A film producer and trained chef, Allison Sarofim is known in New York society as a fabulous hostess. Her notorious Halloween party has drawn guests including Naomi Campbell, Andy Cohen, and Demi Moore with its themes ranging from Freudian Slip to Calder’s Circus, to Murakami anime. For years, Sarofim has spent part of the year in Hawaii at her family’s home, a spectacular waterfront property designed in 1967 by Vladimir Ossipoff and originally owned by Clare Boothe Luce, the diplomat and writer of the 1936 play The Women. Last year, Sarofim launched Loulu Hawai‘i, a luxury skin-care line developed in Oahu’s Mānoa Valley. Here, she shares what’s caught her eye
