EBS, Student Council:
The event unfolded many aspects. It began with two great speeches from Mart Habakuk and EBS’s Student Council’s chairman, Gabriel Männe welcoming the guests. Our hosts were Amorlianna Sanchez and Teemu Soisalo, who had amazing synergy for the whole night. Attendees got to enjoy a 3-course meal and listen to some wonderful jazz music, played by a Latvian saxophonist, EVA. Not only was there some jazz grooves, our own student, Artur Rennel, was our DJ for the night.
This year Haba Gala had the chance to collaborate with Samm Korraga, a sustainable fashion project, to create first-ever Haba Gala fashion show, showcasing sustainable ways to love clothes. This added an extra touch to the gala, making it one of the highlights of the night. In collaboration with Samm Korraga we had many sustainable fashion partners – Rentalier, Yaga, Riisaikel, Gowri and Uuskasutuskeskus, who helped find amazing outfits for our models. Our idea was to encourage others as well to buy second hand clothes or rent their outfits.
The main highlight of the evening was the award ceremony. 9 categories and 9 winners.
