Accra Fashion Week 2017 Scheduled For 3-8th October; Designer Registration Now Open

Accra Fashion Week 2017 is scheduled for the 3-8th October 2017 as announced by the organizers, and it just opened up registration for designers, buyer, media and more. The venue is still yet to be confirmed as they are yet to decide which offer will work best for the international event set to take place in Accra, Ghana.

This year's fashion extravaganza is dubbed 'The Buyers Opportunity'. This is based on the ethos that Ghanaians and African designers as a whole need to take the approach of realizing their brand's worth, and applying it to their business and showcasing it as such on the day of their AFWk show. And in the direction fashion is moving in today, it is more of an opportunity for the local boutiques and international buyers to engage in business with African designers.

"The only difference between western brands and ours is no longer the quality, it's simply just the branding, and this year we will see that level up, so its really an opportunity for the stores to start looking to Africa" stated Nana Tamakloe "By the end of 2017 you will really be a disgrace as a boutique owner if you are not stocking African fashion brands, especially if you are based in Africa. It's no more about prints, or headwraps, that's nice. But the question is what African brand is it. That's what matters."
