I had the opportunity to attend the Who What Wear x Chandon's Superwoman Power Hour with special guests, designer Rebecca Minkoff, Chandon's winemaker Pauline Lhote, VP of talent Rachel Zeilic, & Bumble's Director of Content Strategy Andee Olson. The night was filled with great conversation and endless bottles of Chandon (they were even in a bathtub!).

The event highlighted the launch of Chandon's Winter Collection. For the second year in a row the bottles were designed by #ChandonSquad member Rebecca Minkoff, who infused her edgy and playful style into these limited-edition bottles.

The night kicked off with a power hour discussion about being a woman in this industry and paving a way for yourself. It was extremely inspiring hearing these ladies stories about overcoming obstacles and not allowing set backs to hold you back. They also touched on the importance of surrounding yourself with talented female leaders and role models. Often times us women feel the need to compete with one another when the goal should be collaboration over competition; we are so much more powerful as a squad!
