The Power of Women

During the Washington Design Center’s Fall Market Day on September 29th, RUE IV hosted a panel discussion entitled “The Power of Women.” Editor in chief Sharon Jaffe Dan moderated the conversation, which focused on the challenges and rewards of creating a design brand with five innovative female entrepreneurs whose lines are represented in the showroom. After the panel, attendees met the makers and perused their wares.
