Happy Thursday! I promised to report on my night of Business and Fashion Networking sponsored by Brightrize! My friend Lynne and I managed to make it to the event last night , and realized much of the fashion hype was a lure for the business networking crowd. The event which was held at Club District 26 on 36th St., had an attendance of around 300 people . Because, the event was promoted as a connection to fashion week there were many young model types, magazine journalist, photographers, bloggers, designers, mixed with 14 sponsors such as TD Bank and Studio V Health.
Carol Roth was the guest speaker promoting her new book
"The Entrepreneur Equation".
As I walked around and starting chatting with the crowd, I realized, that this event had managed to gather an incredibly fascinating, interesting and creative group of amazing people! A young model,
Anjhula Singh Bais , told me she was there representing Vogue India. Ingrid Kaempfert from
Exotique Destinations was putting together a "Sex in the City" travel group to Marrakesh. Jessica Chamberlin, CEO of
Creative Human Capital, chatted about her ability to help entrepreneurs take their company to a higher level and realized that we both loved Paul Smith, the designer, I just posted on my blog. I found Jessica to be absolutely brilliant! Eventually ran into a fellow fashion blogger,
Jessica Kelly from
livingembellished.blogspot.com. All in all, the night turned out extraordinary, even if the fashion did not meet any of our expectations!
