Last week, I had the
opportunity to join other speakers at the Accra Edition of the Fashion Africa
Voices (FAV) as part of the British Council Ghana Enterprise Africa Summit.
Founded by Jacqueline Shaw,
Fashion African Voices is organized by the African Fashion Guide in partnership
with the British Council Ghana, Hatch Africa and Fashion Forum Africa.
The event had 4 panel
discussions on Fashion and Education, Fashion and Ethics, Fashion and Finance
and an up close interview by Ivy Proper with Maame Adjei of An African City and
Girl Going Places on the “Bigger Picture”
There were other speakers
such as Yvonne Ntiamoah of Radford University, Nana K. Adusei of Charlotte
Prive, Claudia Lumor of Glitz Africa, Vanessa Bannerman of Christie Brown,
Stephania Manfreda of Elle Lokko, amongst others.
Fashion Africa Voices is a
mini talk event aimed at supporting business development goals and get these
businesses on the road to success bearing in mind that ultimately it will be
driving success in Africa’s textile industry.
Africa Fashion Guide was
birthed with the focus to create an awareness campaign that promotes the full
supply chain of the African fashion and textile industry with an ethical
perspective and create links with the greater global textile industry.
It was a pleasure adding my
voice to support the promotion and economic development in Africa and also promote
ethical and sustainable fashion.
