ABOUT ABOUT

Do you have a passion for fashion, technology, or writing? Or maybe you're an experienced home cook looking to open your first restaurant. Join us at The Hive, Philly's women-only co-working space for this informative and inspiring workshop with Alina Alter, founder of Aoki Boutique in Rittenhouse Square. 

Alina Alter transitioned into retail after years spent in the hospitality industry studying at the Cornell School of Hotel Administration and the Temple School of Tourism and Hospitality, and working under the likes of W Hotels and Garces Restaurant Group. Alina is a crafter, blogger, concert-goer, amateur photographer, avid reader, and seasoned traveler (having visited over 30 countries). After time spent living away from her native Philadelphia (stints in upstate New York, Tokyo, and Florida), Alina was thrilled to return to her hometown and join the thriving local small-business and fashion communities here. A true believer in fashion as a means of empowering instead of confining women, Alina hopes to encourage her customers to take risks, make statements, question the status quo, and look fabulous doing it.
