The Ghanaian fashion scene has been rapidly vibrant in the past years after a crippling global pandemic; COVID-19.
As the infusion of renewed energy, grit, and thriving creativity wiggles through the industry in its reclamation of influence in the world again; its bold, eccentric, colourful, regal, and ‘ooh, I am a spec’ attitude never left the stage when the lights dimmed and the loud chatters faded away.
Fashion has always captivated the heart and imagination of its patrons at any given moment with functional and dynamic representations of human beauty and diversity.
The golden city of the Ashanti Kingdom, Kumasi blossomed in its glory as the country graced the land from the East, West, North and South at the 2023 edition of the Kumasi Fashion Week.
The day 3-day event which began from Friday to Sunday at the Kumasi City Mall saw the advent of well-curated activities such as a Welcome Party, Fashion Networking Brunch, Sales and Exhibitions, Business Seminar, Street style and the Grand Runway shows.
On the runway, several notable and budding brands and designers were spotted with unique stories ranging from self-expression, history, culture to climate change.
The dynamic story of AkosahMetier; a clothing brand established in 2018 which specialises in the creation of Batik art and Tie & dye fabrics stood out at the Kumasi Fashion Week 2023 runway show.
The edginess of designs and vibrant colours reiterated the need for sustainable ways of production in the fashion industry as they collaborated with @ehelpbrands; an ethical and eco-sustainable fashion brand with a purpose of encouraging people to invest in themselves by purchasing quality ethical goods to support the fight against generational poverty in Ghana, Africa.
