What was supposed to be a momentous highlight quickly turned into a nightmare. When 27-year-old London-based society fixture Nga Nguyen was invited to her first Gucci show earlier this year, she was ecstatic. With her sister Nguyen Hong Nhung in tow, she flew into Milan on 18 February to catch the Italian brand’s fall/winter 2020 collection. A week later, the pair made another whirlwind trip to Paris—this time, to attend the Saint Laurent show. Another week passed before the horror began.
At a routine medical check-up on a business trip to Europe, a mild cough led Nguyen to undergo a Covid-19 test. The positive result that came back marked the start of a harrowing month as the initial fever and cough gave way to suffocating chest pains and breathing complications. “It’s like someone’s pressing on your chest. You can’t even lie on your side. Just breathing or getting up to go to the bathroom was so difficult,” says Nguyen of that episode. It took two weeks of aggressive treatment in a hospital and two negative tests before she was finally in the clear.
