Vogue's Hamish Bowles shares his photo diary from Capri.
After the visit, I raced back to the hotel to freshen up for the big night, but not before investing in a pair of Caprese sandals from Schettino—another favorite haunt of Mrs. Onassis’s, as the sun-faded 1960s snapshots collaged on the wall bear witness—and some of the wickedly delicious pistachio, pine nut, and walnut cookies from Buonocore that Laura had served the night before.
That evening there were boats to ferry guests from the Conca del Sogno to the party by the fabled Faraglioni rocks, but I decided to walk instead with a group of friends down the endless, treacherously winding steps, picturesquely lit with lanterns for the night. At a turn in the path, the full moon was revealed in all its glory, reflected in the waters of the Faraglioni: a heart-stopping sight.
For her big night, Laura had commandeered Da Luigi, a famed island lunch and bathing spot on the rocks right in front of the Faraglioni that hasn’t been opened for dinner in decades. The tables had been laid with inky-colored hand-blocked Indian paisley cotton, canopied with blue and off-white striped tenting by Guido Toschi Marazzani Visconti, and lit with lightbulb garlands and wildly stylish bamboo lamps with Peregalli-printed cotton shades.
Laura, of course, was the belle of the ball, dressed in her friend Stephan Janson’s moonlight-colored dress. In the morning, I had one last dip in the sea and, later, lunch at the delightfully old-fashioned Torre Saracena, followed by a heart-stopping race to the Marina Grande to catch the ferry to Naples —absolutely exhausted but nevertheless recharged for the London collections.
