At Piáto, we believe every event tells a story. This past Saturday, we had the privilege of writing a particularly glamorous chapter as we catered Jimmy Choo's Women's Day celebration in the heart of Lisbon.
The iconic footwear and accessories brand transformed their flagship store into a celebration of female empowerment that would have made Carrie Bradshaw and her Manhattan friends proud. As guests walked through the doors, they were greeted not just by stunning displays of the latest collection, but by our attentive staff offering trays of perfectly chilled Cosmopolitans – a fitting tribute to the fearless femininity that both Jimmy Choo and Women's Day represent.
Setting the Scene
The evening began with the soft pop of champagne corks as we served coupes of premium bubbly alongside classic Martinis.
A Feast for the Senses
While the drinks paid homage to certain Manhattan socialites we all know and love, our canapé selection showcased the finest Italian-inspired delicacies:
- Delicate beef carpaccio topped with crushed pistachio and microgreens
- Artisanal crostini topped with creamy gorgonzola and port wine poached pears
- Miniature classic tiramisu served in elegant glass cups for a sweet finish
Each offering was designed to deliver a perfect bite of flavor while still allowing guests to navigate the event with ease – after all, as a certain New York columnist once discovered, trying to juggle fine food and designer merchandise requires a special kind of finesse.
The Perfect Pairing
Just as the right pair of shoes can transform an outfit, the right catering can transform an event. At Piáto, we pride ourselves on understanding the essence of each brand we partner with and creating culinary experiences that enhance their unique identity.
For Jimmy Choo, this meant bringing a touch of playful sophistication to the table – something that matched their elegant designs but with a contemporary twist that kept the event feeling fresh and vibrant.
Looking Forward
As we packed away the last of our equipment and the final guests slipped out into the Lisbon night (some perhaps contemplating which pair of shoes to add to their collection), we couldn't help but feel grateful to be part of such a meaningful celebration.
In a world where women are constantly breaking barriers and redefining success on their own terms, it felt appropriate to raise a Cosmopolitan in their honor – and to do so surrounded by beautiful shoes would certainly get Carrie Bradshaw's seal of approval.
