Speaking about awards and awards again. Last weekend I was at the Afroma Awards 2015 organised by the Afro Model Agency, Ghana.

As usual, it started late though. Two reasons why the event got me happy:

One: As the official PR Agency(E'April Public Relations), we were excited to see Marie, Designer for Totally Ethnik won the Promising Designer of the Year. This comes after 3 nominations already this year.
Secondly because I believe this awards event covers other areas of the fashion industry which have hither to been forgotten or ignored; for instance models and modeling agencies. This recognize the many other individuals and institutions that are also playing instrumental roles in the fashion industry in Ghana

Abrantie again picked up the biggest award for the night as the Designer of the Year making it his 2nd after the Glitz Style Awards.

Its my fervent wish that next year's event will be much bigger and better.
