In a brief ceremony the Consul General thanked the designer for his contribution to the Diaspora and the industry. She lauded him for his generosity and commended him on achieving this milestone, never compromising on quality and attention to detail. She pointed to a number of the models who were on hand wearing pieces from the designer as evidence of his brand’s style and allure.
