Quince’s Imitation Games

Even its name is a knockoff: In 2024, Gupta & Co. were sued by another Quince, a well-regarded fine dining restaurant in San Francisco, which had been receiving returns and fielding customer service calls for Quince.com. Photo: Courtesy of Patrick D. MacLeod

The wedding of long-suffering Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and billionaire nepo baby Alex Soros was made possible by all the expected brands. Abedin-Soros wore Erdem, Oscar de la Renta, Givenchy, and Marchesa fashions to various sequences of the affair; Soros wore a Dior tux. Met Gala florist Raúl Àvila designed arrangements; the stationery was procured from St. Louis’s Cheree Berry. To be honest, I found Vogue’s depiction of the affair a little melancholy and suitably weird. (Abedin-Soros recalled Anna Wintour and Clinton choosing the wedding date. And Soros, who was supposed to be in Europe at a conference on the same day, was said to have acquiesced.) The only surprising element of the proceedings, in my view, was the last-minute procurement of a pile of Quince blankets, provided to guests during the cold and rainy Hamptons ceremony.
