Everlane and Marques’ Almeida Host a Dreamy Dinner Celebrating the Launch of Their First-Ever Collaboration

On a breezy Wednesday evening in Tribeca, Everlane and Marques’ Almeida hosted a delightful spring awakening with an intimate dinner celebrating the launch of their latest collaboration.

As the evening unfolded on the fifth floor of the Tiwa Gallery, guests were greeted by the gentle flicker of candles that were placed across a dreamy tablescape, casting a cozy glow upon the ranunculus-adorned spread that stretched nearly fifty seats wide. For the first half of the evening, guests sipped on specialty cocktails crafted by Yana Volfson—aptly named The Marques, The Almeida, and The Everlane—while perusing the collection of colorful wardrobe staples, from a military green cargo jacket to pink slip dresses and colorful cardigans.

“We were playing with this idea of doing a collaboration at Everlane with our liability yarns and fabrics,” said Mathilde Mader, Everlane’s global creative director. “We went through all the colors we had and reached out to Marta [Marques] and Paulo [Almeida] to collaborate with them, and it was just so easy and natural to work with them.” The collaboration itself is a first of its kind for Everlane, with Marques’ Almeida infusing their signature flamboyance into Everlane s wardrobe staples to create pieces that marry functionality with trend-focused design. “It was a super exciting project to do because the thing we have in common is that we like making garments that you can wear all season, all year round,” Almeida added.

At 8 PM, dinner service commenced, led by culinary virtuoso Camille Becerra, who introduced attendees to a sumptuous Portuguese-inspired feast. Katie Holmes, Ella Emhoff, and Eric Rutherford indulged in a delectable spread featuring an array of Mediterranean delights, from tinned fish to fresh olive oil-poached swordfish, all served as a nod to Marques’ Almeida’s Portuguese heritage. To end the evening, a bounty of mouthwatering pastel de nata was brought out, and guests were welcomed to take one (or three) home with them.
