On the Sep 26th, Long View Gallery in Washington, DC was the site of a lively evening of style, empowerment, and inspiration as DC Magazine brought its annual Women of Style celebration to this trendy art gallery. This bespoke event invited approximately 75 honored guests to come together in honoring remarkable women who truly embody what it means to be stylish-not just in fashion, but in their lives and careers. As the proud sponsor for such a great evening, we CHITALIVING felt very very privileged to be able to contribute our part to celebrating women's strength and achievements across diverse fields.
Women of Style: A Toast to Female Empowerment
DC Magazine's annual Women of Style is all about shining a spotlight on women in D.C. who really stand out. The honorees come from a wide array of industries such as politics, media, fashion, and philanthropy, which can reflect the cultural dynamism of D.C.'s dynamic cultural landscape. Women of style being recognized at the event this year include the following well-known DC based Television(TV) correspondents:
- Paula Reid, Chief Legal Correspondent at CNN
- Lesli Foster, Evening News Anchor at WUSA 9 (CBS)
- Erin Como, Fox5 Lifestyle Host
- Liz Landers, National Correspondent/News Anchor at Scripps News
- Jacqueline Alemany, Investigative Reporter for The Washington Post
- Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent for USA Today
These women were recognized, not only for what they had achieved but because of their powerful spirits to inspire others through determination, creativity, and perseverance. Their stories reminded us that style surpasses clothing; it is an attitude of strength, ambition, and community.
CHITALIVING: Stylish Comfort for All
As one of the sponsors of this prestigious event, CHITALIVING showcased the Audrey Sofa and Ambre Chair, two pieces that epitomize our commitment to making stylish and comfortable furniture accessible to anyone. At CHITALIVING, we believe that your living space should be an extension of your character and your lifestyle— just as each of these women showed her own journey on the evening of their honor, with poise and flair.

The synergy between our brand and the ethos at the Women of Style event was palpable. Much like these amazing women who forge their paths in traditionally male-dominated industries, we work to redefine the furniture industry with our focus on innovation, inclusivity, and design excellence.
A special shoutout goes to our inspiring guests, including influential figures like @sampikar, who described our collaboration as "the perfect combination of an elite car, luxury furniture, and a fashion magazine." And special thanks to @brendaanngerman, for the empowering words that celebrate the unstoppable spirit of women: "Here's to the #DrivenWomen who turn dreams into goals, hustle into success, and never stop pushing boundaries. We rise, we lead, we thrive— together."
We also partnered with @blind8project to bring eight dynamic women together for an evening of inspiration and bonding. The excitement generated from this partnership fuels our anticipation for next year's event and beyond.
