Inside our NYFW Decompress Event at

Livingston Manor Fly Fishing Club

A few weeks ago, international influencers and editors made their seasonal pilgrimage to New York Fashion Week, and we were, of course, there. Instead of putting on a show, we decided to invite our friends to an intimate post-fashion week decompress event at Livingston Manor Fly Fishing Club. Our guests were not only invited to see our various collections, but they also got to experience the Lexington way of life and to decompress after a hectic fashion week. Scroll down and see the two-day get-together in celebration of good design and nature's soothing powers.

Our guests got to rest their heads on Icons such as our Arts & Crafts Sham.

The tents was given a Lexington treatment and turned into the ultimate glamping area.

Couches and chairs were outfitted with throws our friends could hang around their shoulders when the temperature drops.

The combination of velvet and leather was a beautiful one. Here, you see our Fall '19 Logo Velvet Sham.

This was the first thing our friends saw when they got to Livingston Manor Fly Fishing Club. The old school old convertible was a nice touch.

The benches in the backyard were also decorated with our shams and throws to make dining outside as comfortable as possible.

Founder and CEO of Lexington Company put the final touches as guests made their way from Manhattan to Upstate New York where the two-day event was held.

Lawn furniture were spruced up with different shams from our fall collection.

We kept the decor super simple and chose colors to complement nature's beauty.

A pop of yellow and orange flowers looked great in such a green space.

Anna, one of the founders of LMFFC, wore our Isa Flannel shirt and looked the part of a great hostess.

Yellow and orange colors were repeated in the kitchen were guests found some refreshments.

The ingredients used for the food were locally foraged or organically farmed, where available.

Influencer Caleb Thill worked on his technique during our NYFW Decompress event before we went out fly fishing.

All of our guests were captivated by the art of fly fishing and couldn't stop taking in our angling instructor Bruce.

Our guests, Laura Jung, Caleb Thill and Sophia Li spent some quality time in the sauna.

Dinner by the river was truly a magical and serene experience.

The NYC establishment Ducks Eatery cooked the delicious dinner.

Maitakes cooked over an open fire were served with fire-roasted corn.

Heirloom tomatoes and grain salad was served as a healthy side dish.

Chef duo Will and Julia Horowitz created a menu inspired by nature.

Before enjoying a nice dinner, we tried delicious botanical cocktails by Laura Silverman from the Outside Institute.

The cocktails made from herbs Laura had foraged were a hit. If you'd like to try one of the concoctions <a href="https://www.lexingtoncompany.com/the-journal-botanical-cocktail-recipe" title="click here" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here</a> for the recipe.

The second day started with a farm breakfast spread.

Laura Silverman took our guests on a foraging excursion and shared her wisdom with us all. If you're a new forager make sure to check out a little guide we put together for you here.

Next on our schedule was a sage bundling session.

Our friends chose their favorite herbs and flowers to bundle.

The bundles that are usually burned once dried were taken home as keepsakes.
