Southampton, New York, June 2026
Maison Close Southampton is bringing a new layer of style to the East End this summer with an exclusive uniform collaboration with Vilebrequin, the luxury French resortwear brand known for its Saint-Tropez heritage, vibrant prints, and elevated vacation spirit. Located within the Capri Southampton, Maison Close is using its inaugural Hamptons season to merge hospitality, fashion, and art into a complete visual experience.
The collaboration reimagines traditional restaurant uniforms through the lens of luxury resortwear. Rather than treating staff attire as a simple operational detail, Maison Close and Vilebrequin have transformed it into part of the restaurant’s atmosphere, creating a look that feels polished, playful, and unmistakably French.
A French Riviera Spirit in Southampton
Maison Close Southampton brings its signature Parisian dining experience to the Hamptons with a coastal sensibility inspired by the glamour and energy of Saint-Tropez. The restaurant’s setting at the Capri Southampton makes it a natural fit for a summer collaboration rooted in leisure, elegance, and warm-weather sophistication.
Vilebrequin, founded in Saint-Tropez and now recognized around the world, brings its distinctive approach to color, craftsmanship, and resort living to the partnership. With a boutique in East Hampton, the brand already has a strong presence in the area, making the collaboration feel both international and locally connected.
Together, the two French brands have created a uniform concept that reflects the relaxed refinement of the Hamptons while honoring their shared heritage. Crisp whites, ocean blues, and lively artistic accents come together to capture the feeling of coastal summer living.
Art Meets Hospitality
The uniforms draw inspiration from Vilebrequin’s Summer 2026 collection and its artistic capsule collection with renowned French artist Fabrice Hyber. Known for work that sits at the intersection of art, science, and nature, Hyber brings a whimsical and imaginative energy to the collaboration.
His “Pescador” print has been thoughtfully incorporated into Maison Close Southampton’s uniforms and accessories, including a neckerchief and bucket hat. The result is a look that feels refined without being overly formal, adding a sense of creativity and movement to the front-of-house experience.
Guests who are inspired by the collaboration can purchase pieces featuring the Pescador print at Vilebrequin’s East Hampton boutique and on Vilebrequin.com.
A Uniform Designed for the Guest Experience
For Maison Close, the collaboration is about more than clothing. It is part of a larger commitment to creating a complete hospitality environment where cuisine, design, service, and style work together.
“At Maison Close, we believe every detail contributes to the guest experience, including what our team wears,” said Theliau Probst and Thibaut Castet, owners of Maison Close. “Partnering with Vilebrequin allowed us to bring a sense of summer elegance into our Southampton location in a way that feels authentic to both brands. The uniforms are sophisticated, playful, and perfectly capture the energy we want guests to experience when they walk through our doors.”
The uniforms feature Maison Close branding alongside subtle Vilebrequin design signatures, creating a seamless dialogue between the restaurant and the resortwear house. Lightweight fabrics and tailored silhouettes ensure that the pieces remain practical for service while maintaining an elegant and memorable presence.
A Natural Collaboration Between Two French Brands
For Vilebrequin, the partnership reflects a shared appreciation for French culture, lifestyle, and hospitality. The collaboration allows the brand’s resortwear identity to move beyond the beach and into a new social setting.
“Partnering with Maison Close feels like a natural fit for Vilebrequin, as both brands celebrate the distinct luxury of French culture, from beachwear to cuisine,” said Roland Herlory, CEO of Vilebrequin. “We’re looking forward to highlighting our capsule collection created with famous French artist Fabrice Hyber on the restaurant staff in such an unparalleled and elevated atmosphere as Maison Close in their brand-new Southampton location.”
The partnership also reinforces the growing connection between hospitality and fashion, particularly in destinations where experience is just as important as design. At Maison Close Southampton, the uniforms become part of the restaurant’s storytelling, helping to shape the mood from the moment guests arrive.
Where Cuisine, Fashion, and Culture Meet
Maison Close Southampton’s collaboration with Vilebrequin transforms hospitality attire into a visual expression of contemporary summer living. By incorporating artistic elements from Fabrice Hyber’s work and the signature spirit of Vilebrequin, the partnership gives the restaurant a distinctive identity for its Hamptons debut.
Located within the Capri Southampton, Maison Close welcomes guests throughout the summer season for elevated French dining, vibrant celebrations, and an immersive atmosphere inspired by coastal living. Through this collaboration, the restaurant continues to redefine hospitality style, proving that great design belongs not only on the runway, but also at every table.
