All about AloChic Meet no. 2

I was telling you here about the AloChic Meet no. 2 that was going to happen last Thursday. Now it's time to tell you all about it!

The girls from AloModa have planned to take us with every AloChic Meet to another concept store which holds Romanian designer pieces so that the public gets familiar with all these concept stores (that are usually on hidden little streets, far away from the hassel of the main boulevards).

For the second edition of the event, they have chosen Ordinary People, a lovely concept store that displays the wonderful creations of Lena Criveanu, Adelina Ivan, Alina Latan, Kinga Varga,  Anca Lefter - bag designer, Kristina Dragomir - hats, Mircea Codrin -  painter and many more you can discover on your own. They have some wonderful shoes from Melissa, Sepala and Chriselen B, so there's plenty of reason to visit the concept store.

The highlight of the evening was the launch of the AlocChic Pumps by Pixie Shoes collection. The design belongs to the AloModa girls while for the flawless creation the responsibles are the Pixie Shoes girls - who also came up with the idea of this collaboration. The design of the shoes is a classic one, featuring a comfy platform and a 12cm heel (but very comfy). Made of suede, they come in two colours: Purple - AloModa's signature colour - and Nude - the new black! A special feature is the contrasting colour of the sewing and the fabric label: for example, the Nude shoes have purple sewing and a purple fabric label on one side. Here are some photos of these beautiful babies:

The collection is limited edition so there are only 20 pairs available (on Thursday, two were already booked)! They will be made by order only, (it takes up to 10 working days to have them made) so hurry up and order them online here: andreea@alomoda.ro / adriana@alomoda.ro. Also, the shoes will be stamped on the inside with the number of the order, so you can always remember the uniqueness of these shoes. If you want to see the shoes first, you can go to the Pixie Shoes showroom (33 Baratiei Str.) and check them out. More on them, in a future article!

The evening continued with a styling contest: 3 girls were chosen and their task was to assemble an outfit and explain everything about it. The jury made of Andra Clitan, Alina Ene and Sanziana from Pixie Shoes chose the winner: a funky girl who combined some nudish items with splash-like colourful prints from Lena Criveanu. The prize? A limited edition goodie bag offered by Cointreau featuring the signature style of Dita von Teese!

The winner

Other finds: the lovely floral displays made by Adina from En Rose especially for the AloChic meet, keeping true to the style of the eveing - tres chic - using feathers, pearls, lace and leather gloves.

Also, I think you would want to check out the Cointreau website as they have a special concept contest  prepared for all party girls out there. Why would you be interested? Because cute bartenders are involved!

All in all, it was an awesome evening: we laughed, talked all about fashion, journalism, music, books, Bucharest and everything in between, drinking tasty cocktails, admiring beautiful creative clothes, bags and shoes!

 Be sure you won't miss the following edition of the event which will be next spring. Until then, lets hope that quality events like this will happen even more often and that they will become tradition.
