JAKARTA, Sept 4 (Jakarta Post/ANN): Indonesia’s high-end fashion industry has had to lay low for the last two years, and with almost zero public events taking place in the country, fashionistas had few opportunities to go out and flaunt their wardrobe, or to buy new outfits.

“The pandemic hit us in the secondary sector very hard,” renowned couture designer Sebastian “Seba” Gunawan told The Jakarta Post during a phone interview on Aug. 19. “All fashion designers and brands across the globe also felt the impact.”
