Refined Elegance on the American Riviera

Step into a world of manicured gardens and sophisticated leisure. Captured in May 1975 by Slim Aarons, "California Garden Party" depicts a poolside luncheon at the private estate of Dorothy Laughlin in Santa Barbara.

Unlike the wilder pool parties of the era, this scene radiates a sense of calm, "Old Money" refinement. The guests are impeccably dressed in colorful 70s attire, mingling in front of a stunning white garden pavilion surrounded by deep green foliage and perfectly arranged white hydrangeas.

This print is a masterclass in composition and symmetry. It brings a sense of order, peace, and timeless luxury to any dining room, sunroom, or traditionally styled living space.
