The launch of María Perón took place at 3.00 pm on Sunday, November 1. The sun smiled down on Melbourne. The venue was the beautiful Bistrot d’Orsay on Collins Street, courtesy of my friend Kenneth Meare, who is co-owner of the restaurant. Ken was there to greet people and offer them champagne (Veuve Clicquot, no less). He and his manager, the charming Scott, made sure everything ran smoothly. My friend Brenda added her magic touch with flower arrangements and candles, and the shoes looked stunning.
The atmosphere was loud and convivial. People frocked up because I purposely made the event “formal”. (I do love to see people looking nice!) All the ladies were delighted with my shoes. Another friend, tango dancer Renee, modelled some of the designs, and a gorgeous model she made.
Sometimes pictures tell a story better than words, and this is one of those times. Here are a few photographs and there are more on the way, thanks to Rex and Raymond Wen.
A toast to María Perón!
