Fashion Week 2021 in the making
A more tone-downed version of the illustrious Seychelles Fashion Week was organised yesterday afternoon at the ICCS, with the participation of six designers.
The third Seychelles Fashion Week was re-dubbed the Seychelles Night yesterday afternoon with a smaller budget and venue, but with the same enthusiasm.
Terry Carolla, the organiser, noted that the novel coronavirus had affected plans to hold the Fashion Week in mid-year, in June or July, and they were forced to scrap the event all together in March.
Attempts to organise a virtual show was unsuccessful as international designers were also under lockdown and sponsorships dried up.
The recent promise of 50,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine from the United Arab Emirates government might be doled out as soon as January 2021, President Wavel Ramkalawan has stated.
In an exclusive interview with TeleSesel, President Ramkalawan, who is on a five-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), noted that Seychellois will receive the vaccine jabs once the Ministry of Health “gives the green light,” on the vaccine.
“This will help us re-open our economy and will be good for our country. Seychelles will most probably be among one of the few island states to be vaccinating its citizens. This is really good news and we are now only awaiting for the green light from the Ministry of Health and if everything goes according to plan, Seychellois will be getting the vaccine early in January,” said the president.
