The event, according to Citi FM, will serve as a platform to unearth talents in the fashion and creative industry as well as help promote well-known and recognised brands through the exhibition of their unique creative designs.
Speaking about tonight’s show, Programmes Manager at Citi FM, Jessica Opare-Saforo said “Citi FM is on a mission to dispel the ideology that everything good comes from abroad and also to fan flames of excitement about the local fabrics hence our strategic partnership with GTP.
“Expressions of Accra is not just a fashion event but a show that seeks to unearth the unusual, new, outrageous and the changing faces of the fashion industry in the country.”
She added that some of the designers who would grace the catwalk with their works included AfroMod Trends, Ghana’s representative at this year’s Big Brother Africa (BBA)—The Chase, Elikem the Tailor, Sa4a Designs, Ameyo, Horseman Shoes and MAKSI Clothing.
“ Also, another BBA— The Chase housemate, Pokello from Zimbabwe who is a guest designer will launch her new clothing line “Queen of Swagger”.
She said the fashion night would be laced with performances from highlife artiste, KK Fosu, poet Nana Asaase and comedian Bash from Nigeria.
She however noted that proceeds from the event would go to the Citi FM Foundation for the support of the underprivileged in the society.
Expressions of Accra is sponsored by GTP Nustyle, HFC Bank and supported by Sleek Cosmetics, Fashion GH, Exopa Modelling Agency and La Palm Royal Beach Hotel with make–up from Renee Q.
