To celebrate International Women’s day Vital Voices has planned various events across the globe. The London event was the first to kick off at the Diane von Furstenberg shop in Mayfair. As I arrived promptly at six for the cocktail I was greeted by all the Brower Lewis staff (Diane von Furstenberg’s PR people) and the wonderful sales assistants all dressed in various DVF dresses. Soon the shop was buzzing with a good atmosphere as it was filled with the 100 or so people who attended, including some guests who came all the way from Paris. With people talking, networking and shopping, it made for a very lively event. Women loved the fashion and quite a bit of shopping was done!
I spoke about Vital Voices and their role not only in training and empowering women leaders but also in combating Human Trafficking. Young women who I spoke to were very interested in the issue of Human Trafficking.
We all left with a bag, containing Vital Voices literature and a Diane von Furstenberg t-shirt.
