The first ever fashion event in Ghana, specifically tailored to Corporate fashion and accessories in Ghana will officially open tomorrow, 26th July, 2018.
The 3-day event dubbed Corporate Fashion Exposé with the theme “WEAR IT RIGHT” is organized by Maria’s Fashion House, a unisex clothes production house that specializes in affordable, Afrocentric, formal, evening and casual outfits with over 15 years’ design and creative experience.
Speaking ahead of the official opening ceremony, the Executive Director of Maria’s Fashion House, Maria Adams noted that the main idea behind the event is to lead a movement where Ghanaian and African produced fabrics will be well tailored for official corporate events and not limited only to Fridays and weekends.
According to her, Corporate Ghana must help change the Ghanaian fashion industry’s narrative, especially when it comes to patronage of our locally produced fabrics for corporate wears.
She said that “the time has come for us as Ghanaians to walk the talk of pushing made in Ghana products out there. We often have limited the use of our Ghanaian and African fabrics to only Friday wears.
