SETTING SALE: The Ladies Who Lunch became the ladies who shop on Tuesday, when Serena Boardman, Dori Cooperman and Kinga Lampert hosted a midday fete at Valentino’s Madison Avenue boutique to introduce the label’s fall capsule collection. Celerie Kemble, Marina Rust and Coralie Charriol sifted through racks of pre-fall inventory that had been discounted 20 percent and spring items that had been marked down 40 percent. “It’s such a good deal you can’t afford not to buy anything,” said Cooperman of the reduction that will be available to the public in June. Proceeds from the event went to City Meals on Wheels and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
