What made you decide to step up this initiative?

I have always been a philanthro­pist. I set up my foundation which supports

How are you handling #stayhome? Being a creative person this #Stayhome has given me time to reflect and rejuvenate. Yes, I am constantly working on both my designs and concepts for my next collection.

What impact do you think this crisis will have on fashion? Will it influence/ change next season’s looks when we return?

Fashion will always be a form of creative expression. I believe that each person will respond differentl­y after the crisis and most people will be looking forward to the opportunit­y of getting dressed up and going out again, especially after being casual and at home for so long. I truly believe that fashion will make a comeback stronger than ever.

Before the crisis, what were your thoughts on the Middle east fashion industry and how do you think it will change after?

The Middle East has always been passionate about fashion and it’s an industry that is currently influencin­g the world, especially during this time of inclusion and diversity. Each city tells its own story from the “glamour” of Milan to the “chic” of Paris or the “street style” of London. We have to celebrate each fashion city for its uniqueness and get inspired by it. niall Horan Has penned a love song on starting a romance in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.

Horan’s new social distancing love takes inspiratio­n from the iconic number Hey There Delilah, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Horan told The Guardian: “I’m in London in my apartment, cooking -- I’m making a Victoria sponge right now -- and writing a lot: two songs yesterday. I had to cancel my tour, so I might as well go on the hunt for a big song. I started writing a Hey There Delilah-type one about when this is all over, called, well, When This Is All Over, and I was also writing about the idea of meeting someone without actually meeting them, and getting to know them because of this crisis.”

The musician says there are benefits to dating from distance. He said: “It’s an odd one: it’s actually a good way to get to know someone. Usually, say you went to a bar for a date, you’re probably drunk after five drinks and you forget everything you’ve learned about them. Now, you actually have time to ask questions. There’s no romances as of yet, but I wouldn’t mind if they started to blossom.”
