The awards ceremony was webcasted live on the Mvintage Facebook page. Mvintage has made a statement about the importance of establishing the Woman of the Year Award. This was brought to light after defining the brand’s main value as ‘female empowerment’, thus the concept of honouring some of the outstanding women who have shaped Maltese society fits in perfectly with its mission. Mvintage was created by Krystle Penza out of her passion for art and fashion and her desire to leave a legacy for her daughter.
The other women who were shortlisted for this award were Gabi Calleja, Helga Ellul, Lara Dimitrijevic, Maxine Attard, and Shelley Caruana. Along with these brilliant women, Mvintage also shortlisted Angele Cuschieri, president of Puttinu Cares.
