Hameedia, Sri Lanka’s leading menswear specialist, recently presented the winner of Mr. England 2017-18 Jack Eyers with a wardrobe courtesy of its premier brand Envoy London during the course of his visit to Sri Lanka.
As Brand Ambassador of Envoy London, Eyers attended the fifth edition of Hameedia Group Managing Director Fouzul Hameed’s highly-anticipated fashion showcase - Concept 2018 by Hameedia - which was attended by Colombo’s fashion elite, several VIPs, leaders of the business and fashion communities, and the senior management and staff of Hameedia. Envoy London is the official title partner of Mr. England.
The first and second runners-up of the international competition for Mr. England 2017-18, Jack Hesslewood and Zac Oldershaw, were also present at the event. This year, the showcase featured an exclusive range of ready-to-wear and tailor-made collections for modern and stylish urban men.
“We are delighted to host the winner of Mr. England 2017-18, Jack Eyers, in Sri Lanka, along with the first and second runners-up of the international competition, Jack Eyers and Zac Oldershaw. As Brand Ambassador of Envoy London, Jack Eyers has done us proud. His presence at the Concept show, a truly iconic fashion event in the country, further enhanced the evening. It is our pleasure to gift him a stylish Envoy London wardrobe as a token of our appreciation. We are also pleased to have facilitated the travel of the three winners of Mr. England 2017-18 to Galle and other key tourist hotspots in Sri Lanka which they have enjoyed immensely. Envoy London wishes Jack Eyers all the best for his future endeavours and we look forward to seeing them back again soon in Sri Lanka,” said Hameed.
