The luxe of the luxury industry turned out on Tuesday evening for a cocktail party at the only shoe salon in America with its own Zip-Code. 10022-shoe
Saks Fifth Avenue, InStyle and Assouline hosted a soirée to celebrate Assouline’s
The Shoe Book, a conclusive and visually compelling volume on footwear.
The slick, thick, perfectly red book will match any outfit and the compact size is perfect for the beach or bedside table. Each section of the book is a visual delight (like peeking into a timeless shoe closet) with informative contributions by Manolo Blahnik, Bruno Frisoni, Christian Louboutin, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The wonderfully expansive Saks Fifth Avenue's shoe salon entertained more than 160 shoe connoisseurs. The book signing table for The Shoe Book author Nancy MacDonell was strategically placed in the center. Making it easy to buy a book . . . get it signed . . . sip Champagne or white wine . . . mix and mingle with the fashion elite and try & buy the shoes for your feet. . . .honestly that rhyme just came out.
a few facts about Saks . . . . . rhyming again

All this history and they still know how to throw a good party. Thank you haute-historic Saks, always entertaining InStyle Magazine and the luxury publishing house Assouline.
Your "high stepping" party kept us on our toes.
