Fashion 4 Development’s annual “First Ladies Luncheon” is a magnet for powerful women, and Tuesday’s event at the Pierre Hotel was no exception, with Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani being an honoree. She also praised the pop star Dua Lipa (who has citizenship in Kosovo, Albania and the U.K) for supporting Kosovo. Born to ethnic Albanian parents, Osmani was elected as Kosovo’s sixth president in April 2021. Osmani also spoke enthusiastically about Kosovo’s fashion designers, and she said that she hopes that the global exposure about their talents will increase. Asked about an everyday sustainable practice that others could adopt, Osmani praised Kosovo’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
