Kencar, a US based company which specializes in modeling, advertisement, and public relations, in other parts of the world, including the Caribbean, have officially settled in Ghana as well, with the launch of their latest fashion magazine.
The Launch took place at Zanzibar restaurant, with the support of fashion-lovers, media, and friends. The night was a night for celebrating Ghanaian fashion like never before and featured up and coming designers, whose works were awesome. The House of ZInzi displayed remarkably artistic bridal wear, and the night progressed to casual, trendy and classy couture by the other designers showcased.
The CEO and Chairman, Mr. Enoch Agyeman and Mr. Ashuk, have high plans for fashion in Ghana. Work is going to be aimed at training and grooming Ghanaian models for the international stage. Thus, a fashion reality TV show, Next Supermodel West Africa, which would be covering Ghana, Nigeria and Benin, would be on screens in December. This show is going to be drawn from America’s Next Top Model. Also, Kencar is organizing an Accra Fashion Week, a big fashion fiesta which would be featuring Eva and Takora from Next Top Model. This fashion fiesta would be held nowhere else but at Fiesta Royale on the 21st and 22nd of October.
So fashion-lovers, get your plates and cutlery and eat your heart out!
LAUNCH OF THE ME COLLECTION AT CITIZEN KOFI
AfroModTrends launched their very first collection, the Me collection which drew quite a number of powerful faces around, including Kofi Amoah, Kofi Ansah, Naa Ashorkor, and a classy clientele. What does that tell you about the line? It was unique!
Exploring creative ways of playing with beads and buttons, the Me collection is an apt description of the personality of the designer; simple lines, unfussy yet chic, classy but sexy and definitely worth a second look. The collection is made up of 3 mini collections named after the personalization of the primo components of buttons, beads and patchwork, hence, the names ButtonMe, BeadMe and PatchMe. These components are everyday design materials that AMT has focused on to become the hallmark of its designs.
AfroModTrends focuses on ready-to-wear and bespoke outfits. There are no over –elaborate cuts or avant-garde styles but only appealing clean lines with the appropriate finish and finesse. This helps achieve its everyday chic sophistication.
There were a few hitches such as the clothes designed being made before models were found for them, instead of the clothes being made for the models. So there were problems such as the clothes being a bit big and not fitting properly on some of the models.
The line is great and is definitely a must-buy!
