GHANA FASHION AND DESIGN WEEK 2016: A NEW TALENT AND NATURAL HAIR AFFAIR





The Ghana Fashion and Design Week returned this October and as usual, the prestigious event brought together fashion lovers from Ghana and abroad.

Held at the Labadi Beach Hotel, GFDW 2016 saw creative showcases by young and talented Ghanaian and African designers.

It was a delight to see so many upcoming fashion designers showcase their designs on the runway.

And now my favourite part, the models.
About 70-80 percent of models on the runway had natural hair(unrelaxed).

As a natural hair model, I love that so many models are now embracing their natural hair . Award winning hairstylist Charlotte Mensah was at her usual best as she made sure the models' hair was "popping" on the runway.

Oh I didn't mention the cupcakes 🙈🙈🙈

In all it was a good event, well attended and I can't wait for what they have in store for us in 2017.


Check out some cool photos taken by Apagnawen Annankra at the event.

MY FUSION DE WOODIN ROMPER



October was a really interesting month and a very busy one for Ghana fashion and African fashion in general as we had one fashion week after the other, and some happening at the same time. 
Well! Lets leave that for another day.

I stepped out in confidence last weekend dressed in this versatile Woodin Romper from their Fusion Collection.
Rompers are generally worn as casuals, but I wore it to a corporate event and felt right at home, thanks to the style and the length of the shorts.

And again I got away with minimal styling as the bold and beautiful print gave me little work to do (I am not complaining). 

My favourite thing about this outfit will have to be the fabric, its ethnic yet modern look.

Woodin fabrics are not only a modern interpretation of African culture and arts but also reflect a modern cosmopolitan lifestyle; a perfect bridge between the young and the old.

Walk into any Woodin retail store closest to you (NB Woodin has retail shops in over 8 African countries), get your ready-to-wear outfits for that special occasion or even for work,and shop in comfort and style.

Still thinking of other places I'm going to rock this outfit to :-)
Tag me in your fusion outfits when you post them.....xxx
