A Celebration of Strength, Style & Sisterhood: Our International Women's Day Event

This year, we marked International Women's Day in true style - bringing together an inspiring group of women for an unforgettable private dining experience on the Gold Coast. It was an afternoon of powerful conversations, shared wisdom, and, of course, an exclusive sneak peek at some of our upcoming styles. Here are some of the highlights....

Celebrating International Women's Day, a group of women all wearing clothing by Australian and New Zealand fashion brand, Leina & Fleur pose outside of the event venue. They wear printed jersey dresses, wrap dresses and even a denim pant suit in all sizes from petite to plus size.

Originally scheduled for International Women's Day itself, the event had to be rescheduled due to Cyclone Alfred, but the wait was well worth it. From the moment guests arrived, there was an unmistakable sense of camaraderie in the air - women connecting over shared experiences, professional journeys, and a collective passion for lifting each other up.

All the women wear Australian made clothing by L&F including a pink pant suit a floral print wrap dress and, black and white print, wide leg pants and white shirt.

Words that Resonate

One of the highlights of the event was a heartfelt recorded presentation from over 40s beauty expert Amanda Ramsay, who, due to scheduling conflicts post-cyclone, couldn’t attend in person. But her message landed just as powerfully: Start being the main character in your own life.

Amanda invited everyone to participate in a simple yet profound Post-it Note activity—writing down three words as a daily reminder to embrace their own power. A ripple of excitement and reflection filled the room as women shared their words, reinforcing a shared commitment to self-confidence and self-prioritisation.

Women Supporting Women

Financial expert Soonah Walkom took the stage next, speaking candidly about the challenges of climbing the career ladder as a woman. She shared her own experiences of reaching new heights in her field, only to find female solidarity thinning the higher she went. It was an eye-opening conversation, sparking honest discussions about how we, as women, can actively support and uplift each other at every stage of our professional and personal lives.

A Sneak Peek

Of course, no event of ours would be complete without a little fashion magic. Guests enjoyed an exclusive preview of some of our upcoming styles - beautiful prints, soft fabrics, and effortless pieces designed for the modern woman. (See if you can spot a few in the photos!)

From the heartfelt words shared to the connections formed, our International Women’s Day event was a beautiful reminder of the power of community. To those who joined us - thank you for bringing your energy, your voices, and your style. And to those who couldn’t make it, we can’t wait to see you at our next gathering.

Until then, here’s to women celebrating, supporting, and empowering women, every day of the year.
