I am so excited to write this blog because Alterre did it again!!! Alterre hosted a New York Fashion Week kick off party at The Slipper Room in the LES in NYC to show their Spring Summer 2016 collection.
Now this night was full of fun, "hanky panky", great drinks, burlesque and laughter - all mixed in with beautiful shoes!!
The Alterre girls, Shilpa and Harmony, always know how to have a good time; they invited me out to this awesome party and little did I know I was going to have the best time I had had in a while!
When we arrived, my boyfriend and I got our coats checked, a gift bag and our picture taken. We walked into the room and immediately went to say hi to Shilpa and Harmony, we spoke a while, joked around and they showed me the new collection before the Glitter Gutter show started.
As you have read in my past Alterre posts, their shoes are so, so, so worth every penny. They are easy on the feet, incredibly soft and comfortable, super versatile, can go from day to night and are great to travel with. The new collection is so chic and fun, with a name like "tropicalia" what else would you expect? Tropicalia was inspired by the vibrant colors of Brazil during Carnaval! Perfect timing for this collection to come out, the day after Mardi Gras and also during the coldest days of winter to help shake off our "winter blues" and get us ready for spring. The collection includes the classic styles: the sandal and the heel lifts and the Jackie, the Marilyn, the Elsie, the Billie and the Tilda. The difference is that the heels and looks have fun colorful geometric "carnaval" patterns and bright pops of colors that are just too cute!! AND they came out with a new color: cream! Perfect for the summer and your all white parties! With their patent-pending technology, you can easily achieve over 125 combinations; how easy is it to fool people into thinking you have that many shoes?
Took this straight from their media kit:
"Tropicalia bursts with pops of blues, greens and yellows while keeping to our classic aesthetic. It’s perfect for spicing up last season’s Alterres. Don’t worry, Tropicalia still has all the favorite classic styles, but with a few new twists. We’ve added a festive Carnaval print to some of the heels and brought Cream into the mix. Which means we’ve got you covered for that next White Party in the Hamptons!"
"Excitement" is the word perfectly describes the feeling you get when you see the collection. I'm ordering either the cream or blush carnaval starter kit - I can't decide which one I want yet!! (maybe both?? woops!) ;)
Below you'll see a preview of the new collection that you can pre-order and receive in March!
Now on to the PARTAY!
In one word, this party was AMAZING!
The drinks were great! Alterre was sweet enough to give everybody two drink tickets, so, of course, I got the Hanky Panky, which was the signature drink of the night. It had gin, sweet vermouth and fernet branca -yum, yum, yum! Shilpa and I took a beautiful picture together, because I had to show off her sexy dress! Harmony I could not find you!! They both found their super glittery, super glam dresses on Stylelend.com (my new favorite site)
There were several acts that were all incredibly entertaining, But my favorite had to be the couple that put on a mind blowing show! They were so strong, they danced and did the impossible, and unfortunately I can't remember their names (so embarassing.)
Others who performed were: Hazel Honeysuckle, Dangrrr Doll, Deity Delgado, The Sentimentalists, a go-go dancer, the Uni-cordion, Cecil Sinclair and Carla Rhodes. The cool part was that every performer was wearing a pair of Alterre shoes!
Shilpa handed out dollars to give to the dancers and she was even called up during The Sentimentalist's show! They are mind readers, and they had asked the audience to think of a show. Shilpa was thinking of the show "friends" and Dr. Mysterion guessed it!
I will most definitely be going back to The Slipper Room because it was such a great time. Nicky and I loved it.
It was so great, I never wanted to leave, but the LES parking rules reflect those of Cinderella's and gave us no choice but to leave at midnight :(
Onto the gift bag, which was filled with glorious life: glitter, glitter and more glitter, popcorn, a stylelend giftcard and some Uye Surana goodies.
I fell deeper in love with Alterre, they are killing the game right now: modern with a vintage twist and I am loving everything about it. I can't wait to see what else Alterre has in store for us; see you lovely ladies next time!
Can you wait to get your hands on the Tropicalia collection? I know I can't!
And, let me know, What's your Alterre Ego?
