Printex Joins Forces with Local Fashion Designers…..
“Last week Printex hosted a select group of Ghana's Top designs at an exclusive event at the African Regent Hotel. Special Presentations were made by noted African fashion blogger Terence Sambo of @OneNigerianBoy and an apparel specialist from USAID/West Africa Trade Hub. Check out the short video with Brigitte Merki, Maksi, Mina Evans, Afri-Ken, Nuna Couture, and Sa4a.” Printex
Paulina Opoku-Gyimah says: I’m very pleased….Printex one of only four remaining textile houses in Ghana has joined forces with local fashion designers in a wonderful marketing exercise that looks set to put their wax print cloths on par with world leaders, -Dutch textile house, Vlisco and hopefully beyond!!!
Regular readers of Ghana Rising know all too well of my wishes to see Ghana’s fading textile mills upping their game, -and I truly believe that this venture is a step in the right direction. We in return must support them and buy made in Ghana / made in Africa cloths… Ghana Rising blog says a big well done to Printex -and looks forward to more initiatives from this promising mill.

Photography: Nana Adwoa Woempiro
I don’t know if it’s the jewel like colours, the carnival verve or the way photographer Nana Adwoa Woempiro has manage to capture her subject, director/producer Ohemaa’s beautiful chocolate smooth skin or maybe all the above, -but I’m loving her style/work and want to see more.
Lighting is always a problem with regards to Ghanaian photographers -but this new talent has no such problems -thus, Ghana Rising wants to encourage Nana Adwoa Woempiro to continue, work with the best, models (real models), MUAs (make-up artists), hairstylists, fashion designers and fashion stylists to do more shoots. I truly believe that Nana Adwoa Woempiro has an eye for details -just what is needed for high-fashion photography… and can do exploits in this field. I look forward to more from this must-watch photographer….
