The excellent thing about the internet is just how much the individual reach has been broadened by it. Years ago, not too many people thought that one could make contacts in another country, especially having never traveled there. Of course, increased corporate globalization and myspace have changed that thought process in most recent years. However, for some, establishing virtual relationships just won’t cut it. Some still prefer to meet “in-person”, shake hands and share a meal.

The ladies of Concrete Stilettos understand. Mahelia, co-founder, knows the importance of an actual meeting. The Netherlands native has spent many years back and forth between Amsterdam and NYC making lasting impressions and establishing good relationships. But the Concrete Stilettos network isn’t just about people meeting people; it’s more about countries meeting countries.

Concrete Stilettos brings Amsterdam to the streets of NYC for Amsterdam 2012. There’s more to Amsterdam outside of where van Gogh grew up, the abundance of marijuana and the infamous Red Light District. The goal of Amsterdam 2012 is to introduce the other side of Amsterdam to international tastemakers and potential partners– highlighting cutting edge trendsetters (high-profile and creative) of Amsterdam today. Not only will this event celebrate collective creativity but it will also acknowledge the historical connection between Amsterdam and NYC.  The event will take place March 5, 2008 at Gallery Bar in NYC.

Concrete Stilettos is an innovative media, fashion, event and branding consultancy focusing on metropolitan areas such as Amsterdam, New York, Paris and London. Established in 2006, Concrete Stilettos responds to each commission with creativity, originality and practicality-whatever the environment or aspiration. For more please visit their myspace.
