A Fashion Revival: Chapters Couture Batik Tie And Dye Collection

Chapters Couture, a renowned fashion brand in Ghana, has launched a new collection purposely to revive the Batik Tie and Dye industry in Ghana. 

Mr. Robert Raymond Cudjoe, CEO of Chapters Couture stressed on the fact that many designers and shoppers of the ‘African Print’ clothing have ignored the tie and dye print and focused mostly on other fabrics like Woodin, GTP, Vlisco to the extent of having Chinese fabric producers  file into the country with their pirated prints.

“It seems people have forgotten, tie and dye is also African,” he said “and most designers are not fusing this beautiful print in designs they come up with. This I believe is crippling the tie and dye entrepreneurs we have in this country not to talk of textile graduates from our various  tertiary institutions. 

If attention is given to our tie and dye just as it did with our African print some years back, I believe we can grow that sector and even reduce graduate unemployment.

Hit or Miss? Yvonne Okoro Defends Sexy Dress

“Ghana Must Go” actress Yvonne Okoro has defended her see-through designer dress she recently wore to the premiere of her latest movie, saying she finds nothing wrong with it.

The popular actress described the dress as beautiful and fun to wear, following criticisms that the dress was too short and revealing for the kind of image that she represents.

“I felt I didn’t want anything fancy but rather something simple and easy just like the movie and its fun. Well, it wasn’t revealing. I was well covered,” Yvonne Okoro said Thursday.

The beautiful actress popped up at the premiere ceremony which took place at the Silverbird Cinemas at Accra Mall in black missguided and louboutin shoes with an aqua designer necklace. The dress drew a lot of people’s attention to her.

But that wasn’t the first time she raised eyebrows with her dress. She has a penchant for wowing her followers once in a while with dresses that show her skin. A good example was when she wowed Africa at the Africa Movie Academy Awards with a dress that exposed her boobs.
