Spring forward with Alexandre Birman's latest footwear collection launch held at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Alexandre Birman, a footwear designer on the pulse of fashion, celebrated the release of his spring 2013 collection at Saks Fifth Avenue with a host of New York’s most stylish starlets including Gossip Girl‘s Kelly Rutherford. The actress was ready to shop the collection, and ended up with a pair of yellow strappy stunners, which Birman autographed for a personal touch. Having been featured in the likes of Vogue, Elle and Bazaar, Birman also has strong Hollywood following with A-listers such as Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, and Emily Blunt all donning his sleek designs.
During our interview with Birman, he talked with us about the collection’s intricate fine details that include handcrafted accents and exotic materials. This season, Birman used a great deal of multi-hued snakeskin, and every pair could serve as the perfect palette to incorporate into your spring wardrobe. Birman said he was inspired by the color saturated in the rainforest of his native Brazil, where his father founded the footwear retailer Arezzo&Co in the 1970s. “I was born and raised in a shoe factory — and that’s not marketing, that’s the true story of my life,” says Birman. Even if you missed the party’s cocktails and DJ, you can still sink your feet into your very own striking pair of Alexandre Birman footwear at Saks.
