Modern Day Wife Takes New York City: The Best Moments from the ‘Meet Me in New York’ Event
Inside the Intercontinental Barclay ballroom, Modern Day Wife curated nothing short of a shopper’s paradise, with brand activations and pop-ups featuring beauty must-haves, like milk_shake’s Dry-style bar to express DiamondGlo Diamond Serum infusion experiences with Skin Spirit. In the second ballroom, a dynamic panel of speakers inspired the MDW audience with insights on beauty and wellness, fashion and entrepreneurship with industry experts and celebrities like Alara Taneri of Netflix’s Perfect Match, two-time Emmy nominee Abby Labar, content creator Chloe Taylor and star of Netflix’s Selling the City Abigail Godfrey. The panel also included a fireside chat on all things beauty trends and shopping behavior with NewBeauty’s own Lara Eurdolian and celebrity cosmetic dentist and NewBeauty Brain Trust member, Victoria Veytsman, DDS.
Dozens of other industry leaders shared their wisdom, like co-founder and CEO of Hello Mamas Erika Hanafin and founder and publisher of World Bride Magazine Myrdith Leon-McCormack, before the guests were escorted to the fashion show runway, which kicked off with a performance by Briannagh D and featured designs from Popilush, Malash Designs, Mahogany Coast Swim, Elfida Artinoff presented by THOR and Couture Aprons.
And, of course, no Modern Day Wife is complete without a hefty swag bag. The VIP Meet Me in New York guests left the event with chic merchandise and coveted goodies from brands like LA Girl Cosmetics, Venture Pal, The Stil Trust and Santé New Zealand, tying the perfect bow on this gift of a night.
