In honor of the occasion, Dress for Success visited the Empire State Building's iconic, reimagined Observatory Experience on March 24, featuring CEO Michele C. Meyer-Shipp and Olivia Palermo, renowned entrepreneur, style icon, and longtime champion of women's success. As a member of the campaign's Inspire Committee, Palermo is helping to amplify the campaign's mission to support unemployed and underemployed women in achieving economic independence through Dress for Success' career development programs, mentorship, and no-cost resources.
"Success begins with opportunity, and Dress for Success has long been committed to providing women with the tools they need to step into their careers with confidence. It's inspiring to see collaborations like these that help spotlight this mission and the incredible women whose stories are being celebrated. I'm proud to support the Women Who Inspire Campaign and to be a part of their meaningful work," said Palermo.
"The Women Who Inspire Campaign embodies the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere—values at the heart of Dress for Success' mission to support unemployed and underemployed women on their paths to economic self-independence. We are thrilled to have Olivia Palermo join us in shining a spotlight on this important work, and we are deeply grateful to the Empire State Building for illuminating the skyline in honor of this campaign. This powerful display is a testament to the impact we can create when we come together to uplift and celebrate women globally," said Meyer-Shipp.
During the Women Who Inspire Campaign, Palermo is joined by additional distinguished Inspire Committee members, such as long-time Dress for Success Brand Ambassador Scarlett Johansson, Shay Mitchell, Yara Shahidi, Sunny Hostin, Whitney Port-Rosenman, Kate Young, Joe Zee, and Micaela Erlanger, among many others. These ambassadors play a crucial role in raising awareness and rallying support for Dress for Success' global programming.
