Celebrating Women in Fashion: The ‘What She Said’ Series
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is a globally recognized event, but it's not just about showcasing clothing; it's also a powerful platform for dialogue and empowerment. This year, the W Hoboken and Modern Day Wife combined forces to host the 'What She Said' speaker series, a notable event celebrating the voices of women in the realms of fashion, beauty, and wellness. On February 15, nearly 1,000 attendees gathered in Hoboken to engage with inspiring leaders and trailblazers from various industries.
A Night of Inspiration and Connection
The event featured dynamic panels, live entertainment, and a fashion show, creating a unique atmosphere that emphasized community and support among women. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from influential speakers such as Hannah Wright, the winner of Love Island, actress Catherine Bradley, and influencer Davide De Pierro. Their stories resonated with many, illustrating the multifaceted paths women can take in their careers.
Amplifying Female Voices in an Exclusive Setting
The evening was designed to not only include conversations but also to allow guests to participate actively in an immersive experience. Pop-up shops featuring skincare and beauty brands, including Lumara and EpicLight Beauty, provided guests with tangible connections to the ethos of Modern Day Wife. This intentional design transformed the event into more than just talks; it was an engaging space where attendees could learn and shop, fostering an environment of empowerment through education and commerce.
Looking Ahead: A National Tour
With this event marking the kickoff of their national tour, the founders of Modern Day Wife, Meghan Fialkoff and Meagan Elieff, expressed excitement for what’s to come as they plan to reach communities across the country. Upcoming events are scheduled in cities like Chicago, Miami, Beverly Hills, Dallas, and Scottsdale. ‘This is a powerful moment for us and for the communities that have supported our vision from the beginning,’ they said, emphasizing their commitment to creating meaningful experiences for women nationwide.
Social Impact Through Fashion
The push for sustainability and female empowerment aligns with broader global movements in the fashion industry. Notably, organizations like IMPACT NYFW are championing sustainable fashion practices while promoting inclusivity. Drawing parallels between these initiatives, the collaboration between Modern Day Wife and W Hoboken contributes to changing the narrative around women’s roles in fashion and beauty industries, advocating for a voice that not only resonates but also actively participates in shaping the future.
A Call to Participate and Support
As the landscape of fashion transforms, events like 'What She Said' highlight the importance of supportive networks for women. By attending these events, you’re not just enjoying a night out; you are investing in communal voices that challenge norms and promote inclusivity and sustainability. Consider visiting the next event in your city. The experience is more than seeing fashion; it's about being part of a movement.
