Behind The Scenes At The Great Women Of Our Time 2017 Cocktail & Awards Presentation

What a party, and what a night! Happy 20th Anniversary The Singapore Women’s Weekly! And congrats to all the Great Women Of Our Time 2017 winners!

by Natalya Molok  /   October 13, 2017

You might have heard about this little event we at The Singapore Women’s Weekly threw last night — our Great Women Of Our Time 2017 awards, which coincided with our 20th Anniversary celebrations. It was so spectacular, so impressive, and so inspiring that a little awards presentation ceremony wasn’t going to do. No, for our 20th Anniversary, we had to go big, and thanks to Lancôme who was our presenter this year, we took over the lounge area of VLV Clarke Quay to toast, eat, and dance the night away. Here’s your insider’s guide to it all!
