First Ladies Luncheon 2015

Saturday last week, I had the tremendous honor to take part in The First Ladies Luncheon, held at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. The experience was, to say the least, one of the most inspiring events I had the privilege to attend as it brought together exceptional women from all industries, all over the world to fight AIDS.

In attendance were role models and change agents: The First Lady of Austria Margit Fischer, Editor and Chief of Italian Vogue Franca Sozzani, former political turned corporate leader Susanne Riess, renowned photographer Ellen von Unwerth, entertainers including Paula Abdul, Kelly Osbourne, Dita von Teese, Brigitte Nielsen, and Dagmar Koller and of course keynote speaker Charlize Theron. These are only a handful of the attendees who came together, to combat this heart wrenching and development hindering disease.
