BAZAAR And IWC Schaffhausen Host A Dazzling Power Women Luncheon

Sparkle and wisdom, grace and grit, boldness and beauty… There are countless ways to describe what was brought to the table at the Harper’s BAZAAR and IWC Schaffhausen luncheon, attended by 10 exceptional women. Held at modern Australian restaurant, Whitegrass, the afternoon fête went beyond a leisurely lunch—it was a class in contrasts: Striking Pilot and Portofino timepieces in bell jars were juxtaposed against delicate, pastel blooms; intricately plated dishes exploded with layers of flavour; and creative connections ignited conversations on innovation, empowerment and entrepreneurship, with a few new business partnerships forged. Indeed, there’s nothing quite like good company and bubbly to spark an exchange of scintillating ideas.
