Natural Woman

THE PARTY As purveyors of a relaxed island lifestyle and a renewable approach to beauty, Mālie Organics has become a must-have among more than a few women. That’s why it was natural for the brand to support the Women’s Fund of Hawai‘i with a benefit, co-hosted with Modern Luxury Hawai‘i. THE GUESTS Mālie Organics founder Dana Roberts flew in from Kaua‘i to mingle with Bree Dalwitz, Muriel Joseph, Eleni Kaufufi, Darren Dya, Mike Kwok and Clay Koniksen, among others. THE HIGHLIGHTS Since the coveted brand uses indigenous Hawaiian flora to create its line of luxury spa and beauty products, the cuisine needed to equally honor local traditions. Chef Mark Noguchi rose to the challenge with a selection of tempting, organic bites. Guests also enjoyed a Hawaiian Hydrosols Prosecco bar featuring bubbly by Ruffino. Hydrosols, also featured in Mālie Organics products, are gentle, distilled floral waters. Gentle yet powerful, grounded yet ethereal—this sounds like many women we know, honor and support. –Photos by Tracy Chan
