It feels like a lifetime ago when I first posted a piece about said event -and since then, and as you all know, -news about Ghana Fashion and Design Week (GFDW) has gone global with bloggers, magazines and various media outlets expressing interest!!!!
So, I’m really please to inform you that Ghana Rising fave, international make-up artist Claire De-Graft (she has worked with the likes of: Janelle Monae for Arise magazine, Diana Vickers for Harpers Bazaar and Menaye Donkor Muntari for New African Woman magazine and numerous high-end publications including: Harpers Bazaar and Vogue) -has been named as head Make-up artist for Ghana Fashion and Design Week -which is taking place from 5th -7th October 2012, at the Moevenpick Ambassador hotel in Accra, Ghana… Wow!!!

Anyway I’m beyond excited about GFDW!!! Ghana really needs its own professional fashion week and shows that have invited buyers -because otherwise, what is the point?
Below is the latest schedule from Ghana Fashion & Design Week… This professional outfit has dedicated the 8th -9th October 2012 to buyers -Amen.
The said two days have been elegantly set up as an open day for international and local buyers to view [up close] and purchase the catwalk collections at chichi Viva Boutique located in Osu, Accra. -Thus GFDW promises to go where other fashion weeks in Ghana have never tread before, -to bring real business to all those designers and fashion houses taking part -and that’s how the likes of LFW, NYFW operate, and why can’t we!!!!
