Ghana Rising Hearts Nana Boateng

As you all know by now I’m a big fan of Ghanaian peacocks -and they don‘t come more pecocky or stylish than menswear designer, Nana Boateng. A predecessor of the Kanye school of dressing, Nana’s style is celebrated by bloggers and glossies alike. Off Ghana Rising’s radar for sometime, -Nana continues to dress the best of Hollywood’s male elite and appears to be taking his label to the next level (and were truly behind him). I hope to see more from this designer -this side of the pond too. For more info visit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nana-Boateng/73966530311

Ghana Rising Hearts Annette Boateng (one of the most fashionable women of Ghanaian origin in the world)…

I’ve coined a new euphony that describes the ever growing band of young, fabulous, successful, uber stylish ‘It’ girls of Ghanaian origin, the GIG, or GIGs, -its stands for Ghanaian It Girl(s), -is embodied perfectly by Annette Boateng. 

Part of the new generation of uber hip British-Ghanaian fashionista bloggers, Ms Boateng's blog is fast becoming the go-to blog of choice for Ghana Rising! Whether she is sharing her innate sense of style, her love of make-up, especially her love of quirky nail vanish, or reporting from one of the various yummy events she’s at, -Ms Boateng’s in-depth knowledge and sense-of-humour shines through. We love her, -think she’s uber fabulous and hope to work with her in the near future. You can keep up with all of Annette Boateng’s hot happenings via: http://annette-hothappenings.blogspot.com/

Ghana Rising Hearts Bridgette Amofah

There’s something about Bridgette Amofah –isn’t there? Beautiful, wiry with never ending legs – Ms Amofah is pretty special! As you already know -I love her music [please see past post] and love her style... She is kind of French like... –with her love of bijoux, simple, sexy dresses. I love the eclectic kooky way she puts a humble stripy long sleeve t-shirt under a dressy sparkly dress, the way she wears a cutesy polka dot headscarf with posh vintage frocks –it makes me want to play dress-up .......Where my dressing up box?

Ghana Rising Hearts Boris Kodjoe

I know it’s obvious but Austrian born, German-Ghanaian ex model Boris Kodjoe can wear –anything and still look good! Branded one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People magazine in 2002 -Actor, activist [he is the president of ‘Sophie's Voice Foundation’ –set up in 2008 in honor of his daughter Sophie who was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at birth] and fashion designer [check out his Ziami label] – Mr Kodjoe can go from fabulously formal in James Bond-esque suites to laidback and preppy in crisp white shirts and jeans combo –with a flat cap….but is truly at his best when accompanied by his beautiful wife -actress Nicole Ari Parker…x

Ghana Rising Hearts Anita Blay -aka Thecocknbullkid

Shaven hair, 80’s Denim jackets, -and a mish-mash of bold dresses, a classic Mac, rock’n’roll t-shirts, a dash of high street and vintage bits‘n’bobs –yep, musician Anita Blay, aka Thecocknbullkid is marching-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drum. From ‘Goddess’ days in show stopping minx-y dresses to ‘am-I-bothered’ days in whacky t-shirts and skirt combo –you’ll never know what your going to get with Thecocknbullkid. To me, Anita is Art -and that’s why I love her; her music and her style….x
