Models on the Runway


I know its been past a couple of weeks since the Accra Men's Fashion Week (AMFW) event took place but I have been wanting to share my thoughts on the event.

Being the Public Relations Specialist for the event I received some feedback especially from attendees of the event. What was constant was that the Set up, Lighting, Runway and Organisation were all on point and even an impressive turnout of guests. Others mentioned that they weren't too impressed with some of the looks and models on the runway. Others also mentioned that they would have loved to see more established brands on the runway. All that said, they applauded the organizers of the event for pulling such a great event.

My thoughts

As you may know, starting something as unique as this event is no small joke. Designers, Corporate organizations and individuals were not too sure how this event will turn out hence were hesitant to join even when given the platform at no cost to them. All the same, some few designers and emerging ones applied and participated and they expressed excitement after the event.

Being the first of its kind in Ghana and the sub saharan Africa, Designers and Models from neighboring countries such as Cote D'Ivoire, Benin, Togo welcomed this opportunity and participated in the fashion event. After this first edition, I am certain they will like to be associated with this event  going forward.

Looking forward to AMFW2017

Hopefully next year, we will have more established and emerging designers from various countries participating. We look forward to sponsorships and partnerships from corporate orgainsations joining in. I should mention that there are many other aspects of Mens fashion and style that we hope to grow within this space and I am personally looking forward to it. "Everything that makes Men Men"! From clothing, shoes, bags, belts, underwears, watches, jewelry, accessories, auto etc

Its all about the Accra Men’s Fashion Week coming up next weekend from the April 30 to the May 1, 2016 at the Lifestyle Gallery, Spintex Road.

I am personally enthused about this event being the 2nd on the continent to dedicate a fashion show event solely for men. Men deserve some attention; don’t they? Let’s give them that.
Accra Mens Fashion Week, we will have models strut the runway showcasing all things menswear and accessories.

Interestingly, there will be designers from other African countries such as Benin, Togo, Cote D’ivoire and Cameroun giving us a full West African feel of what is trending within the men’s fashion world.

I am the PR lead for the event and we've had a series of media interviews to publicize the event. Our social media handles are also constantly updated on all thats happening. Follow us and hashtag us at #AMFW2016 and we will be glad to share your posts.

Accra Men’s Fashion Week has been launched to take place from February 27-28, 2016 at the World Trade Center.

The event is one of a kind and I am really looking forward to it. A weekend destination that will assemble all men's wear and accessories at one venue. New trends in men's fashion, style and grooming.
 
Nana Mensah, CEO of Fame Model Management, organizers of Accra Men’s Fashion Week has expressed his excitement at the maiden edition of this event. He added that the objective is to draw more attention to men’s fashion and accessories and grooming while promoting national culture.

I believe it's different and worth attending. Start scheduling this event on your calendar as you will also see designers from other African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Togo and Benin amongst others. Lets battle it out to see which country wows us on the runway.
 
Interestingly, popular Ghanaian Actor John Dumelo, Musician Nana Boro, Model Adams Abasigo; Winner of Mr. Model Ghana 2015 have been revealed as ambassadors for the event for their different roles in the fashion and style industry in Ghana.
