This past week, fashion enthusiasts from all over the world descended on the Ghanaian city of Accra to attend Fashion Weekend. The event is an annual showcase for Ghanaian designers and a chance for them to show off their latest collections.
Ghana's markets have been growing in recent years as more people outside of Ghana have been drawn to the country's unique fashion. This year, there were over 100 designers showcasing their work at this year's Fashion Weekend.
Diane D. Ebeid
Diane D. Ebeid is the founder of L'Afrique Fashion House and the designer of this week's most notable outfit: a black dress with gold accessories. Diane has been featured in Forbes Africa and Ghanaian high-fashion magazine, Destiny, which called her designs "fresh, young and chic."
Osei Kwame
Osei Kwame is the designer behind many of Ghana's top brands like Osei Collections, Osew Collection, and Vogue House. Known for his resort wear collections like swimwear, kaftans and other beach wear, he also sells ready-to-wear clothes at his stores.

Ghanaian fashion has been gaining more popularity over the last few years. The country's markets have also increased as more people outside of Ghana are drawn to its unique fashion. One event this week in Accra featured rising stars in the fashion industry.
In light of Fashion Weekend, here are some popular designers and their most notable pieces from this week:
Ghanaian fashion is unique in many ways. One way it's unique is the fabric. Ghanaian designers are famous for their use of woven Kanhu fabric in their designs. This fabric originally comes from the Ewe tribe and its popularity has grown over the years. The material is light and breathable, but still thick enough to maintain a formal appearance.
Another difference about Ghanaian fashion is how much color there is in many of the designs. Bright colors, patterns, and prints make up some of the most popular pieces within Ghanaian fashion. As a result, it gives a sense of fun to the clothing while remaining sophisticated at the same time. Even though Ghanaian fashion is known for its bright colors and patterns, there's also a focus on simple cuts that allow Ghanaians to wear their clothes with pride as they honor their heritage and culture through their clothing choices.

It’s not just the clothes that make Ghanaian fashion special, it’s the history and culture behind it.
