A Newport Summer
A nostalgic journey into the heart of Newport, Rhode Island.
Photographer Nick Mele and designer Ruthie Sommers capture the quiet grandeur and lively traditions of Newport, one of America’s last enclaves of old-world high society. From foggy June mornings to yacht races in July and elegant gatherings in August, this intimate portrait reveals the storied mansions, seaside clambakes, and timeless traditions that define a Newport summer.
With Sommers’s evocative text and Mele’s exquisite photography, A Newport Summer is a love letter to a world where history and elegance never fade.
