In 2017, La Detresse became the product of a mutual obsession between the former stylists and friends for the perfect denim jacket. The duo, Alana Hadid and Emily Perlstein founded this brand and produced a line of denim and knitwear in Los Angeles. “Our intent is to fuse our love of vintage and androgyny with wearability and innovation to deliver you a closet staple on which you can build your wardrobe”.
Curated in DTLA but accessible anywhere, the clothing brand La Detresse celebrated the launch of their Summer Trip collection in New York City. With the best view of the Brooklyn Bridge and a captivating skyline, Alana and Emily hosted a happy hour for guests to enjoy Belvedere Vodka speciality cocktails, Martini & Rossi spritz cocktails and ROSALUNA mezcal signature drink along with light bites at the Dante Seaport in the South Street Seaport area.
As the night went on, there was an appearance from sister, Bella Hadid, in support of her sister’s achievements. The Hadid’s were then joined by Euphoria star Chloe Cherry, Cassandra Grey, Samantha Ronson, Maria Alia, Meredith Fineman, Dakota Lohan, Jonboy, Mike Tommasiello, Harry Hill, Timo Weiland and Olivia Perez. The evening provided opportunities for more special moments to enjoy conversation and fun music provided by DJ Martial. Guests were later gifted a special recycable tote bag filled with KORRES beauty items and Uncommon Goods’ special “THANK YOU” satchel by artist Lauren DCioccio for iOPEN EDITION filled with items from Necessaire, Grande Cosmetics and Tom’s Perfect 10 granola (of Eva Chen husband fame).
With treats and a good time to remember the night, La Detresse continues to make moments as they create visions through their collections!
