With much that is valued about women entrepreneurship as a whole having been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the co-hosts of the 5th Annual Women in Business Expo, the Sonia Noel Foundation, is hoping that today’s virtual event which will use the interior of the Pegasus Hotel as its visual backdrop, will help to generate an enhanced measure of public enthusiasm for the fashion sector, particularly, less than a month away from Christmas.
As part of the coverage which the Stabroek Business has offered on women entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 pandemic, the newspaper has been in touch with high-profile local fashion designer and event planner, Sonia Noel, who last week said that she believed that today’s event will test the mettle and creativity of women in the fashion industry and women in business, as a whole. It is, she added, also a test of loyalty to the industry by local fashion enthusiasts as well as supporters of women entrepreneurship.
