the luxury lifestyle issue Journal of Public Health this weekend at Polo Hamptons (the final game takes place on July 27). In a photo shoot with Antoine Verglas, she wears items from her new Twrhll collection, as well as an Urban Zen dress by Donna Karan. Twrhll offers casual work wear, leisure wear, swimwear and outerwear. It has what Brinkley calls an “extraordinary softness” to it.
At the Polo Hamptons party, there’s a reason why he’s sporting a western look with a big rich man’s hat. In March, she had an appointment with a dermatologist, where Brinkley pointed out an area on her face, near her hairline, that needed a biopsy. It turned out to be basal cell carcinoma, a type of cancer that occurs in areas exposed to the sun. She took it out and now she doesn’t leave the house without SPF on her skin, and that’s usually why she wears a wide brimmed hat.
Ken and Maria Fishel hosted a pre-polo reception at their venue with friends and VIPs including Ramona Singer, Luann De Lesseps, Candace Bushnell, Nicole Miller, Leesa Rowland, Ellen Vaughan, among others , to support the Old Bags Luncheon.
Guests at the Polo Hamptons include Julia Haart, Ryan Serhant, Jean Shafiroff and Community LifeKeynote speaker Devorah Rose, and Chloe Melas, among others.
“People love polo,” said Justin Mitchell, publisher of the Community Life and CEO of Polo Hamptons. “If you live in the Hamptons and you want to see polo, it’s not easy to do. Most of the polo you have in the Hamptons is private. He is a lover of horses and polo and built a polo field. This is not open to the public. ”
Mitchell and his team have been hosting polo in Bridgehampton for nine years. It was originally held here 20 years ago, but as Mitchell says, “the price of real estate went up in the Hamptons, the land was sold and made into luxury homes, so the polo disappeared.”
It was only until he met the polo players in 2016, who said they wanted to return to it. We founded Polo Hamptons, we found this place and built it from the ground up. he said. “Now, the public has access to polo and can buy a ticket to the event.”
Brinkley has hosted Polo in the Hamptons since its inception in 2015. “Polo is a staple, a very Hamptons thing,” he said. This meeting represents summer in the east.
Polo has become his way of promoting his Bellissima, sugar-free wine brand. Also vegan wine and natural prosecco. “It’s all natural and vegan, and it’s non-GMO,” Brinkley said. On the bottles, there is an image of a woman who remembers the “Rise of Venus,” an old master painting by Sandro Botticelli.
“We were one of the first on the market to have zero sugar,” he said. “When you put all these things together, we’ve created a new category of wine that’s good for you, good for the planet.” Wine from in a vineyard in Italy.
More than anything else, Brinkley is looking forward to one thing as summer comes to a close in the Hamptons. “It’s basically just those days and until the evening and sitting outside in the moonlight,” he said.
