#FNO: Shiraz Events Recap

For Fashion Night Out in NYC, Shiraz Events was part of the SoHo, West Village, and Madison/5^th Avenue madness! 

With a Wizard of Oz theme, we designed a  Yellow (brick road) carpet spread across the front sidewalk of the Furla boutique on Madison Avenue. The carpet lead to a branded taxi cab with graphics from Furla’s featured bag for the season. The theme continued into the event with emerald gems as focal points arranged on silk cushions and a “Yellow Brick Road” dessert; Olive Oil Pound Cake Sandwiches with Strawberries. See More>>

At the Tommy Hilfiger store on 5^th Avenue, attendance exceeded expectations. Tommy and the Hilfiger’s made an appearance and made sure to enjoy the signature cocktail designed by Shiraz Events: the Cucumber Basil Martini.

 With Rachel Zoe and the Project Runway cast making appearances at the SoHo pop-up store, Piperlime was a very popular spot. Lime green accents brought the brand Piperlime full circle, from the staffs belts, to the signature cocktail, Sage Citrus Surprise.  Our other events in New York included: Cavalli on Madison, Versace on 5^th Ave., Jill Sander– SoHo and Madison Avenue, Urban Daddy at Bloomingdales SoHo, Moncler’s new boutique in SoHo, Maison Martin Margiela, and Mango with Remy Cointreau.

Scientific Food Trends for the Summer!

Shiraz Events’ worldly inspired palate is one for ever-changing food trend ideas. When asked about ideas for a “Trends in Canapes” inspired story for Southern Hospitality, Shai and Yaniv suggested the following ideas which Shiraz Events  catering spices up for clients.

1. Gourmet Fusion Empanadas: The Latin community in Miami is so strong, so we’ve taken a basic concept of the empanada and created gourmet fusion empanadas. For example, filling them with fois gras and date compote. 

2. Lollipops: Local guests love their lollipop so we aim to please and serve salmon and goat cheese lollipops; as well as frozen red grape with pistachio and blue cheese. 

3. Cold Soup Bar: Watermelon gazpacho, chilled apple-ginger-carrot, chilled sweet pea and mint in demi cups- no cream, sounding mouth watering yet? Guests at the MOCA Gala found it irresistible. 

4. Molecular Gastronomy: We created caviar looking drops of flavor using molecular gastronomy. Lately, we’ve been serving a small bite size dessert with chocolate cups filled with grape mousse and pomegranate “caviar”. 

5. Food for Thought: We like keeping things fresh and lean, so grilled hors d’oeuvres are very popular. For example: grilled lime rubbed shrimp or aged beef bites.

Make sure to keep checking in for more food trend ideas! We always share on our Facebook too!
