The much awaited maiden edition of new television show FASHION 101, made its first screen appearance on Saturday December 31, at exactly 8:30am on TV3.
Given the level of anticipation by most stakeholders and the keenness with which they waited for the first show, it was expected that it wouldn’t be just one of those half-baked shows. And true to the pre-maiden edition hype, FASHION 101, rocked.
Hosted by the ever glamorous and dazzling Sandra Ankobiah, Miss Ghana 2002 Runner-Up, the 30-minute show, FASHION 101 takes viewers on a journey of the usually unnoticed fashion blunders and statements they make on daily basis, to other finer details that make all the difference on one’s persona.
The producers have said they are optimistic of the success of a show that from all indications is going to be a major talking point over the coming weeks that the first 13 episodes would be shown.
“Fashion 101 shall be a leading fashion programme which will capture the hearts of millions of viwers, providing its audience with real fashion direction throughout Africa and beyond,” they’ve said.
The producers also “aim to promote Ghanaian fashion designers and encourage them to create trends for Ghana and the international market”.
FASHION 101 comes at a time when the fashion industry in Ghana needs a bit of prepping up, and it is expected that it will deliver just that.
“It is an interactive, educative, entertaining and viewer-friendly television show ready to set trends”.
On a typical Fashion 101 edition, a four-member panel comprising Chester Annie, Sandra the host and two others, will critique Ghanaian celebrities on their style of dressing, make-up, and hairstyle at any event.
The second part of the programme will see a visibly out of tune fashion victim, completely given a new look and appeal. Every week, a Ghanaian designer provides the clothing for this segment, and the make-up is done by some of the industry’s finest hands.
“On every edition, a lucky individual would get that unique opportunity of having a complete make-over done on him or her. Here, what we would be looking out for, is how the person looked before and after the makeover, and also, whether fashion has been giving a meaning or not”.
Fashion 101 is executive produced by Emerald Paradise Productions, of which Sandra is the CEO, and supported by the Aviation Social Centre, Wardrobe Essentials, Ark Accessories and Tracy J.
It airs on TV3, every other Saturday, at 8:30am.
