(NEW YORK) Hampton din dish! Enjoying the final days of summer, vBeauté founder Julie Macklowe, husband Billy, and Susan Shin hosted a swank "Agents of Change"-themed bash at Macklowe's Sagaponack home over the weekend. Guests, including the likes of Vivienne Tam, Estee Lauder’s John Demsey, Vogue-tte Sarah Brown, CNN’s Alina Cho, and Carolina Zapf of Baby CZ, threw a din for folks who are all about vision, innovation, and “out of the box” thinking. 

Enjoying Veuve Clicquot champagne, Zacapa Rum cocktails, Terrazas de los Andes wine, and edibles by Elegant Affairs, attendees celebrated Seven Bar Foundation, a non-profit organization empowering women via microfinance. Also on the charitable docket: Validas, whose VERA platform redirects “wireless waste” to fuel microfinance in order to create sustainable future for women. Besides that karmic uplift, there was some beautification on tap: Macklowe gifted guests her iconic purple vBeauté "It Kit". 

Wonder what Macklowe is up to next? On November 14, the beauty entrepreneur is co-hosting a "Where the World Meets" VERA launch party, consisting of a fashion show and art exhibit, at the Ambassadors River View at the United Nations. Chicly charitable!
