THE ARRIVAL

The afternoon began at Reserve Padel Upper East Side, where Gabi Diniz welcomed influencers and friends of the brand for The Perfect Match. Guests gathered for conversations before the activities began, setting the tone for an intimate New York Fashion Week experience.

Before the activities began, guests spent time catching up and exploring the venue.

The afternoon began with each guest in her own outfit, before the Clarita 100 White became part of the experience.

THE DAY

The Clarita 100 White took center stage in an unexpected way. With several pairs of the signature sandal on hand, Gabi Diniz slipped into a pair, inspiring the influencers to join her for a playful high-heel moment on the court. The spontaneous activity became an opportunity to capture photos and videos, with the iconic white bows bringing a distinctly Alexandre Birman touch to the occasion. Pink towels, custom rackets and branded padel balls brought the event's visual identity onto the court, while sweets and refreshments welcomed guests between activities. Against the vibrant green setting, these details became part of the photographs and videos captured throughout the afternoon, adding a distinctly Birman perspective to the experience.
