The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Patmens Clothing, Ms Patience Mensah, has described gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor as versatile.

This is because “she sketches her own design on paper to help me understand what she wants and how she wants her dress to be made.”

“She always comes up with an idea of how she wants her outfit to be”

Ms Mensah said Celestine was introduced to her by a friend, Linda, from Insaaniyya Secondary School at Bodwoase in the Central Region.

She explained that making clothes for Celestine had opened up a lot of opportunities for her adding that “She gives me regular mentions and tags on social media platforms.”

The evergreen gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor has described her stylist as very talented because “she is the only designer who makes my clothes the way I want it”. Because has worked with a lot of artistes she prefers Patmens’s handy works to other designers having dealt with her for the past four years.

Final-year students of the Accra Technical University (ATU) Department of Fashion Design and Textile Technology on Friday showcased their creativity and craftsmanship in Accra.

The annual event held under the theme: ‘Wear Your Culture: Tradition Meets Modernity,’ saw 366 students showcased various designs as part of their final year practical work.

Dean of the Faculty of Applied Arts, Professor George Agyei Osei, explained that the exhibition provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and competencies they have acquired throughout their training.

Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts and former Head of Department of Fashion and Textile Technology, Dr Mrs Emma Donkor, said this year’s cohort comprised 366 students, with each student producing four designs, one of which was exhibited at the school’s auditorium while three were presented during the fashion show.

Mrs Donkor encouraged graduating students to build their businesses gradually, noting that a sewing machine and a small workspace could provide the foundation for a successful fashion enterprise.

One of the graduating students, Philipa Adu, said the theme was a reminder to designers not to blindly imitate Western fashion at the expense of African culture.
