FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY-May 2013- Adirée announces today that Friday, June 14 2013, 7 P.M. EST, at Pikolinos Pop-up Store, 32 Gansevoort St New York, NY 10014, Adiree- an integrated communications and branding company for emerging luxury brands, the producer of Africa Fashion Week (AFW) New York and Pikolinos- a premium shoe brand and partner of AFW will be hosting a pop-up shop featuring premier luxury and sustainable African fashion inspired by and designed in Africa.
“Afterall, the concept of luxury is loved for its upstaging attribute of quality. However, our definition of luxury isn’t limited to the product; but involves the quality of lives involved in the production process.” The partnership with Pikolinos showcases the essence of products made in Africa, and the luxury of it- minus the insatiable focus on Africa as a charity, says Adiat Disu, Director of Adiree.
