It’s an honour to be Face of Runway Ghana - Model Araba Sey

Award-winning model, Araba Sey, has been unveiled as the face of international fashion show, Runway Ghana, and as part of her duties, she is expected to lead the organisation’s efforts to consolidate gains made in the past years.

Araba, who could not hide her excitement at the appointment, said she was grateful for the opportunity.

“I am honoured to be appointed as the face of Runway Ghana 2020. I am excited about the future of the Ghanaian fashion industry, and very thankful for the opportunity to contribute my bit to making this year’s event bigger and better,” she said in a press release.

In its fourth year, the international fashion showcase will be held in December 2020 and will feature seasoned designers from countries including Ghana, United States of America, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, Liberia and Italy.

Dubbed: “Next Level of Fashion,” organisers say this year’s event will build up on the successes achieved in previous editions by continuing to showcase Ghanaian fashion, music and art to a global audience.

It will also be an avenue to throw more light on and educate the public on the coronavirus pandemic – an important discussion point for this year.

Activities planned for this year include a workshop to educate participants on business opportunities in the fashion industry and highlighting emerging fashion designers through a collaborative catwalk and exhibition.
 
At the end of the session, a Ghanaian model will be nominated as a national tourism ambassador to represent the country at international fashion events. Runway Ghana 2020 will be held with the support of the Ministry of Tourism,  Arts and Culture.

Founded in 2016, Runway Ghana brings together stakeholders in the fashion industry including models, fashion designers and customers to collaborate and share ideas on how to make the industry better and beneficial for everyone involved.
